Murano Glass Pendant Chandelier by Massimo Vignelli for Venini, 50s

An elegant and refined Murano blown glass pendant lamp, handcrafted by Massimo Vignelli for the prestigious Venini workshops on the island of Murano.

This pendant lamp features the classic Murano “sommerso” technique: the white opaline glass upper portion gradually fades into vibrant bands overlapping the base, a nod to Venini's mid-20th-century design language. The tall, tapered opaline glass body blends into the colorful “sommerso” bands overlapping the base, showcasing modern Italian art glassmaking techniques.

This stunning pendant lamp makes a refined and elegant focal point for contemporary interiors seeking authentic mid-century Italian design.

Very good condition, as shown in the photos. I would like to point out some light marks on the glass (visible in the detailed photos).

The chandelier is working.

The lamp holder and the various components for the electrical connection are probably not contemporary but have been changed (the steel cup, lamp holder)

Measurements: total length 85 cm

The lampshade is 36 cm long and has a diameter of 15 cm
