Venini

Venini is an Italian glassmaking company based on the island of Murano near Venice, renowned for art glass and contemporary decorative glassware. The business was founded in 1921 by Paolo Venini with the aim of reviving Venetian glassmaking by combining traditional Murano techniques with modern design. In its early years and through the mid-20th century Venini developed a reputation for experimental forms and color schemes, often collaborating with designers and artists to create new aesthetics that helped popularize modern glass globally. The firm produced a wide range of pieces, including vases, bowls, lighting fixtures, and sculpture, notable for clear forms, vibrant color, and technical refinement.

Today, Venini continues to operate on Murano, maintaining a production studio and showroom. The company preserves its emphasis on craftsmanship and design innovation, drawing on long-standing glassmaking traditions while partnering with contemporary designers. Its works are held in major museums and private collections around the world, reflecting its role in the development of 20th-century and contemporary glass art.
