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

A pair of hand-blown white no. 011.11 glass pendants designed by Massimo Vignelli at the start of his impressive career in design and executed by Murano glass specialist Venini. It is one of the most characteristic models that Vignelli designed for the company.

The lamps are in good vintage condition. Please note: one pendant has minor damage to the lower part. This flaw is difficult to see and therefore, in our opinion, not disturbing. Nevertheless, we have taken it into account when determining the price of the pair. The lamps have been rewired with 1,5 m high end quality, black fabric cord – for safety and beauty.
