Flavio Poli (1900–1984) was an Italian artist, known for his designs in glass.[1][2]
Born in 1900, he was trained at the Istituto d'Arte di Venezia, then began work as a ceramicist.[2]
In 1929, he began working for the company "I.V.A.M." (Industrie Vetraie Artistiche Murano) as a designer of glassware.[2] He was appointed artistic director of Barovier, Seguso & Ferro (later Seguso Vetri d’Arte) in 1934, where he devised a style of 'submerged' glass, with several transparent layers, one over the other.[3] Within three years, he was a partner in the company.[2] Poli received one of the inaugural Compasso d'Oro awards in 1954 for the Seguso “Mod. 9822” blue-ruby glass vase.[4] He left Seguso in 1963.[5]
From 1964 to 1966 he led the artistic glass division of the Società Veneziana di Conterie e Cristallerie.[2]
Poli died in 1984.[2] A number of his works are in the Murano Glass Museum, as well as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London;[6] the National Gallery of Victoria, Australia;[7] the Corning Museum of Glass,[8] and the Metropolitan Museum and Museum of Modern Art in New York.[9][10]
