Alessandro Mendini, architetto e designer, racconta così la magia del Vetro nella Fornace Venini. Alessandro Mendini, architect and designer, tells about the magic of glass made at Venini’s furnace. ella mia memoria, sono da sempre depositati i fantasmi della inconfondibile identità della Venini. Quando lavoro per questa nobile azienda cerco sempre di collegarmi al mistero degli archetipi che hanno condotto a un così preciso stile, lungo una così lunga storia, e cerco di provarne una interpretazione. Mi sembra che il gusto Venini sia frutto di un magico dosaggio creatosi nel tempo, fra alcune...

“Cappellin Venini & C.”: così il nome Venini compare per la prima volta a Murano. E’ il 1921 quando due personaggi straordinari entrano nel mondo delle vetrerie muranesi. Sono l’antiquario veneziano Giacomo Cappellin e Paolo VENINI, un avvocato milanese con una lontana tradizione familiare nella lavorazione del vetro. Sotto la direzione artistica del pittore Vittorio Zecchin, la Cappellin Venini & C. pone le basi di quell’identità stilistica che ancora oggi la contraddistingue: evasione dagli schemi tradizionali, apertura verso le avanguardie artistiche, padronanza delle tecniche di lavorazione,...

“Cappellin Venini & C.”: that’s the original starting name. We are in 1921 when two extraordinary persons enter the glass-factory world in Murano. They are the Venetian antiquarian (antiques dealer) Giacomo Cappelin and Paolo VENINI, a Milanese lawyer with an old family tradition in glass. Under the artistic direction of the painter Vittorio Zecchin, Cappellin Venini & C. lays the foundations of that “identity style” that still distinguish it: evade the traditional patterns, opening to the avan-garde art, mastery in techniques due to the best glass-masters of the island. In the following years,...

CLASSICI D’AUTORE THE CLASSICS Il lampadario a “bracci” è l’elemento d’arredo che più nel tempo ha avuto una forte connotazione storica. Il loro brillare, le loro trasparenze, le decorazioni hanno trovato nel vetro di Murano e nelle sue lavorazioni un partner insostituibile. VENINI fin dalla sua nascita non è stata immune da questo fascino. Dai primi disegni di Vittorio Zecchin, Napoleone Martinuzzi a Carlo Scarpa, per poi proseguire con Gio Ponti. Nulla di superfluo, nessuna decorazione effimera o sovrapposizione di paste in diversi colori. Solo il vetro e la luce. The classical chandelier with...
