Vetreria Vistosi

The origins of Vetreria Vistosi srl stretch far back into the waters of the Venetian lagoon. In 1585 Vincenzo Gazzabin appeared for the first time in the registers of the Murano glass art. In 1690 the name “Vistosi” appeared shortly afterwards as the nickname of an heir to the Gazzabin glassworks. At the end of World War II, the company began to focus on the production of lighting products with Gino and Luciano Vistosi. That was a story of passion and insatiable search for the new, which led Vistosi to start important collaborations. Since 2002 research and production have been improved to bring Vistosi products to foreign markets.

Water jet cutting, used in the processing of flat glass, was used in mouth-blown items. The typical Murano membrane processing was applied to lighting. Poc was released. The silvering of the mirror surfaces was used in the threedimensional forms. Hot spinning was applied to an entire product. Giogali 3D, a revision of the hook in threedimensional form, was released and Diadema, whose rods are made with a patented, not replicable technique, was released. Assiba was born from the finest decorations the “fililgrana a reticello”, the art of decorating with the cold worked blown glass. With the shimmering chrome plating, Cloth provides a double effect: from a metallic lamp when it is off, to delicate honey reflections when it is on.

LED lights are, now more than ever, the top lighting solution. They combine an energy saving of the 85% and an impressive durability (around 25 years), all in one product. In 2011 Vistosi was one of the first companies to implement this innovative resource creating the LED version of Vega, in 2011. In 2019 Sata wins the German Design Award and IF Design Award. Riflesso wins the Archiproduct Design Award. The Vistosi trademark is registered in China. Thirty years of Vistosi’s acquisition of the Moretti family. New UL, ETL and CB Test certifications of nearly all the products in the catalog in 2020.

Made in Italy represents the very soul of the company and its success, which cannot prescind from the territory, i.e. from Venice. In the hinterland of the Laguna, the new administrative premises of the company reflect the fine lines and the quality of materials which characterize the Vistosi brand. This is the place where industrial strategies and creative design meet.

The prestige that today the whole world recognizes to Venetian glass is first of all thanks to the people: the master glassmakers, custodians of local craftsmanship, are still the beating heart of the company. Similarly the furnace, the place of glass par excellence, has remained at the centre of the contemporary production process.

The internal workshops allow taking care of the whole production process: from prototypes to quality control and wiring, always checking and certifying that each item works properly. The presence of this department among the company‘s assets allows a more flexible experimentation and creation of custom-made structures, such as the large suspension products like Giogali.

Vistosi proposes next to icon collections, its best sellers and new articles in a new light that makes you feel and fall in love. Craftsmanship, sophisticated design and technical upgrades make these lamps a luxury and decorative item, thanks to a rare craftsmanship, and at the same time a functional object. Vistosi updates its image and does so with the awareness that being a trend-setter requires continuous evolution, while maintaining the distinctive qualities that make up the value and identity of the brand.
