Venini
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

Napoleone Martinuzzi

Napoleone Martinuzzi
Napoleone Martinuzzi (1892–1977) was an Italian sculptor and designer active mainly in the Murano glass sector, best remembered for creating the revolutionary pulegoso glass. Born into a family of Venetian glassmakers, he studied sculpture in Rome, where he came into contact with the artistic ferment of the early twentieth century. He was one of Gabriele D’Annunzio’s preferred artists, personally chosen to create sculptures and glass decorations for the Vittoriale degli Italiani. This reputation led to his appointment as director of the Murano Glass Museum, a position he held from 1922 to 1931; around the same period he met Paolo Venini and began collaborating with him, becoming a partner and artistic director of Venini’s glassworks. During his collaboration with Venini, which lasted from 1925 to 1932, he steered the company’s production toward a style indebted to French Art Déco and the Italian “Novecento” movement. The invention of pulegoso glass dates to 1928 and arose from the insight of using, for expressive and decorative purposes, a feature that had traditionally been considered a flaw in glassmaking—namely the formation of small air bubbles during production, which makes the glass more porous and compact. He later partnered (from 1932 to 1936) with the glassmaker Vittorio Zecchin, after which he left the glass sector entirely to devote himself exclusively to sculpture.Read more
