World-renowned glass artist, Jean Claude Novaro, has opened a manufacturing facility in Ras Al Khaimah.

Recognised as one of the greatest glass blowers of his generation, Novaro maintains a portfolio of top-tier clients that include Prince Albert II of Monaco, Sheikh Tariq Al Qassimi, Robert De Niro, Bill Cosby, Mike Tyson and Phillippe Monet. He has also earned a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest hand blown coupe ever made.

He has also signed an agreement to design an exclusive range of tiles for RAK Ceramics Luminous range.

“The inauguration of Jean Claude Novaro’s new workshop in Ras Al Khaimah underlines the strategic advantages of the emirate as an ideal business base for companies seeking to expand in the MENA region,” said Dr. Khater Massaad, CEO, RAK Ceramics.

“Novaro is acclaimed as the ‘King of Glass’, so his contributions will definitely add prestige and glamour to RAK Ceramics’ tile collections.”
