Great knowledge of materials dynamic and chemical and thermal reactions enabled Roberto Beltrami to find new solutions and also to improve ancient working techniques.

He did it for two classic methods of the Murano list called the Rubino Oro glass and the Opalino which were recently forbidden because of an excessive arsenic concentration. Studying and experimenting new options, Roberto Beltrami succeeded in finding a new formula which allows to create these arsenic-free glasses making them more “eco-friendly” without decreasing products artistic value. Traditional tools used to create Murano glass are also on the innovative trend generated by Roberto Beltrami technical knowledge.

This year at Salone del Mobile, Wave Murano Glass will present the Spike Collection, made up of enormous blown glass vases created through the fascinating technique of “rostrato”, enriched with chromatic and manual interventions. It is an ancient process that requires a particular speed of execution, concentration and precision. The hot glass is quickly worked with a special tool called “tagliol” (sculpting knife) which allows the creation of a series of square shapes along the entire surface of the vase. Subsequently, through small pincers, each shape is stretched to form a point that takes the name of a spike. The whole process must be carried out in a very short time due to the high glass temperatures reaching up to 1000 degrees.
