Venini Fungo Chandelier by Massimo Vignelli, Talpa/Lattimo 895.10

The Fungo lamp, which received an honorable mention at the prestigious "Compasso d'Oro" in 1956, represents the pinnacle of Massimo Vignelli's aesthetic and functional research in the field of lighting design. Born from the encounter between Venetian craftsmanship and a contemporary vision, this creation stands out for its luminous body made entirely of Tessuto glass, where thin taupe and lattimo glass canes intertwine to create the effect of a soft cascade of light. The white painted metal base elegantly completes the lamp's silhouette, creating a perfect balance between form and function. With a diameter of 26 centimeters, this masterpiece of Italian design houses a 12W E27 LED light source, combining energy efficiency with quality of light. Each piece, produced strictly in Italy using ancient blown glass and cane-working techniques, bears the identification code FL389510000C0L9, a testament to a design legacy that continues to illuminate contemporary spaces with undiminished elegance.
