Description

Collezioni d'Autore from Venini presents a collection of timeless glassworks, created with an extreme attention to detail by the artisans of the Fornace. Every piece is a unique creation, crafted through techniques like blown glass, balloton and free-hand shaping, capturing the rich heritage 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.
