Italian Manufacturing Districts

It is a wave of beauty reaching the whole world from the Venetian Lagoon. It is no coincidence that Roberto Beltrami, who was not born in Murano, got hit by this wave and had to ride it, drawing the name “Wave Murano Glass” from it and settling on the Glass Island to bring his innovative ideas into such a deeply-rooted tradition. The wonderful blown Murano glass vases by Roberto Beltrami, selected by Design Italy, are the quintessence of Vetro Artistico®, the certification guaranteeing the quality of the products made on the island.

Just say silk and it immediately reminds us of light foulards caressing the skin, such as those selected by Design Italy. Many varieties of silk fabrics, from the manufacturing district of Como, have made Italy famous worldwide since the 18th Century: taffeta, organza, chiffon, damask, brocade and duchesse.
