Murrine Opache Centrepiece Large

Countless Black and Coral pieces are woven together to form a symmetric yet imperfect pattern on slanted surfaces. VENINI’s glass grinding technique creates a typical shading effect that enhances the exquisite beauty of murrine. Painstakingly created by hand using the "murrine" technique, this round centrepiece of blown glass is part of a numbered edition of a collection originally designed by Carlo Scarpa in 1940. The combination of colours creates a striking visual effect created by the graphic signs floating inside the gentle curves and flowing edges of the piece.

Monofiore Balloton Large Vase - <p>It looks soft, but it’s not; it’s glass. The optical illusion of Monofiori by VENINI from 1970 lies in its name: Balloton, a special technique that lends a unique matelassé effect to the surface. The piece is handcrafted using traditional metal molds and adorned with a hot-applied line in contrasting colours on the top of the narrow neck, for a finishing touch that makes a difference. </p>

Idria Vase Horizon

Rotondo Pendant Light - Bold shades of Black blend together with the hues of Crystal or Tea of the sphere. They enclose it, surrounding it with thin and thick lines, alternating in a seemingly random fashion, like belts or laces. A fine interplay of transparencies gives a warm and sensual glow to light passing through the glass. Rotondo is exclusively available as a pendant light.

Venini renews its partnership with architect Peter Marino and unveils three lamp models at Boutique Damiani, Place Vendôme, with a special launch event on January 19th, 2020. Light and materiality are paramount for all of Peter Marino’s projects and this new collection was conceived as a contrast between transparency and the weight of material. The result - ROTONDO, CILINDRO and PARALLELO - three geometric lamps of Murano hand shaped glass which also present as substantial sculptural volumes.
Realized using the same techniques as Peter Marino’s ‘Black Belt’ vases (debuted in 2017), ROTONDO, CILINDRO and PARALLELO are made up of several transparent layers of glass that enclose the now iconic black or tea-coloured bands within. When a luminous object is inserted, the intersection of the bands crisscrossing the glass creates a play of light and shadow, occupied and empty spaces. Venini’s complex Murano glass-making techniques have been handed down for centuries and incorporates the “a sbruffo” (puffed) and “sommerso” (submerged) processes. Created by pulling and laying the bands hot on top of the hand shaped glass, the unique linear patterns wrapping the three lamp models recalls the aesthetic language of the architect.
Named for their physical shape, the models ROTONDO, CILINDRO and PARALLELO are designed to hang at varying heights. ‘Parallelo’ assumes a modular value as the lamp’s opposite parallel sides allow for graphic compositions in space. This collection expands from the single Rotondo model, first presented in Milan at the Euroluce 2019 international lighting exhibition. | Arteficius

Monofiore Balloton Vase - The vase sheds its skin and changes its function: rather than holding many flowers, it now holds just one. In the meantime, the glass moves away from its rigid nature. The innovations introduced by Monofiori Balloton strike and deceive the eye. First in 1970 and then in 2016. | Arteficius
