The Fazzoletto vase by VENINI, an icon of Italian design that has captivated with its sculptural and dynamic form since 1948, is now dressed in the new and exclusive Mint Lilac shade. This creation, which has entered the permanent collection of the MoMA in New York, is born from a unique artistic gesture: the master glassmaker, with a circular movement as precise as it is poetic, shapes the incandescent glass, giving it that characteristic wavy form that seems to dance with the light.
The new Mint Lilac color tells the story of a secret Venice, where wisteria in bloom intertwines with the first spring green of hidden gardens. This chromatic fusion transforms every vase into a living work of art, where the delicacy of lilac blends harmoniously with the freshness of mint green, creating a play of reflections and transparencies that changes as the light shifts.
Originally designed by Fulvio Bianconi, the Fazzoletto represents a perfect example of how the Murano glassmaking tradition can continuously reinvent itself. Its shape, reminiscent of a handkerchief moved by the wind, is the result of a complex process that requires absolute mastery and precision. Each piece is made entirely by hand, making every vase a unique and unrepeatable item.
Versatile and dramatic, the Fazzoletto vase lends itself to multiple interpretations: it can be the centerpiece of a refined table setting, a decorative element on an antique console, or an artistic presence on a contemporary coffee table. Its organic shape and the new Mint Lilac shade make it perfect for both classic and modern settings, where it can be appreciated as a sculpture in its own right or as a refined vessel for floral arrangements.
Each Fazzoletto vase is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity attesting to its origin and craftsmanship, produced exclusively in the VENINI furnaces of Murano, where the art of blown glass has been passed down for nearly a century. This new chromatic interpretation confirms VENINI's ability to renew itself while keeping its creative DNA and the artisanal excellence that distinguishes it worldwide intact.
