Timo Sarpaneva
Timo Sarpaneva, a 'Liber Mundi' sculpture signed Timo Sarpaneva 2000 Studio Pino Signoretto, Murano.
Brown toned and clear glass. Height 34,5 cm. Total width c. 40 cm.
In the 'Liber Mundi' collection, Sarpaneva used three concepts in the smoke patterns of the works. He called them square smoke, U-smoke and O-smoke. These names describe the shape of the smoke patterns in the finished work. The smoke was created by heating tin chloride with hot glass. The glass post was swirled in the resulting smoke, which adhered to the surface of the molten glass. The process was repeated as many times as desired. The production of Liber Mundi was time-consuming and laborious. The studio made only one large work per day.

More information
The renowned Finnish designer Timo Sarpaneva created glass art during the later part of his career at master glassmaker Pino Signoretto’s studio on Murano. Their collaboration began in the mid-1990s, after Sarpaneva had seen Signoretto’s work and became interested in the possibilities it offered for realizing new ideas.
The resulting pieces are art glass: a combination of Sarpaneva’s design language and Signoretto’s highly demanding craftsmanship. The objects are clearly marked with Timo Sarpaneva and Studio Pino Signoretto – Murano, which confirms their origin.
