Archimede Seguso (1909-1999) was a renowned Italian glassmaker and designer, known for his extraordinary glass works. Born in Murano, Venice, Seguso came from a family with a long tradition of glassmaking on the island of Murano, famous for its glassmaking tradition.
Archimede Seguso contributed significantly to the revival of Murano glass art in the 20th century. Throughout his career, he has experimented with various techniques and styles, producing a wide range of artistic creations, from traditional glassware to innovative, modern pieces.
