About Antonio Zanetti

The story behind the founder and the name.

Mark Heijmans

Founder & Curator

"I believe exceptional craftsmanship deserves thoughtful representation."

With a background in international business development, strategic partnerships and market development, I have spent years working for leading global cybersecurity organisations and building long-term commercial relationships across international markets. Alongside my professional career, my fascination with contemporary glass continued to grow, together with an increasing appreciation for the craftsmanship, creativity and artists behind every piece.

The more I discovered this world, the stronger my ambition became: to make exceptional contemporary glass accessible to a wider audience while creating meaningful commercial opportunities for the artists and studios behind it. That conviction ultimately led to the founding of Antonio Zanetti.

Today, I personally curate an international network of exceptional contemporary glass artists, renowned studios and master glassmakers, connecting their work with architects, interior designers, galleries, collectors and hospitality projects throughout the Benelux. By combining global access with local market expertise, I help build long-term partnerships, identify new opportunities and guide collaborations from concept to completion, creating lasting value for both artists and clients.

Above all, I believe exceptional artists create their best work when they are free to focus on their craft. My ambition is to provide the commercial support, market access and long-term partnerships that allow artists and studios to remain focused on what they do best: creating exceptional contemporary glass.
