Glass Table Lamp – Artist

Alessandro Mandruzzato Glass is part of the Mandruzzato family business. It has developed its own particular style over four generations.  Founded by Benjamin Mandruzzato in 1934, the knowledge, skills, and expertise in glassmaking have been handed down to the present day.  Alessandro is the fourth generation to head up the Mandruzzato family factory on Murano.

Gianfranco, Alessandro’s father, worked on projects with some of the arts’ greatest, including Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, and Max Ernst.  Such experiences equipped Gianfranco to create geometric designs that were unique at the time.

Destined by his own love of glass and family tradition, Alessandro was determined to learn every skill and technique he could, and attended many workshops.  In 2000, when his training was complete, he set out as an independent sculptor.  Mixing other mediums with Murano glass, he looked to create a contemporary flare.

Over four generations, the Mandruzzato family has created a particular style unique to them.  The cold craving of Murano crystal is a special technique consisting of 12 steps, involving cutting with manual machinery such as diamond wheels.  This process is repeated over and over until the desired shape is achieved.  Each piece will have been worked on for over 26 hours, resulting in, no two pieces being the same.

A testament to his work, household names, such as Armani, Fendi, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf & Goodman, Harrod’s, Nissan Motors, and Ajmal Dubai Perfums have all commissioned pieces.
