BEHIND THE PROCESS
On the island of Murano, Venice, every Venini piece begins with sand. Over 100 colour recipes made from natural materials have been developed and refined in the Fornace over generations — each shade as distinctive as the hand that shapes it. No machines. Just a maestro, a pipe, and over a century of inherited technique transforming molten glass into something entirely irreplaceable.

Fantasmino
The flowing, silhouette of the Fantasmino (Italian for Little Ghost) is hand blown on the island of Murano, Venice.
Inspired by Venini's iconic Fazzoletto vase of 1948, the Fantasmino brings the ancient Opalino glassblowing technique into the present. When lit, it casts a warm, enveloping glow that transforms any surface it touches.
Portable. Rechargeable. Endlessly beautiful.
Charge it via USB-C, choose from three brightness settings, and move it effortlessly from your bedside table to a dinner party centrepiece to a quiet corner that needs warmth.
This is not simply a lamp. It is a piece of Murano glass that happens to light your room.

Deco
Designed in 1930 by Napoleone Martinuzzi — one of the most influential figures in Murano glassmaking — the Decò is a timeless icon of 20th-century design. Its stacked, architectural silhouette reflects the stylistic purity of the Art Deco movement, reinterpreted through the refined lens of Venetian craftsmanship.
Hand-blown in Murano by Venini's master glassmakers, each Decò is a true collector's piece — a vase that bridges nearly a century of design history with the life of any room it enters. Available in three sizes and three colours, each handblown from natural materials in the Venini Fornace.

Fazzoletto
Conceived in 1948 by Fulvio Bianconi, the Fazzoletto — Italian for handkerchief — captures something that should be impossible in glass: the soft, weightless drape of fabric caught mid-float. Each piece is hand-blown on the island of Murano, spun on the end of the glassblower's rod while the glass is still molten — it is this spinning that coaxes the material into its signature folded drape, the centrifugal force doing what gravity does to fabric. The result is then hand-finished by Venini's master glassblowers, its wafting silhouette shaped entirely by breath, rather than any mould. No two are identical. A post-war icon that has never gone out of style, and never will.

Monofiori Balloton
It looks soft, but it's glass.
The optical illusion is couched in its name — Balloton, the ancient Murano technique that recreates the look of matelassé fabric on the surface of the glass. A fine lip in a contrasting colour, hot-worked around the mouth by hand.
Monofiori — Italian for single flower —designed for the simple pleasure of a small bouquet. Each Monofiori Balloton is mouth-blown and hand-finished on the island of Murano. No two are identical — the subtle variations in colour and surface are the mark of the human hand behind every piece.
Available in four sizes and a range of hand-crafted colours.
