design di Caludio Tiozzo
Jerseycanna is a project that makes purity and simplicity its strength: it has been completely realized with colored glass rods fixed vertically on a simple metal base. The “cannas”, each one cut and frosted by the hand of the maestro Caludio Tiozzo, are recompose to create the shape of the jersey, reinterpreting the hardness of the reinforced concrete through the use of glass, a fragile and transparent material, which gives lightness and vitality to the work. The vertical rods stand like an apparent, rarefied wall, which reflects and refracts light, at the same time representing the artist’s imagination and the tradition of the typical Murano glass workmanship: a contemporary reinterpretation of glass cannas. The dominant colors of the work are clear, crystalline, in order to accentuate the idea of lightness and transparency: words and concepts that have made the millennial tradition of Murano glass famous all over the world.

The company of Sergio Tiozzo has been working in the glass business since 1952. He developed in particular the Murano “Murrina”, which owes its beauty to a very complex process that requires many hours of work. Since 1990 the company has been managed by his son Claudio, who had been following his father’s footsteps for some years and has taken interest in developing the ancient processes of glass working. Tiozzo company produces vases, glass panels, plates, mirrors, lamps, beads, various jewels and many other objects all made of “murrino” glass. The technique used by Claudio is called “Fusing”, and is combined with the “grinding” or “beating” of the single part. However, Claudio remains very attentive to innovative techniques that can give to glass new effects and a renewed expressive capacity. Claudio Tiozzo has participated in numerous national and international projects and exhibitions, always contributing with something new. Thanks to his experience and ability he frequently and successfully collaborates with famous Italian and foreign designers and architects.
