PENTHAHOUSE PLAZA HOTEL
Project: Doge suspension and Vittoriale Chandelier
Art lighting
The Plaza Hotel in New York has chosen Venini's elegance to illuminate the Penthouse, designed by Gal Nauer and furnished by Giorgetti.
DOGE
The "Doge" collection, conceived by Napoleone Martinuzzi in 1927, is inspired by the "cesendello" or typical oil lamp of the Venetian Renaissance. The glassmaking technique used is called "rigadin," which involves obtaining countless parallel lines using a mold that impresses the surface.
VITTORIALE
Vittoriale is a chandelier designed by Napoleone Martinuzzi in the late 1920s, named after the Vittoriale degli Italiani, conceived by Gabriele D’Annunzio. Enriched with various decorative elements, it remains aligned with Venini's intention to revolutionize the Murano tradition since the twenties, despite its simplicity.
