Alessandro Pianon was an Italian designer known for his delightful glass sculptures of “Pulcini”, Italian
\nfor chicks. Born in Venice in 1931, Pianon, after his studies there, established himself in the world of mid\u0002century art with his unique glass-designs. For many years he was the artistic director at Seguso Vetri
\nd’Arte when he was commissioned to design a new company logo for Vetreria Vistosi. This collaboration
\nled to a close business relationship, and soon he began producing his Pulcini sculptures there. The series
\nincludes five bird sculptures in different shapes and colors. Spherical and angular, high and flattened ones,
\nin orange, turquoise or blue are existent. They all have in common that each of them is balancing on thin
\ncopper wire legs. It seems that Pianon let his imagination run wild when designing his Pulcini and it looks
\nlike he has been also inspired by the colorful underwater world. The round chick with its orange color
\nreminds of a fluffy plumage, in its shape it could also have been modeled after a puffer fish. The same goes
\nfor the blue chick, whose striped pattern is strongly reminiscent of a parrotfish. Pianon must had great fun
\ndesigning his “Pulcini” and this joyful designs captivate the viewer instantly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
