ProfessionalProduct description
This Murano glass vase was designed by Alessandro Mendini for the renowned Venini glassworks in 1999. This piece exemplifies the Italian designer's postmodern approach, characterized by bold forms and vibrant colors that defy the classical conventions of glass design.
Made of mouth-blown Murano glass, this vase features a sculptural hourglass shape, accentuated by a clear glass ring at the neck. The intense orange color, achieved through the traditional techniques of Venini's master glassmakers, gives the object a strong visual presence. The piece bears Alessandro Mendini's engraved signature as well as the "Made in Italy Venini Murano" authenticity mark.
The vase is in exceptional condition, exhibiting no structural or aesthetic flaws. The glass surface retains all its original brilliance, a testament to the care lavished on this collector's item.
This vase by Alessandro Mendini fits perfectly into a contemporary or eclectic interior, adding a touch of color and Italian design history. It will find its place on a minimalist console table or as a centerpiece on a dining table, drawing the eye with its unique shape and luminous hue.
