Play of lights and precious patterns, the refined technique of glass masters and a kaleidoscopic color palette: Venini is all of this, a story of excellence transmitted since the 1920s and continues to look to the future. The Venini universe is design and decoration (expressions that the brand collects in the Art Glass line) and in the same way lighting – an offer that lives in the Art Light line. In common, the artistic and creative flair that takes shape through the skillful processing of Murano glass, transformed into a collectible object. It is not by chance that many Venini creations have become part of the permanent collections of museums such as the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Gallerie dell’Accademia in Venice, just to name a few. Table lamps, floor lamps, pendant lamps, up to installations with scenic suggestions: from the Venini furnace comes to life an ecosystem of lighting products that relate the raw material, light, and color. For harmony of sensory effects.

Stelle Filanti by Venini, design Atelier Oï
The pendant lamps of the Art Light line range between geometric shapes and original silhouettes. The Rotondo lines signed by Peter Marino, made of blown glass with a structure in glossy black nickel are representative and the technique of the “Fasce”, where the master glazier pours hot colored ribbons amalgamating them, which wrap the geometric volumes of crystal glass; the Stelle Filanti chandelier, characterized by the rigorous geometries that from the glass diffuser continue in the leather structure, according to the project of the Atelier Oï studio; and finally, the Abaco collection by Monica Guggisberg and Philip Baldwin, where the spherical element is predominant, enhanced by the mixed glass processing technique, which combines multiple processes to give greater personality to the work, enriching it.
The floor and table lamps are also highly decorative, which complete the interior atmospheres with a sought-after and artistic soul. So the Totem floor lamp – a design by Peter Marino – which condenses the evocative power of tribal decorations recreated on glass elements with organic shapes and supported by a base in Zimbabwe black marble. Balloton Luce, Deco Luce, and Fantasmino are instead the table collections in balance between aesthetics and functionality.

Characterized by a relief crossed effect are the lamps of the Balloton collection, which take their name from the technique used to make them; however, they combine modern innovation to tradition thanks to the dimmable LED technology, through touch, which creates different levels of atmosphere. On the same wavelength, the balance of the past and contemporaneity, Deco Luce is positioned: from the design of the iconic Deco vase designed in 1930 by Napoleone Martinuzzi, the homonymous rechargeable battery table lamp is born.
The same happens for Fantasmino, whose iconic silhouette comes from an exclusive archive prototype, at the same time recalling the iconic Fazzoletto vase by Venini, designed in 1948 but now re-proposed with an unpublished twist thanks to the renewed functionality and portable destination of use.

Poliedri by Venini, design Carlo Scarpa
Through its unique creations, the brand has been able to assert itself internationally in the private and contract sector, but also by giving life to high-impact projects such as the installation presented at Downtown Design Dubai, the “Poliedri” cascade chandelier, a reproduction of Carlo Scarpa‘s project for the 1961 International Exhibition “Italy ’61”, an architecture of light, composed of various blown.
