Guilio Radi & Aldo Nason
As founding partner and Artistic Director of A.V.E.M., Guilio Radi experimented with thickly layered glass, murrines and metallic inclusions which led to the celebrated Reazione Polichroma series. After his untimely death in 1952, partner Aldo Nason continued and expanded on these techniques, culminating in the Yokahama series of the 1960s.
