Lip was a company made in the 80s by the young Designer Marcello Furlan and the maestro Giuliano Tosi. Together they created several pieces that were in the vein of the Memphis group. I have known them well and they were like the odd couple of Murano. Giuliano, a great Murano Maestro, speaking Venetian dialect and Marcello, a young promising designer. They were a emblem of the 80s style and a very promising design firm and unfortunately the company did not change or adapt to the new styles of the coming decades. Now Lip creations are collector’s sought after glass pieces due to the rarity and the uniqueness.
