About Fulvio Bianconi
Fulvio Bianconi (Padua 1915 – Milan 1996) was an Italian artist and designer best known for his innovative work in glass, particularly during his time with the renowned Murano glass company Venini. Trained in illustration and decorative arts, Bianconi began his career designing book covers and packaging before turning his attention to glassmaking in the late 1940s.
At Venini, he introduced a fresh, modern approach to glass design, often characterized by bright colors, asymmetrical forms, and a playful spirit. His best-known series include the Fazzoletto (handkerchief) vases and the Pezzato (patchwork) collection, both of which became emblematic of postwar Italian glass art.
Bianconi’s work is held in the collections of several major museums, including the Murano Glass Museum in Venice, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Corning Museum of Glass in the United States.
