Venini Deco: Art Déco Rhythm in Murano Glass
Venini Deco: the rhythm that illuminates space
If you are looking for a vase capable of decorating a room on its own, Deco is a dramatic choice. The shape is constructed from raised rings that repeat and change in size, like ripples in water: light flows, breaks, and then returns. The result is a compact, almost architectural volume, signed by Napoleone Martinuzzi, one of the protagonists of Venini's Art Deco period.
Opaline, explained without technical jargon
Many Deco variants are created in opaline glass. The core is lattimo, an opaque white with a porcelain-like effect. During the crafting process, it is "cased," meaning it is coated with thin layers of transparent or colored glass: this keeps the hue deep and luminous, never flat, with a smooth, silky surface.
