Federico de Majo is the founder and designer of Zafferano. Born and raised in Venice, Italy, he spent many of his formative years on the fiery factory floor of his family’s glass-blowing business, Vetreria De Majo. It is in the studio of Vetreria De Majo where he first learned the historical techniques of glass blowing, and later began developing a personal body of work. Federico currently lives and works in the lush countryside of Treviso, while his soul is securely anchored to the island of Murano.
