Grey glass pendant by Massimo Vignelli for Venini, 1950s

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

These lamps were made in three sizes: 25 cm, 30 cm and 39 cm high. Ours is the middle size.

Original with brass canopy, but rewired with 2 m high end quality, black fabric cord – for safety and beauty.
