Pair of Murano pendants in amber by Massimo Vignelli for Venini, 1950s

Hand-blown glass amber pendants designed by Massimo Vignelli at the start of his impressive career in design and produced by Murano glass specialist Venini.

We have two lamps in amber, but please note, as they are hand blown they all differ slightly in colour. These lamps were made in three sizes: 25 cm, 30 cm and 39 cm high. Ours are the middle size, 30 cm. Original with brass canopy, but rewired with 2 m high-end quality, black fabric cord—for safety and beauty.

If you like to read more about the collaboration between Vignelli and Venini; in the Discover section of our website you can find an interesting article on the first joint project of both masters of design and a second article on the other lamps Vignelli later designed for Venini.
