Italian glass designer Fulvio Bianconi was born in 1915 in Padua. He began his career as an apprentice in the Murano glass furnaces under the direction of Michael Pinto and worked with a variety of Milan’s publishers—including Mondadori, Bompiani, and Garzanti—as an illustrator and graphic designer. Bianconi met Paolo Venini in 1946, an encounter that led to his extensive collaboration over several years with Venini’s Murano-based glass house, a pioneer of 20th-century glass production. With Venini, Bianconi created strikingly colored, simply shaped, often organically inspired objets d’art, vases, as well as lighting, such as the alluringly biomorphic Fazzoletto series (1948) and the multicolored Pezzati vases (1950), which call to mind abstract paintings. Bianoconi’s midcentury work is included in numerous prestigious collections, including Indianapolis Museum of Art; Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; the Museum of New Zealand, Wellington; the Stedilijk Museum, Amsterdam; the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; and, in New York, The Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Museum of Modern Art; Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum; and Corning Museum of Glass. Bianconi passed away in 1996.
One of the most famous post-war Italian graphic designers, Fulvio Bianconi began his career learning the art of decorating glass at the workshops of Murano under the directorship of Michael Pinto, where he returned later in life to begin his fruitful product design career and establish Murano as the place for production of artistic glass around the globe. Before his innovations, glass had been used for utilitarian purposes. Bianconi pushed the limits of glassmaking in the traditional sense and material of glass itself by transforming it in both theory and practice. His works—lamps, vases, and sculptural objects—were developed coming out of his illustrious graphic design positions at some of the most prestigious publishing houses in Italy, who allowed him to create work for the sake of exploration.

Alfredo Barbini, a glass artist born in 1912 on the islands of Murano in the lagoon of Venice, Italy, was one of Murano's leading figures of the twentieth century. His parents were members of families which had I been prominent in the glassmaking industry on Murano for generations as glassblowers and beadmakers. Alfredo Barbini began learning the art of glass at the age of ten at Abate Zanetti, the design school attached to the Murano Glass museum. He then went on to work for Ferro Toso, Cristalleria Murano, Zecchin-Martinuzzi, Seguso Vetri'dArte and Vetri Artistici Muranesi Societa Anonima. In 1946 he became a partner at Cenedese, and then began Barbini Glassworks in 1950. Some financial assistance for setting up the factory was provided by Salviati. In exchange, Barbini supplied Salviati with some of the glassware they produced. This explains why some known Barbini designs can be found with Salviati labels. Barbini has become renowned for his heavy, thick sculptural forms which have won him many awards. In 1952 Alfredo's daugher Oceania Barbini-Moretti joined the glassworks and became the company's sales manager. His son Flavio became a designer for the firm in 1968.
