Description
Venini’s Icone collection offers a range of timeless glass pieces, where the elegance of design meets the craftsmanship of the Fornace. Each piece is a precious gift, crafted using techniques such as blown glass, balloton and free-hand processes, reflecting the evocative atmosphere of Murano's glassmaking tradition.
With a century of history, Venini draws inspiration from venetian traditions of the 13th century. In 1921, milanese lawyer Paolo Venini and venetian antiquarian Giacomo Cappellin founded “Vetri Soffiati Cappellin Venini & C.”. The Fornace became a hub of craftsmanship, art and design, producing exceptional glass creations.
Fulvio Bianconi & Paolo Venini
Fulvio Bianconi moved to Milan and works as a graphic designer and illustrator. In 1946, he went to Murano to study glassmaking. His work is marked by research and experimentation with new glassmaking techniques. His glass pieces reflect both the tradition of Murano and a modern style.
In 1921, milanese lawyer Paolo Venini, from a family of glassmakers, founded Venini with antique dealer Giacomo Cappellin. Their focus was to transform traditional glassmaking into innovative art, soon dominating exhibitions at the Milan Triennale, Venice Biennale and across Europe and the U.S.
