Changing seasons

  • • Robert specialises in the ancient craft of Venetian blown glass
  • • His work shifts between the fields of art, design and craftsmanship
  • • He develops bespoke projects for his clients

Born in Innsbruck, Robert Comploj started his career attending several glassblowing classes at Corning Museum of Glass in New York, held by renowned Murano master glassblower Elio Quarisa. After graduating at the Glass Design School in Kramsach, Austria, in 2017 he moved to Vienna where he established Studio Comploj: a team of craftsmen and women dedicated to rewriting the storyline of one of the oldest crafts with a never-ending commitment to invention and innovation. “I like to challenge the material, and to bring the old craft back into the minds of people while designing contemporary objects.” He is inspired by nature and daily life, aiming to replicate the ease of water and air in his objects. The colours and shapes he develops are deeply influenced by the changing seasons.
