RITAGLI

is one of the collections designed by Fulvio Bianconi, inspired by his exploration of the cutting technique in glass design. In this collection, Bianconi experimented with innovative methods of cutting glass, creating distinctive surface patterns that give the pieces depth and unique visual effects. The inspiration behind RITAGLI comes from Bianconi’s desire to explore the relationship between the beauty of glass forms and the play of light and shadow. By cutting and creating different patterns on the surface of the glass, these pieces appear dynamic and shift in appearance depending on the viewer's perspective. The use of the cutting technique reflects Bianconi’s creative and innovative approach to glassmaking during that time.
