Venini

Alessandro Mendini, architect and designer, tells about the magic of glass made at Venini’s furnace. “The spirits of Venini’s unmistakable identity have always been imprinted upon my memory. When I work for this noble company, I always try to connect to the mystery of archetypes that led to such a precise style with such a long history, and I seek to interpret that. I believe that the Venini taste is the fruit of an enchanted mix, created over time, of a few exclusive techniques, a handful of exceptional artists who were inventors of forms, and a predilection for certain colors. This tradition and these boundaries are Venini’s magic formula. Its hortus conclusus (enclosed garden) is one of humanity’s wonders. It contains the calmness and skill of clear craftsmanship that has remained pure and intact throughout time, incorruptible by the violence of fashion, an example and proof of perfection.“

AUTENTICITY

Since 1921 VENINI is based in Murano, the worldwide famous island where, since 600 years, glass is manufactured. The company is one of the major realities concerning research in glass and it is considered a landmark in the world of art.
