The Tiraboson is an imaginary blown glass instrument realised by Davide Salvadore. This glass instrument contains a myriad of different glass making techniques & disciplines.
The sculptures created in this series are depicted by long necks and tooth shaped bodies. This unusual shape resembles a long-necked lute and evidence suggests that lutes date back to 3000 B.C. in Mesopotamia.

Davide Salvadore (Italy, 1953) comes from a family of glassmakers and works as a master glassmaker in the furnaces he built himself, combining lampworking and furnace techniques in an innovative way. His works, which immediately gained recognition, are collected and exhibited internationally. His eye for design and mastery of sophisticated Italian techniques make his works truly unique.
