# Molded Glass Artwork Carlo Moretti Creates Stunning Pieces for Milan Design Week By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-04-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carlo-moretti References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/design/venetian-glass-factory-carlo-moretti-milan-design-week-2014-04-01-2014/) & [carlomoretti](http://www.carlomoretti.com/) These [molded glass art pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-glass-bottles) by Carlo Moretti are formed through excessive heat, and designed in a Venetian Glass factory. The pieces from Carlo Moretti vary, with some looking more like distinct glass structures, while others take on a more art-oriented form. No two pieces look the same, and his oversized jar with a wrap-around red coloring on the lower base area is my personal favorite. The design would be great to use as a massive vase for flowers, or even filled with colorful stones to help boost the decor of a house. Moretti's glasses look like they would be difficult to drink from, so again, these pieces would best be suited to add that extra bit of pizzazz to a home interior.
