Maria Cristina Andretto fell in love with Murano glass at first sight, training in Murano in the 1980s and launching her artistic career in 1985. In 1999, she founded D.I. PIU' Andretto Design to push the boundaries of Murano glass craftsmanship, creating refined and elegant pieces. She sees her works as her "children," approaching each creation with the dedication of a musician, the passion of an artist, and the intuition of an architect, always embracing new challenges.

About the artwork

Il Vortice


Sculptures. Black and white Murano glass, mosaic technique.

Hand selected by our curators


Il Vortice is crafted from white and black Murano glass using the artistic mosaic technique. A symbol of contrast and harmony, it captures a powerful, frozen energy. The interplay of pure white and deep black evokes balance between light and shadow, chaos and order. Its opaque surface enhances the material strength of glass, creating a solid sculptural presence. Designed by Maria Cristina Andretto.
