«Making things by hand is what I was born to do»
26 years and a childhood dream: to become an
inventor. At school, he had a passion for
physics and could not resist finding out how
the world around him works.
He grew and studied between Italy and the
United States, but wherever he lived, he always
felt like a craftsman and he understood that
creating with his hands was his true passion.
Murano glass is connected to ancient
knowledge, handed down through the
centuries. It has the appeal of fire and the
power to shape objects. And Roberto fell in
love with it. So he decided to commit himself
to this material, convinced that there could be
a new way to become a Master Glassmaker.
He respects the values of this craft and he
brings together passion, scientific training and
modernity. Today he is the youngest glass
master in Murano and, together with his team,
he produces handcrafted glass objects made
in his furnace, Wave Murano Glass.

Wave Murano Glass: digital craftsmanship in line with tradition
Roberto Beltrami does not have family ties in
the Murano tradition, but he managed to
acquire the skills of the great masters in a
short period of time. Like all Murano glass
blowers, he has a great deal of respect for
tradition and he is not a rebel, but he decided
to bring his concept of the craftsman from the
mainland.
Wave Murano Glass respects practices
which have been established over centuries,
but adding an extra tool to this tradition:
youth’s enthusiasm to try out new paths.
Roberto loves having his hands busy, but he
knows he is a child of the digital age. With this
awareness, he has introduced new processes
to an art that has been virtually changeless for
centuries. He knows that the value of young
people is having an open mind and a fresh
point of view. Armed with this belief, Roberto
has quickly become an innovator, as well as a
point of reference within the Murano
glassmaking tradition.

Centuries old techniques, modern processes
Roberto introduced significant new
developments such as new furnace designs
and some arsenic-free coloured glass, such
as opaline and ruby gold.
He holds the power of creation and it is for
this reason that he wants to improve on
things with the help of his co-workers.
He put what he had learned during his
studies in physics and chemistry in the
United States to good use. With a wealth of
theoretical knowledge that lives alongside his
passion for handwork, Roberto started
training from scratch thanks to his open and
curious outlook, knowing that new challenges
always bring opportunities.
Today, his concept of innovation goes hand
in hand with respect for tradition: it combines
technical skills and the ability to improve
production processes, updating the times
and methods. This makes him a modern
craftsman, an experimenter open to the
world, in line with the motivations and trends
of the new craftsmen of the digital age.

Wave Murano Glass Design In our world, thoughts, memories and dreams
have a shape as well, and they can become
glass objects made especially for you.
One-of-a-kind pieces where design and
craftsmanship are two sinuous lines that
come together. Roberto and his team often
work on original artistic projects, collections
and individual pieces, planned together with
the client, from design to creation.
Simple ideas, which become art, with new
and different styles every time. Because deep
down, creating means giving shape to
something which did not exist before.

The vase is first shaped by the glass master.
Then, playing with the “battuto” technique,
the layers of color inside the vase are brought
to surface with a geometric shaded texture.

and each spike is then pulled and

The goto (Venetian dialect word for cup) was the typical drinking cup
hand-blown by the glass master with his own artistic mind.
To keep hydrated, in front of the roaning 1000° C furnaces,
glass masters drank lots of water... and lots of wine!
