The roots of Mazzega 1946 lie in the noble
Venetian glassworking tradition: the firm
was founded in 1946 by Angelo Vittorio
Mazzega in Murano, a land of furnaces,
masters and their assistants known as
“serventi” and “serventini”, who still today
guard the age-old techniques for working
the glass.
In over half a century Mazzega 1946, wi-
thout betraying its origins, has revived and
reinterpreted the Murano heritage with
passion and tenacity, inviting international
designers with heterogeneous expressive
languages to take on those alchemies of
sands, oxides and powders.
The result is an amazing proposal of blown
glass lamps that interact with contempo-
raneity, in vibrant equilibrium between art
and industry, tradition and modernity.
