New artistic takes on the past
Great artisanal knowledge and prolific inventors of new shapes: this is the magic formula for breaking design rules and pushing the boundaries.
HAPPY PILLS
The chemistry of hormones influenced by the chemistry of materials. Happy Pills are placebos from Murano to replace drug treatment with new shapes and colours.

PORT
More often than not, strolling around Venice’s canals you can see floating buoys or boat lights. Jay Osgerby and Edward Barber captured them on glass.
PORT BLACK
More often than not, strolling around Venice’s canals you can see floating buoys or boat lights. Jay Osgerby and Edward Barber captured them on glass.
RAVENNA
The capital city of the Western Roman Empire for centuries, Ravenna is known as the city of mosaics. VENINI celebrates it with a unique work of art.
MURANA
Its mask face, name and matter speak of Venice. This vase by Fabio Novembre conveys the humanity, charm and elegance of this city, as well as its soul of glass.
QUATTRO STAGIONI
Three hundred and sixty-five days, twelve months, four seasons. All condensed into a collection that speaks of life, with its circularity and colours and a tree nestled in the centre.
NINFEA
It recalls a water lily just picked from its pond. A colourful dragonfly could rest on it anytime.
BOLLE
Landscapes shaped from glass and color. Top to bottom. Tapio Wirkkala’s works turn air into matter, colour into faraway lands.
COCCIO
Its appearance speaks of bygone days, recalling an ancient artifact that once adorned stately residences from the past. Assembled and reassembled in all its pieces by fire in the Fornace (Kiln).
RE REGINA PRINCIPE
Once upon a time there were three Royals in the Fornace (Kiln). With their regal bearing and glass garments, they traveled around the world. Designed by Rodolfo Dordoni.
PALPITO
A breath, then another. A movement, then another. A puff, then a beat. This thick glass has a soul that dances in the light.
BATTUTI/CANOE
OCCHI
How many eyes can lay on the surface of a vase? Endless admiring, loving and surprised eyes. Tobia Scarpa offers a new perspective, and turns it upside down.
MURRINE ROMANE
The splendor of Ancient Rome – of its myths, culture and art – comes to life in these beautiful and timeless creations.
TESSUTI BATTUTI
Different colours and a multitude of lines, neat and orderly. They come together then diverge, alternating and following the curved profiles of the thinnest shapes ever created by Carlo Scarpa.
BATTUTI
They stretch and extend, creating unique shapes with wavy edges. Inviting us to look inside. Colours and sheer glass diverge and meet, leaving their subtle mark.
SOMMERSI FOGLIA ORO
It’s the 1930s: a fabulous party is going on here, with beautiful and stylish ladies accompanied by classy gentlemen. They dance to the rhythm of jazz music, their skirts swaying sinuously with their every move. Sommersi Foglia Oro make their debut on the 1930s scene.
PIATTO DI TAPIO
Look! Beyond the boundaries of classicism there is an inner whirlpool of fast flowing water and ice that captures and holds the viewer’s attention.
DAMA
She moves with grace around the Fornace (Kiln), as the glassblowers play with her colours, choosing their moves carefully. Nonetheless, she always wins the game.
SOFT
It is a common belief that glass is a hard material, because this is how it manifests itself once it cools down. However, before it crystallises it is soft and ductile in the hands of the master glassblowers.
KUKINTO
Swaying like a dancer’s skirt. Like the corolla of wild flowers blowing in the wind. The Kukinto vase amazes with its spontaneity and lightness.
RITAGLI
Somebody found it amusing to cut tiny little pieces of glass like paper cutouts. He created shapes resembling desert plants, new forms of futuristic architecture. His name is Fulvio Bianconi.
TORCIA
Gusts of wind and whirls of fire: is there a better way to describe the Fornace (Kiln)? Torcia by VENINI captures it on glass in the form of a vase.
I TRASPARENTI di ZECCHIN
A tribute to the art and innovation of Vittorio Zecchin and a celebration of his collaboration with VENINI.
