99.81 Wall Light
Price starting from € 3.470,00*
*Price valid for the version in crystal colour talpa opal - golden metallic details - bulb excluded (cod. 9.81.02.02).
The 99.81 chandelier by Venini is designed by Gio Ponti and is emblematic of the underlying artistic program that guides all the work of this great master of Italian design, that is the recovery of the great Italian artisan tradition to bring it into modernity thanks to some aesthetic updates but without distorting it. With this project, Gio Ponti competes with a noble material such as Murano glass, taking up typical forms of the eighteenth century but lightening and streamlining them. The sinuous sign of the arms is elegantly linked to a rounded body, decorated in some versions with the addition of gold leaf, but the real protagonist of this project is the colour, lively and explosive in all its variants, capable of capturing the splendor and joie de vivre which are a great legacy of the Venetian tradition.

Venini is probably the most famous Murano glassmaker of the world: a result reached not even in a century of life, thanks to the idea of introducing in the blown glass world the collaborations with the artistic avant-garde and the design. It was a real revolution: in contrast with the stylistic exuberance that was characterizing the classic Venetian production, Venini's creations had presented themselves with sober and rigorous lines, lending them also to the development of new and surprising manufacturing techniques. Venini's vases are nowadays style icons, precious such as jewels, handed down from generation to generation, in a range of prices that makes them accessible to everybody. The Venini lamps and chandeliers, true architectures of light with a strong authorial signature, are really appreciated.Read more
Designed by
Gio Ponti
Gio Ponti (1891-1979) is considered the great “noble father” of Italian design. Milanese since his birth, one of the greatest architects of the twentieth century, he has conceptualized for his whole life a peculiar Italian way to modernity, in which the rich artisan and decorative tradition was not overcome, but enhanced and integrated at best with the most recent trends. Among his most famous works, the Pirelli skyscraper in Milan, a technical prodigy and at the time the tallest building in Italy, and Palazzo Montecatini. His theoretical and popularizing activity was very intense: in 1928 he founded the magazine Domus, which he directed for a long time for several periods, until almost his death, and which still remains the focal point of the debate on Italian architecture. It was also his idea to establish the Compasso d'Oro, in collaboration with la Rinascente, and he was one of the promoters of the birth of ADI, the Association for Industrial Design. His practical activity as a designer was also intense and full of successes: in the 1920s he was artistic director of Richard Ginori, helping to renew the world of ceramics, and then in 1932 he founded the FontanaArte company, with which he dedicated himself to the sector of lighting. In the postwar period he collaborated with Cassina, Venini, Ideal Standard and many other companies. Since 2012, Molteni & C. collaborates with the heirs of the Maestro to re-propose many of his most famous furnishings in a dedicated collection of great philological precision.Read more
