Venini
Yemen Vase
Price € 2,590.00
An elegant and distinctive vase, capable with its shapes of expressing design in its simplest and most distinctive form. The shades of Yemen are a tribute to the flag of this land, whose colors will be taken up, enhancing them thanks to the shapes finely studied by Venini. The structure is composed of a central sphere to which two lateral cones are attached, one more flared and the other less, in different colors, which will act as a base and upper support. The mind behind this vase is Ettore Sottsass, who is responsible for the ability to create an object that fits in with any environment, regardless of where you decide to place it. The beauty of the colors also enhances the shape, creating a perfect balance of light and shade.

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
Ettore Sottsass
Ettore Sottsass (1917-2007) is one of the key figures in the history of Italian design. Artist, designer and architect, he is considered one of the founding fathers of Radical Design and has had an incalculable influence on the development of the discipline. Born in Austria to a family of Trentino-Tyrolean origins (his father, Ettore Sottsass Senior, was a famous architect), he grew up and graduated in Turin and then opened his own studio in Milan. However, Sottsass considered himself a citizen of the world and traveled extensively: from New York, where he worked in George Nelson's studio, to India, visited with his wife Fernanda Pivano, another great protagonist of the cultural debate of the time, the greatest expert in American literature in all Italy. It was this great set of stimuli and influences that allowed him to develop a revolutionary style, dominated by bright colors and extreme shapes, in complete contrast with the functionalist dictates of post-war industrial design. Expressed through the artistic direction of the Tuscan brand Poltronova and the foundation of the Memphis group, a veritable hotbed of talents that would set the tone for the whole style of Italian design of the 1980s. However, Sottsass was not only a breakthrough figure, but also an impeccable professional: with his creations for Olivetti he was the protagonist of an avant-garde technological enterprise in the 1960s, while with his studio Sottsass Associati he signed products that entered the catalogs of brands such as Artemide, Alessi, Venini, Zanotta, Glas Italia, Kartell and many others.Read more
