For nearly 30 years, Simone Cenedese has been at the helm of the family-owned glassworks founded by his father on the Murano Island in the 1970s. Since its inception by Giovanni Cenedese, the place has become a reference in contemporary glass. Every creation that was crafted there bears the “Vetro Artistico di Murano” label, a distinction that guarantees the quality and authenticity of this precious and highly sought-after material.

As an heir to the family’s craftsmanship acquired in the same workshop, Simone Cenedese masters every breath and gesture to create shapes and colors that are his secret. Collaborating with prominent designers and architects of his time, he is capable of employing his talent in the service of eclectic styles, ranging from classic Murano chandeliers to the most modernist bespoke creations, always with meticulous attention to detail and a high standard of quality.

As a result, he is now part of a generation of artisans who blend ancestral craftsmanship with cutting-edge technologies to create works that are both technical and poetic.

For several years, Maison Rapin has been collaborating with Simone Cenedese to create exclusive models, playing with finishes and the master glassblower’s extraordinary palette of colors, thus offering works at the intersection of collector’s lighting and art objects.
