Meet the maker:
IVV
IVV (Industria Vetraria Valdarnese), a company whose Tuscan roots have provided its vital lymph, was established in 1952 by a group of master glassmakers. Through the years, IVV has made a name for itself as one of Europe's leading manufacturers of handmade blown glass, combining innovative research, design, traditional artisan techniques and strict process controls to create glass objects that provide a new sense of style to the home and table. Exceptionality highlights every object manufactured by IVV. Each IVV object is made by hand. The master glassmaker by moulding the object gives it its character, infusing the form with a lightness and energy that only artisan passion can achieve. The difference catches the eye, small details create a peculiarity, a distinctive mark telling the unique personality of a piece. Through its 50 years of activity, artisan craftsmanship and rigorous yet extrovert design have come together to create an immediately recognizable style that leaves an inimitable mark on every object.
