Born on the island of Murano in 1953, Stefano Marcato studied and graduated from college in restoration architecture in Venice. His professional activity has since been divided between the restoration of the Venetian urban pattern, which included historic buildings, with a particular care for the conservation of the heritage of the city, and creative glass design thanks to his collaboration with the glassworks of Effetre group, where he worked with internationally renowned glassmakers, acquiring knowledge and experience in the field. From 1980, regarding the branch of lighting, he has been connected with Paf, which later became Italiana Luce and is now Nemo. For some years, he has been collaborating with NasonMoretti, for which he designs collections of glasses, objects and decorative lamps, following the traditions of the ancient techniques used to shape glass, combined with the evolution of a modern style.
