Description

Of the Giberto’s collections, the Manilo is the one with the most serious colors and more accentuated contrast: “I thought it would be perfect in black and white as it is dedicated to a dear friend of mine, who is a big fan of the Juventus soccer team. I knew that having a glass with his favourite football team’s colors would have made him happy”. The Manilo is  a large glass, slightly flared, hand blown in opaque black Murano glass and finished with a glass paste white rim, which is heat sealed. Because of its dimensions, it’s ideal for cocktails, a beer or any sort of soft drink. It can also be used as a fun toothbrush holder or nightstand water glass.

The Designer

The life of Giberto Arrivabene Valenti Gonzaga is viscerally linked to Venice. His childhood memories, the most beautiful, are those that have taken place in the rooms of Palazzo Papadopoli, between frescoes of Tiepolo and family affection. “In my earliest memories Venice had other colours. It was more obscure, dramatic, decayed and deeply romantic – simply beautiful. There wasn’t the same light like there is today – more dazzling perhaps, but less poetic.”

Craftmanship

Each piece derives from a watercolour sketch made by Giberto on tracing paper: “When I see something that inspires me, or an object that I like, I sketch and rework it – then move on to the realization of it.”

The glass, the main material in the collections, is worked exclusively in Murano. Each glass, each specific object, is blown by master glassmakers in the Venetian furnaces.

Giberto takes his watercolours to discuss with them and refine the project, check its feasibility, and to make eventual changes.
