Who is Carlo Moretti and why is his contemporary Italian design still in style now

Carlo Moretti, founded in 1958 in Murano, Venice by Carlo Moretti and his brother Giovanni Moretti, quickly gained recognition for its clean, innovative, and contemporary approach to mouth-blown Italian glass.

Carlo, a lover of travel, music, and art, became the visionary behind the unique designs of their creations. Meanwhile, Giovanni excelled in handling the company's marketing and image. Together, they successfully provided an avant-garde aesthetic that appealed to collectors worldwide.

Today, Carlo Moretti glassware can be found not only in antique markets and vintage shops around the globe but also through new productions available on their website.

The esteemed reputation of Carlo Moretti's glassware is reflected in its presence in over 20 museums worldwide. These include renowned institutions such as The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague, and the Museo del Vetro on Murano Island in Venice.
