Venini

Since 1921, Venini has transformed precious silica sand into molten glass, which is then blown and crafted by hand, reflecting the perfect balance between traditional techniques and contemporary art and design. Precious “Made in Murano” creations that stem from centuries of skill and knowledge.

The House of Venini

Venini was founded in 1921 on the island of Murano by Paolo Venini, a lawyer from Milan, and Giacomo Cappellin, a Venetian antiques dealer. Their idea was to bring modern design into a glassmaking tradition that reaches back to the Middle Ages, and from the beginning the house invited architects and artists to work alongside its glass masters at the furnace.

That collaboration produced the murrine and sommerso pieces of Carlo Scarpa, artistic director from the early 1930s to the late 1940s, and the Fazzoletto, the handkerchief vase created by Fulvio Bianconi and Paolo Venini in the late 1940s. Techniques such as murrine, incalmo and filigrana are still practised by hand, and the house continues to work with designers such as Ron Arad and Peter Marino.
