Blue and white glass pendant by Massimo Vignelli for Venini, 1950s

Hand-blown blue and white tessuto (lined) glass pendant designed by Massimo Vignelli at the start of his impressive career in design. It was produced by Murano glass specialist Venini.

The lamp has been rewired with 2 m high-end quality, black fabric cord—for safety and beauty. The original metal ceiling cap is included.
