Pair of orange Murano glass pendants by Massimo Vignelli for Venini, 1950s

Pair of hand-blown orange glass pendants 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 medium size, so it is 30 cm high.

These glass pendants have been rewired with 2 m high-end quality, black fabric cord—for safety and beauty.
