  The exhibition aims to represent the two faces of Austrian glass design: on the one hand, the newest concepts conceived by contemporary creative minds, and on the other, the traditional icons that are now a fertile ground for new representations of tradition. Exhibited in a location reminiscent of the atmosphere from an old Murano furnace, with a décor design by Sabina Bonfanti/Naanstudio, the creations will present a cross-section of contemporary Austrian glass art.
