F&M Ballarin’s Filigrana collection takes its name from the technique used – one that’s been circulating around workshops in Murano for approximately 500 years. Different coloured glass rods are placed on a baking stone and heated until they all stick together (usually at around 700 degrees). Then, with a metal tube, they’re pulled and rolled until they form a cylinder. Several firings follow, ensuring the end result is able to be manipulated into place by hand with pliers and scissors.

Since childhood, brothers Francesco and Mario Ballarin dreamed of turning their love for glassmaking into a career – something that became a reality in 1956. Their early days saw them experiment with various techniques such as grinding and borosilicate processing, but it was filigree-rod blowing that really struck a chord and helped them to establish their signature style. Today, Mario’s son Angelo is at the helm, building on the passion project handed down by his elders. Each functional piece explores the many shapes and forms light can take while combining traditional techniques with modern-day innovations.
