This Murano desk organizer, designed by Flavio Poli in the 1950s, exemplifies the peak of Italian mid-century artistic glasswork. It is crafted from thick, faceted, multi-layered glass, with a deep, saturated ruby red at its core softly transitioning into transparent glass at the beveled edges. The precise, gem-like faceting exposes sharply defined geometric gradients and creates a striking interplay of light and volume. The highly polished, mirror-like surface magnifies its substantial weight and balanced massing, while the original 'Made in Murano Italy' sticker confirms its provenance and authenticity. The organizer is in excellent condition, with no visible signs of wear, scratches, damage, or repairs.This piece encapsulates the voice of 1950s Italian modernism: bold color and transparency merge to express not only function but also the era’s artistic experimentation in Murano workshops. Its sculptural solidity and sharply angular transitions speak of a quest for harmonic form, evoking the look of fine gemstone objects in everyday utility. As light moves across the faceted glass, it animates the surface with dancing reflections, lending vivid presence and a sense of silent dynamism.The organizer can be placed on a classic desk, console, or in a mid-century modern interior, where its geometric profile and intense red will stand out as a collector’s accent. It pairs well with minimalist metal or glass-based lamps, and with neutral surfaces that allow the glass’ color to take center stage. It may also be combined with low Murano vases or set against smooth
