Hand-blown glass objects, crafted by hand in Bergamo
Damiano Ravasi has worked glass by hand since 1985; in his workshop he makes home objects, gift ideas and seasonal collections.
Since 1996
Soffio d'Arte creates handcrafted pieces in Bergamo.
40 years
Of workshop work, research and glassmaking.
One at a time
Every object is worked and finished by hand.
Technique, material and creativity
Every creation begins with glass and flame. Damiano shapes the material by hand, controlling forms, proportions and details without relying on mass production. Over forty years of experience let him work with precision, while his creative flair leads him to experiment continuously with new colours, combinations and solutions.
The result is not a standard object but a distinctive piece, with small differences that confirm its handcrafted origin.
Discover the collections
Glass objects designed to decorate, to give and to accompany the different moments of the year. Each category gathers creations made in the Bergamo workshop, available to buy online.
Creations that don't come from a mould
Transparencies, rich colours, reflections and different finishes give character to every object. Even when two pieces belong to the same collection, hand-working introduces variations in shape and shade. These are not flaws, but the signature of handmade work.

Bomboniere Live for weddings and events
Damiano and his wife Renata make glass favours right at the reception, in front of the guests. The work becomes part of the event and lets guests see how a glass tube takes shape through heat, breath and skilled hands.
The service is mainly designed for weddings, but it can also be arranged for first communions, confirmations, christenings, anniversaries and other events. Design, colours, quantity and format are agreed in advance based on the date, the venue and the number of guests.
Straight from the workshop
Buying from Soffio d'Arte means choosing an object designed and made by someone who has known glass all his life. Every stage is handled directly by Damiano: from choosing the material to working it, through to the final finishing.
Technique ensures precision and control. Creativity lets shapes and colours evolve, giving rise to collections, one-off pieces and collaborations with designers and professionals.
- Handmade in the Bergamo workshop.
- Lampworking and techniques selected to suit each collection.
- Over forty years of experience.
- Ongoing research into shapes, colours and finishes.
