Carlo Moretti

Carlo Moretti is one of the eldest and most respected glass factories in Murano, Venice. I went to visit them in 1999 because we were about to open our Champagne and Oyster Bar (now renamed Aldo’s Bar), and we wanted something special. The Bora glasses are oval shaped and a little twisted, and when I saw them in 10 Corso Como in Milan I was flabbergasted. They were modern, minimalist and incredibly new. The Bora tumblers and many other glasses by Carlo Moretti became iconic of our bar and I have sold them in my store ever since.
