Green Murano glass pendant by Massimo Vignelli for Venini, 1950s

Green Murano glass 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 medium size, so it is 30 cm high.

This green Murano glass lamp has been rewired with 2 m high-end quality, black fabric cord—for safety and beauty.
