Meet Davide Penso

Venetian-born Davide Penso, initially a photographer, was captivated by glass in 1992. Alongside creating beautiful glass jewellery and sculptures, using flame-worked techniques, Davide runs the Murano Glass Academy and lectures internationally, including such prestigious institutions as Corning Museum Studio in New York. His artwork is collected internationally, and he has collaborated with renowned brands including, Venini, Giorgio Vigna, Nason & Moretti and Pelikan.

Davide's Seaweed sculptures, inspired by his diving experiences, reflect his mastery of glassmaking. These delicate and tranquil pieces are liquid poetry frozen in time, mimicking the underwater movement of seaweed with Murano glass components set in wooden bases.
