Carlo Moretti

Like light captured in liquid form, every Carlo Moretti creation is a dialogue between air, fire, and time.

Founded in 1958 by brothers Carlo and Giovanni Moretti, Carlo Moretti has become a luminous emblem of Murano’s glassmaking tradition, described as a true “factory of originals.” From the very beginning, the brand has embodied a dialogue between innovation and heritage, creating unique, numbered, and signed pieces that reflect a recognizable style defined by clean, essential lines and continuous aesthetic research. Each object is the result of technical mastery combined with an instinct for experimentation, always balancing the rigor of form with the organic vitality of molten glass.

Over the decades, Carlo Moretti has expanded the language of glass through a constant exploration of shapes and materials. The rediscovery of Murano crystal in the 1970s marked a pivotal chapter, introducing an unprecedented purity and expressive clarity. Sculptural works such as Ottagonale and Ovale became icons of this renewed vision, affirming the company’s place within the global design dialogue. The process remains deeply artisanal: mouth-blown crystal, hand-finished with the heated application of colored canes, drops, and murrine, shaped by master glassmakers whose gestures carry centuries of knowledge.

Today, Carlo Moretti’s creations are housed in some of the world’s most prestigious museums, from MoMA in New York to the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, attesting to their status not only as objects of beauty but as cultural artifacts. This international recognition coexists with a strong sense of local responsibility. The company continues to honor the fragile ecosystem of the Venetian Lagoon through sustainable practices and an ethical approach to production, ensuring that the elegance of Murano glass resonates with the values of contemporaneity.
