VENINI

When glass glows, even without light

Some vases simply sit in a room. Others shift its entire atmosphere. VENINI quite clearly belongs to the second kind. Based in Murano, the brand has stood for glass art since 1921, bringing together traditional Venetian craftsmanship and modern design in a way that feels luxurious, precise and quietly assured. At LIVOSY, we focus on a carefully selected part of that world: glass vases that do more than decorate. They shape a room.

A house rooted in Murano, with an eye on design

VENINI was co-founded in 1921 by Paolo Venini and remains deeply connected to Murano, the island long associated with exceptional glassmaking. Over more than a century, the brand has become internationally renowned for luxurious art glass and for showing that heritage does not have to mean looking backwards. That balance is part of its appeal. VENINI preserves Venetian craft knowledge while continuously translating it into forms that feel current, composed and strikingly clear.

The aesthetic is unmistakably Italian, yet never noisy. Colour matters. Proportion matters. Transparency matters. And so does the fine judgment of when an object should feel sculptural and when it should settle naturally into everyday life. Many VENINI pieces carry that beautiful tension between history and the present, between craft and design, between statement and restraint. Luxurious, yes. But with substance rather than spectacle.

Craft you can see. And sometimes only understand on a second look.

What makes VENINI special begins with the material itself: mouth-blown Murano glass, made in Murano. Each vase emerges from a craft tradition shaped by experience, control and timing. With glass, quality rarely needs to shout. It shows in clarity, colour depth, finish and the confidence of the silhouette.

There is also the brand’s position within the wider design world. VENINI is not merely a maker of decorative objects. It is a manufactory that has helped shape the language of glass art and design for over a century. Iconic forms, refined surfaces and an ongoing openness to new colour directions are all part of that identity. The fact that the house releases new colours on a regular basis feels entirely natural here. VENINI responds to the present without chasing it. Trends are not copied. They are translated into glass. Which is a far more elegant way of handling them.

For tables, sideboards and the quiet centres of a room

Although VENINI is known for far more than vases, including art objects and lighting, our focus at LIVOSY is deliberately narrow. We carry selected vases only. Not for the sake of limitation, but because a well-chosen vase can do a surprising amount of work. It can hold light, establish rhythm and create a sense of calm or tension exactly where a room needs it.

Within table culture, VENINI vases do not behave like accessories. They act more like quiet focal points. Beautiful with a few branches, generous with flowers or entirely empty. That is part of their charm. They do not need to justify their presence. They bring colour, material and form into a setting without overworking it. Sometimes they sharpen a composed table. Sometimes they become the one detail that suddenly makes the whole room feel right. Yes, it is only a vase. And no, that does not make it unimportant.

Why VENINI belongs at LIVOSY

VENINI fits LIVOSY because it reflects many of the qualities we look for in Wohnaccessoires, table culture and design-led objects: genuine craftsmanship, cultural depth, high-quality materials and a clear design attitude. Its European origin matters not as a label, but as part of a broader idea of quality, continuity and making things properly. That curatorial perspective is central to how we build our assortment. We are not interested in carrying everything. We are interested in carrying what belongs.

Choosing to present selected VENINI vases only is therefore entirely in line with our approach. These are pieces with presence, light, balance and character. They bring luxury into a room without making it feel staged. That is exactly the kind of confidence we appreciate.
