Cleto Munari
DESIGNER - VENETO, ITALY

Cleto Munari was born in Gorizia on June 7th, 1930.
His career as a designer began in the 1970s, when his encounters with important figures in the world of architecture ignited his passion for art and design.
The Cleto Munari Company was established in the early 1970s, initially producing luxury items such as silverware, jewelry, and watches. Over the years, the company expanded its range to include glass, ceramics, furniture, carpets, and leather objects.
The company collaborated with renowned architects, designers, and artists, including Carlo Scarpa and Ettore Sottsass, to create its unique designs. The company's first Silver Collection was launched in 1982 and included designs by many famous artists.
The Cleto Munari Company also produced a Jewel Collection in 1985, a Watch Collection in 1987, and a Glass Collection in 1990. In 2004, the company collaborated with Nobel Prize winners for literature to create a limited edition Five Pens Collection.
The Veronese Glass Collection was established in 2002 to showcase the distinct interpretations of 10 renowned artists, including Cleto Munari, on the iconic Il Veronese glass vase - a masterpiece of Murano art. The esteemed group of creators involved in this project comprises R. Meier, M. Fucksas, A. Mendini, M. Thun, M. Paladino, P. Portoghesi, D. Palterer, M. Botta, B. Sipek, C. Nason, and Cleto Munari himself. The collection comprises only 49 limited and numbered pieces.

Design Story
Its history began in the late 13th century, when glassmakers from Venice were moved to the island of Murano. Officially, the relocation was meant to reduce fire risks from the furnaces, but it also helped protect the secrets of Venetian glassmaking, which quickly became some of Europe’s most valuable artistic techniques.
Over the centuries, Murano artisans developed methods that transformed glass into something almost sculptural. Techniques like filigree, latticino, sommerso, and gold leaf detailing gave Murano pieces their unmistakable richness and depth. Every object was shaped by hand, making no two pieces exactly alike.
Murano glass reached its peak during the Renaissance and Baroque eras, when it was collected by royal families and wealthy European households. Yet despite centuries of changing tastes, the essence of Murano craftsmanship remained remarkably consistent: patience, precision, and mastery of fire.
Today, Murano glass continues to occupy a unique place between decorative art and collectible design. Whether in the form of dramatic chandeliers, delicate vases, or contemporary sculptures, each piece carries the legacy of an artisan tradition that has survived for more than 700 years.
