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
Mimmo Rotella
Mimmo Rotella (1918-2006) was one of the most important Italian artists of the second half of the twentieth century. The works for which he is most famous are his characteristic décollage, created starting from 1953: derivation of the collage technique invented by the Cubists, this new artistic form saw Rotella take fragments of posters from the streets of Rome, then re-glued and reworked in the studio with the addition of pictorial elements. Many posters were film posters, featuring great film stars, an element that brings him closer to the current of Pop Art by Andy Warhol, whom he personally met during a period of stay in the United States. Another movement he joined was that of the French Nouveau Réalisme, the attendance of whose exponents led him to move to Paris in the 1960s. His fruitful artistic production is not limited to the famous décollage: over the course of his long career he has given life to various experiments which in many cases maintain a strong link with pop culture, from the Artypos (print proofs of posters applied on canvas) to the Blanks (advertising posters covered with monochrome sheets). In 2003 he designed a suggestive lamp-sculpture for Venini.
