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, incalmo and sommerso 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.
