Flavio Poli was born in 1900 in Chioggia and is known for being a great ceramist, designer and Italian painter. Poli is known as the “glass artist” for his contribution to the development of Murano glass, promoting a new style during the 1950s that came to be known as the “sommerso style”. In 1934 he began working as a glassmaker for the the Barovier, Seguso, & Ferro company in Murano (which later became Seguso Vetri d'Arte), of which he became a partner and artistic director. During these years of his career he designed together with Archimede Seguso, creating complex lighting installations in Murano glass. . In the post-war years he conceived the style of submerged glass, a technique created by superimposing several layers of glass with different consistencies of colors, thus introducing into the world of Murano glass with a strong thickness which is in stark contrast with the processes in vogue at the time, he thus accomplished a very important innovation for the time which allowed him to win the Compasso d'Oro award. less
