In the mid-1960s, Tapio designed his first objects for Venini. The fruitful collaboration resulted in objects that utilize Murano’s rich range of colors and the filigree technology. A long and flourishing collaboration had begun – one that sealed Tapio’s love for Italy and even more so for Venice. Venini had a profound effect on Tapio’s life and career as well as Tapio influenced the ways of working with glass in Murano.
