Published following the exhibition “Aqua e fogo” (Water and Fire), this book presents the glasswork produced in Murano by the architect and designer Jean-Michel Wilmotte.
Celebrating the unique expertise of Venetian glassblowers and glass artisans, the "Vessels" collection created by Wilmotte is a clever blend of tradition and modernity. The works, inspired by the flasks and stills from his pharmacist father's laboratory, are created in the historic workshops of Murano, an island in the Venetian lagoon known worldwide for the excellence of its master glassmakers.
Featuring over 150 illustrations, this book brings together Luigi 'Gigi' Ferrigno's historical images taken in Murano in the 1950s and 1960s, alongside previously unpublished photographs by Alessandra Chemollo and slowphoto.studio, which initiate a fruitful dialogue between the eternal Venice and Wilmotte's creations, in compositions that play with light and reflections. Each photograph invites you to wander and discover Venice and Murano, blending architecture and craftsmanship in a quest for beauty and harmony.
