Fabiano Amadi belongs to a new generation of masters from Murano, the tiny Venetian island renowned for its glass history. He started studying glass blowing at the age of 14, and now he boasts many collaborations with fashion houses, including Missoni, Fendi, and Etro, as well as publications in magazines like Vogue Home and Elle Decor. His artistic flair is proved by his works with the renowned italian contemporary sculptors Luigi Benzoni and Gennaro Avallone. His designs are both classic and modern, but all are created using traditional techniques.

Famous designers and sculptors (including the Milanese architect Gennaro Avallone and Bergamo-born sculptor Luigi Benzoni), struck by Amadi’s creative talent, have established a profitable working partnership with him over the years. He also has ongoing relationships with some of Italy’s top designer names, for which he interprets each one’s aesthetic philosophy in glass.

Fabiano Amadi therefore boasts widespread public consensus and ever-greater exposure on the pages of specialist design and decoration magazines (Vogue, Vogue Casa, Elle Decor, Maison Francaise). His vases are heavy and thick, often in colourless crystalline glass and gold leaf or shiny black. The sizes and weights of these articles require significant physical prowess, given that to make them, Amadi only uses traditional work techniques and conventional instruments. His flair for experimentation and contemporary edge are most evident in his series of tribal and black vases.
