One of VENINI’s masterpieces, the Veronese vase designed in the 1920s by Vittorio Zecchin, inspired by a canvas by the Renaissance artist who gave it his name, becomes a work of art merging culture and traditions. Thanks to the Kintsugi technique – that is, the ancient method of restoration using gold to repair broken objects, usually pottery – the collection has been enriched with unique, new flashes of light. The breakage lines are not only left in sight, but are even highlighted by the gold dust, creating a new pattern and transforming the object’s appearance. The philosophy behind Kintsugi is very deep and extends well beyond that of a simple artistic practice: its symbolism speaks to us of healing and resilience, giving life to a unique and luxurious object.
Designer
Vittorio Zecchin attended the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice and subsequently presented a series of glass objects made at the Barovier glass factory with painter Teodoro Wolf Ferrari at the 1914 Biennale.
During the First World War, he set up a tapestry workshop in a former convent in Murano. In those same years, he exhibited his works – artistic glasses, tapestries, embroideries, and paintings, at the Biennale exhibitions in Venice, Milan, Rome, Monza, Turin, and Paris. He also taught the subject of glass and glassmaking at the Abate Zanetti school in Murano.
From 1921 to 1925, he worked as artistic director of the company Vetri Soffiati Muranesi Cappellin Venini & C.” and became one of the main exponents and most important innovators in the art of Murano glassmaking.
