Venini is a name that immediately evokes the excellence and refinement of Murano glass. This historic Venetian glass factory, founded in 1921 by Paolo Venini and Antonio Ferro, revolutionized the world of glass art, bringing Murano craftsmanship to the highest levels of artistic expression.

A union between tradition and innovation Venini has been able to combine the thousand-year-old glassmaking tradition of Murano with an innovative and experimental approach. The collaboration with internationally renowned artists, such as Paolo Venini, Fulvio Bianconi, Tobia Scarpa and Gio Ponti, gave life to unique and iconic works, which defined the canons of 20th century design.

The colors used by Venini are intense and vibrant, obtained through the use of fine pigments and sophisticated coloring techniques.
The forms of the works are often abstract and innovative, the result of continuous research towards new artistic expressions.
Venini has experimented and perfected numerous glass processing techniques, including blowing, murrina, filigree and lattimo.
In addition to glass, the production also uses other materials, such as gold, silver and crystal, to create works of great value.
Among the most iconic works created by Venini we remember: Veronese vase (designed by Paolo Venini in 1921), Crinoline (designed by Gio Ponti in 1932), Handkerchief (designed by Paolo Venini in 1933), Poliedri (designed by Carlo Scarpa in the 50). 
Today, Venini continues to be a point of reference in the world of artistic glass. The glass factory still produces unique and refined works, handmade by Murano glass masters, according to ancient traditions.
