EXPERIENCE
The family, who has owned and operated
the historic furnace on the island of Murano since 1397, now opens its doors to a
sophisticated audience to share the family’s
tradition in the art of glass making over the
past six centuries. The 23rd generation of
the Seguso legacy is honored to extend this
possibility to all who possess a love for art
glass and beauty. This unique and extraor-
dinary experience shares knowledge, secrets and passions, which are guaranteed
to emotionally move the audience to feel
the real soul of Murano. All visitors will
travel through time; a journey made of real
authentic flavors, colors and atmosphere
handed down from generation to generation. A specialized guide will conduct you
during all the visit.
A multi-sensory journey inside the
authentic Seguso glass works.
a journey into art, tradition and passion.
Gianluca and Pierpaolo Seguso’s inspiration for this magical visit comes from their
desire to raise the bar and deliver a fresh
and unique Experience to visitors and show
the true soul of Murano,as an alternative
way to really feel the Murano glass art and
passion difference from the more com-
mercial and touristic influences that exist
throughout the island.
You may choose to culminate your evening
with an aperitif or with a dinner, all served
with elegance and sophistication immersed
in the artistry and creativity of the setting.

I congratulate this extraordinary
initiative. The Seguso Experience
is a path between a physicist
and a historian of the Venetian
lagoon’s ancient furnaces;
this is a rare opportunity
that fuses art and design.

New York Times - October 19th, 2014
It was an inauspicious start to a journey that many a trusted tastemaker advised me not to take. At Seguso, among the oldest and most
revered names o n the island — going back 23 generations to 1397
— the trend is toward custom everything, including the tours available to visitors. Rather than marching crowds of tourists through its
operations, Seguso has created “Night in the Furnace” dinner events
and “Glass Experience” tours for six or fewer guests, to spend several
hours seeing every aspect of the glassmaking process and its long
history in the hands of Seguso maestros.
The current generation’s grandfather, Archimede Seguso, was a pioneer in revolutionizing the industry in the mid-20th century. The prolific family has had many ventures on the island, withstanding the
tides of taste and fortune.

Scissors and breath to create glass
Seguso opens the furnace at night
Because we wanted
visitors to feel the furnace,
to use all of their senses,
from the heat that flares
up the body, to the touch
of the material being created.
