Born in Murano, the son of the glassmaster Antonio Seguso, he began work at a very early age in the Vetreria Artistica Barovier where his father was a partner. In 1933, he was one of the founding partners of the Artistica Vetreria e Soffieria Barovier Seguso & Ferro, later the. Where he worked as the maestro of the principal team, crafting the pieces designed by Flavio Poli, and later his own pieces inspired by the Novecento style. Where he was first maestro and creator of almost all the works produced there. During the Sixties and Seventies, he created intensely colored glass works such as the colori sovrapposti and the fasce sovrapposte, and further pushed the filigrana technique with his Spinati, and a Petali glass pieces; more recently, he based his production on strong chromatic contrast. Among his last works is the series of sculptures called Rotture, conceived as original works and made in solid massiccio sommerso glass, a concretization of the profound reflections of this artist, who died 1999 on the island of Murano.
