GIORGIO FERRO RED AND GREEN SOMMERSO GLASS TEARDROP VASEA very slender single stem teardrop shaped vase of ruby red glass encased in a clear layer of crystal with a greenish tint. Often confused for the work of Flavio Poli, this vase, produced using Poli's famous sommerso technique, was designed by Giorgio Ferro and produced in the 1960s at his father's glass factory, La Vetreria Artistica Galliano Ferro, where Giorgio was the head designer. VETRERIA ARTISTICA GALLIANO FERRO was founded in Murano in 1955

A very slender single stem teardrop shaped vase of ruby red glass encased in a clear layer of crystal with a greenish tint.  Often confused for the work of Flavio Poli, this vase, produced using Poli's famous sommerso technique, was designed by Giorgio Ferro and produced in the 1960s at his father's glass factory, La Vetreria Artistica Galliano Ferro, where Giorgio was the head designer. 

VETRERIA ARTISTICA GALLIANO FERRO was founded in Murano in 1955 after its founder, Galliano Ferro, left Arte Vetraria Muranese (AVeM), the company he had co-founded in 1932.  The aim of Galliano Ferro was to produce high-quality objects using techniques that were typical of Murano glass.  From the outset, Galliano’s son, Giorgio Ferro, was the creative force behind his father’s company.

Born on the island of Murano in 1931, Giorgio Ferro attended the Instituto d'Arte di Venezia, a prestigious high school for the arts where the teachers were artists themselves.  Initially he dedicated himself to painting, but after graduating from the Carmini State Institute of Art in Venice in 1951, he went to work  as a designer at the Arte Vetraria Muranese (AVeM) factory–which was founded by his grandfather Antonio Ferro, his father Galliano Ferro, and by Emilio Nason and Giulio Radi.   After the death of Giulio Radi in 1952, the young Giorgio took the role of lead designer of AVeM.  It is during this time that Giorgio first created his most significant work of the period, the very successful Ansa Volante vases, made of thick chromatic iridescent glass–a technique that he had learned from Radi, and designed with sinuous curves, small openings and large integrated handles pulled directly from the body of the vase to produce a remarkable sculptural effect.. These designs were exhibited in the 1952 Venice Biennale to great acclaim.

In 1955, after having worked together for 22 years, relationships between the partners of AVeM turned sour and Galliano Ferro left the firm to open an independent furnace, taking with him some of the best maestros as well as his own sons.  Giorgio immediately fell into place as the artistic director of the new furnace and began designing thin blown glass pieces as well as encased glass pieces using the sommerso technique.   The great harmony of form in the designs produced by Giorgio Ferro – rightly considered one of the greatest glass designers of twentieth-century Murano – would result in the company gradually focusing on the production of light fittings in which traditional methods were used to reinterpret form.  Venetian lamps of different eras were produced, from the Renaissance to Art Nouveau, and the work was all performed manually, and to great accuracy, by the most skilled glass masters of the sector, using the same instruments and ovens of the past.  A lot of the proposed chandeliers were designed and created by Giorgio Ferro, who was known for creating objects lightly blown in transparent faint colors.  Other collaborators included such masters as Ezio Rizzetto, Fulvio Bianconi and Vinicio Vianello.

Giorgio Ferro took over the reins of the family company in 1972, focusing production entirely on the creation of traditional chandeliers together with newer and more original ones, to become one of the greatest designers of chandeliers in Murano.  In 2001, Giorgio Ferro’s son Alvis took over as the artistic head of the company. The Vetreria Artistica Galliano Ferro is now led by Paola and Lisa Ferro

Sturdy and Easy to Move
Color: Black, Size: 132"- 6 Panel
This 6 ft black partition on wheels is exactly what I needed to divide space without sacrificing style or stability. It’s sleek, professional-looking, and blends in well with any environment—from office spaces to home studios. The build quality is impressive—very sturdy and doesn’t wobble at all once it’s in place. The wheels glide smoothly and lock securely, making it easy to reposition or keep stationary as needed. Assembly was quick and straightforward, with all parts clearly labeled. Overall, this partition is a perfect combination of functionality and design. Highly recommend it if you need a durable, mobile room divider that looks great and performs even better.

Nice once put together.
Color: Black, Size: 88"- 4 Panel
I really enjoyed these ones. They got put up, putting them together was a two-man task and not very easy at all. They work really good. They're very heavy duty. You can hang things on them. I kick mine out of the way and they work like a charm!

Good product, poor directions.
Color: Black, Size: B-88''W-4 Panel
The quality of the product was better than most at this price. The directions could have been much better even though I have an engineering background.

Nice partition for my basement
Color: Beige, Size: B-102''-3 Panel
This 3-panel room divider showed up well-packaged with all the parts and even a little tool for putting it together. The instructions were easy to follow, and while one person can definitely assemble it, having two makes it quicker and less frustrating. It does exactly what I needed—gives quick, easy coverage in an open area. I'm using it in my basement to hide the furnace and water heater, and it works great for that. It looks nice overall, but I picked the beige fabric (which is really more of a tan), and the black frame makes it stand out more than I’d like. A white or lighter frame would’ve blended better. Not sure that I would use it anywhere besides the basement It’s lightweight and pretty sturdy. The wheels make it easy to move, but it does get a bit wobbly, and the panel clips need to be readjusted every time you roll it somewhere new. Still, for the price, it’s a solid buy. I’m happy with it and planning to order another one.

Fantastic
Color: Beige, Size: A-132''W-6 Panel
I am perennially in the process of rearranging, reorganizing, getting ready for yard sales, changing the functions of various rooms, moving everything out of a room to do a deep clean, etc, which means that there is always SOME part of my house, if not the entire thing, that is a disaster zone. Having someone knock on my door triggers a "duck and cover" reflex because it's so embarrassing for anyone to see that I live like this. (I *feel* like I don't, really, because I know that all the various stages are all temporary, but when there's always something temporary going on, it might as well be permanent, you know?) So THANK HEAVENS for a room divider that is not only large enough to divide my uncomfortably long den in half the long way so I can shove all the messy parts up against the back wall -- that is not only simple and attractive and neutral and (this is important) NOT BLACK because I have multiple pets and anything black in this house will be pet-hair-colored within 20 seconds -- that not only has **SIX** panels for lots of options of how I want to divide the space/s -- but is also on WHEELS. Someone out there really does love me, it's true! The panels are stable *enough* - I'm not going to lie and say that nothing is going to knock them over, because I have some balance issues, and I also have cats, and both of those circumstances has resulted in a mess on at least one occasion. But in the cats' defense, they've never dealt with a room partition that didn't hang from the ceiling before; and in my defense, I just grabbed the first thing I could reach on the way down. Not the product's fault in either case. Assembly was a little dicey as I am currently in **bilateral** (oh yes, that's fun) wrist braces, so I had to give up until I had help. But I think if you're able-bodied, you shouldn't have any difficulty. The only down side is, now that I've hidden away all the mess so I can break out the holiday decorations, you know what happens next, right?? That's right... the PERMA-MESS ZONE. Oh no. Oh well.
