Venini
Veliero Floor Lamp
Price € 16,040.00
Venini and Tadao Ando collaborate to create a one-of-a-kind floor lamp. Veliero is composed of six different modules, in which a square motif is repeated to form a layered composition of volumes. The result is a new form—a kind of “tower” that supports the various elements made of Venini’s decorated glass, characterized by an undulating shape. The lamp’s inner light core diffuses a filtered glow into the surrounding space, soft and never harsh on the eyes. Thanks to its elegant and multifaceted nature, Veliero can be placed in different areas of the home with ease.

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
Tadao Ando
Tadao Ando (1941-) is one of the major contemporary Japanese architects, famous worldwide for his minimalist poetics which manages to unite the Japanese architectural tradition with the stylistic features of Western modernism in a very personal way, giving life to ascetic and contemplative buildings. Self-taught, he drew inspiration in particular from the works of Le Corbusier and Louis Khan and made himself known in the 1970s thanks to the hermetic project of Casa Azuma, built in exposed reinforced concrete like many of his best-known works by he. His most famous project is the Church of Light in Osaka, an abstract space made up of a bare concrete cube in which the only source of light is a cross-shaped cut in the wall. Ando achieved international fame in 1992 with his project for the Japanese pavilion at the Seville Expo and since then he has also carried out numerous projects in the West, including the Fabrica research center created for Benetton, the Armani Theater in Milan or the Conference Pavilion commissioned by Vitra for the Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, the first building designed by Ando outside Japan. Among the numerous awards received during his career, the Pritzker Prize (1995) and the Imperial Prize (1996) are worth mentioning. Tadao Ando's unique experience with furniture design dates back to a special collaboration with the company Carl Hansen & Søn.
