The formal purity and the lightness of CRYSTAL glass have made the Porpora CHANDELIER, designed in the 1920s, eternal.
Characterised by square forms and right angles, with a marked modern style, it stands provocatively apart from the traditional sinuous lines of all the prior production.
Wall light in blown CRYSTAL glass, and handcrafted using the “rigadin” technique, conceived in versions with two or three lights.

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.
