Blue pendant by Massimo Vignelli for Venini, 1950s

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

This model was made in three sizes: 25 cm, 30 cm and 39 cm high. This one is the middle size, so it 30 cm high. The lamp has been rewired with 2 m high-end quality, white fabric cord—for safety and beauty.
