stile_manifattura — Corridonia · Marche
Corridonia, in the hills of Macerata: here, since 1950, a glassmaking workshop has carried forward the art of hand-worked glass. Three generations of master craftsmen, one workshop, and the certainty that certain knowledge cannot be passed down in writing.
In the Marche of craftsmanship, where every trade carries the weight of a lineage, Vetreria Gorbini has safeguarded, since 1950, a knowledge passed from hand to hand across three generations. Not a formula, but a gesture: that of the master glassmaker who knows the material before cutting it.
The workshop on viale dell'Industria in Corridonia is where the project takes shape. Here, cutting is no mechanical operation: it is a craftsman's decision, made on every sheet with the same care that seventy-five years of work have refined and made recognisable.
Glass in the light reveals everything the hand has done or overlooked. From working the material to final assembly, every stage of the process is carried out with the same care: that of one who knows glass forgives no carelessness, and that a made-to-measure piece always bears the mark of its maker.
Seventy-five years in the trade, one address in the Marche, every project made to measure. The page tells the rest.
