Rejuvenating tradition
- • Giovanni is heir to two Murano glass dynasties
- • He launched his atelier to modernise the tradition
- • All his Venetian mirrors are made by hand from start to finish
Venetian glasswork is not learnt at school: you learn it by doing. Giovanni Simionato was an eight year-old boy when he began to assimilate this ancient craftsmanship in his family’s atelier in Murano, established by his parents who were, in turn, heirs to two important glasswork dynasties. Giovanni’s destiny was written in his DNA. Yet, after many years spent building a solid know-how in the family business, Simionato went his own way, launching RV Murano, his brand of Venetian mirrors. Since then, he’s been working hard with a handful of collaborators as young as himself, to create high quality products that are both faithful to tradition and modern. "My goal is to preserve ancient techniques that are dying out and apply them to contemporary designs," he explains.
