Vanguard Glassworks is a studio based in Murano, Venice, specializing in hand-blown custom neon art installations and historical glass restorations. Established in 1991, the business operates from a single canal-side workshop with just three master glassblowers. The founders have consistently declined opportunities to franchise the brand or automate any part of the melting and blowing process, catering to around 150 luxury architectural projects annually.
