Venini

Since 1921, premium Italian brand VENINI is based in Murano, the worldwide famous island where 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. Today VENINI is a constantly developing laboratory, a place where passion for glass and fascination of the Furnace are able to enchant and thrill everyone and where ideas and intuitions, coming from international designers, come true.

More than 90 years ago, in 1921, Paolo Venini, a Milanese lawyer, and Giacomo Cappellin, a Venetian antique dealer, founded Cappellin Venini & C. 
The painter Vittorio Zecchin was then artistic director and laid the basis on which the company is still founded today: reinterpretation of traditional schemes, openness towards new artistic trends and high manufacturing skills. He was able to reach all of this thanks to the glass masters of Murano island. 
At the end of 2001 the group Italian Luxury Industries, ran by the Italian entrepreneurs Gabriella and Giancarlo Chimento and Giuliano and Guglielmo Tabacchi, bought out VENINI, focusing on luxury and design in order to maintain the aim of Paolo Venini, started in 1921. 
The company still attends the most important design events all around the world launching new collections and limited editions designed by Giorgio Vigna, Alessandro Mendini, Sandro Chia and Mimmo Rotella.

A unique emotion arises when refined sand is mixed with precious minerals and when the Masters give life to drawings and cultural expressions, coming from creative minds. there is a Genius Loci inside VENINI and it highlights a different idea of glass and the way it is manufactured. This is an interesting alternative to the strengthened tradition, typical of Murano, that makes VENINI a clear example of uniqueness. Glassworks signed by VENINI are made precious and recognizable thanks to respect for materials and constantly developing research.
