VeArt (Venini Arte) - Italian Murano Glass

VeArt (founded in 1965 by Sergio Billiotti and Ludovico Diaz de Santillana, the latter also being the artistic director of Venini) was a prominent Italian lighting manufacturer renowned for its high-quality Murano art glass. During the 1970s, the brand epitomized the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic by blending traditional Venetian glassblowing techniques with space-age geometries, vibrant colors, and sleek metal hardware
