“Does it sway in the wind? Will it shift if I blow on it? Should I give it a try?”
Fazzoletto a Canne (handkerchief) is one of the earliest creations by Fulvio Bianconi for Venini, crafted by a master glassmaker with a gentle yet confident sweeping motion.
This gesture embodies art, magic, poetry, and pride, and has earned a place in the permanent collection at MoMA in New York.

Venini
A century of Italian glassmaking, reimagined.
Founded in Murano in 1921 by Paolo Venini, the house of Venini has long stood at the crossroads of tradition and artistic innovation. Merging centuries-old Venetian glassblowing techniques with the bold spirit of the modern avant-garde, Venini helped usher Murano into the 20th century — and beyond.
From its early collaborations with pioneering architects and artists such as Carlo Scarpa and Gio Ponti, to its iconic works like the Fazzoletto vase (1948), Venini has built a reputation for sinuous forms, saturated colour, and extraordinary technical mastery. Its pieces are not merely decorative — they are artworks in molten motion, alive with movement, material memory, and light.
Still crafted today in the original Murano furnace, Venini’s collections are an enduring testament to Italian design: at once contemporary, collectible, and profoundly rooted in heritage.
