Berengo Studio

The tradition of glass meets contemporary artIn 1989 Adriano Berengo founded the creative glass furnace Berengo Studio with the desire to “make artists think in glass.” Through a cunning combination of craft and creativity Berengo established a unique space wherein contemporary artists could come to explore the untapped potential of the medium and collaborate with the skilled hands of traditional Venetian glass masters to realise their ideas. In the Studio the craftsmen push themselves to their limits, often developing innovative techniques in order to realise an artist’s original visions, in a never-ending creative dialogue whereby years of tradition are energised by artistic thinking. In more than 30 years, over 300 international artists have collaborated with the Studio to make art in glass, including names such as Ai Weiwei, Tony Cragg, Laure Prouvost, Tracey Emin, Thomas Schütte, Erwin Wurm, and Vik Muniz.
