Merletto

Technique: Famously developed by Archimede Seguso in the early 1950s. It consists of arranging a fine network of glass threads (filetti) over an initial mass that is then stretched, twisted, and covered with clear glass (sommerso).

Visual effect: It forms a pattern that looks like lace or a network of threads floating suspended in three dimensions within the glass.
