venini:
founded in 1921 as cappellin venini & c. By paolo venini and giacomo cappelin, venini is one of italy's oldest glassmaking companies. After being divided and renamed vetri soffiati muranesi venini in 1925, it quickly became a renowned name in the production of artistic glass, reaching its golden age in the 1980s with significant collaborations with prominent artists, designers, and architects.

following the long tradition of murano blown glass, venini's approach to historical craftsmanship and originality has attracted numerous renowned designers who have helped establish the brand as one of italy's leading authorities in the art of glass, such as alessandro mendini, gio ponti, ettore sottsass, and carlo scarpa.
