A tone that softens the entire room
Sometimes a subtle colour is enough to shift the mood of a space. The Lilla Menta vase by VENINI in its 16.5 cm size does exactly that. Its soft violet tone feels calm yet alive – like a gentle wash of colour that settles naturally into its surroundings. With a balanced shape, a diameter of 14 cm and a slightly flared opening, it feels present without ever overpowering. Crafted from mouth-blown Murano glass and finished with the iconic Balloton texture, the surface captures light and reflects it in delicate nuances. Designed by Paolo Venini in 1970, this vase blends traditional craftsmanship with a distinctly modern lightness.
Where light and colour create depth
The Balloton technique gives the vase its distinctive texture. Formed by blowing glass into a metal mould, it creates a subtle diamond pattern that enhances the way light interacts with the surface. In the Lilla Menta colour, this interplay becomes especially expressive – shifting between cooler and warmer tones depending on the light. In this larger size, the effect feels even more fluid and atmospheric. Whether filled with flowers or styled on its own, it brings both lightness and depth to a space.
Venetian heritage, timeless form
VENINI represents Murano glassmaking at its finest. With roots dating back to the 13th century, each piece reflects a long-standing tradition of craftsmanship. As part of the DAMIANI Group, the brand combines this heritage with a contemporary design perspective and international appeal. The Monofiori Balloton collection embodies this balance – classic technique, refined form and enduring aesthetics.
A statement that doesn’t need to be loud
The Lilla Menta vase in 16.5 cm works beautifully as a centrepiece on a table or as a subtle accent on shelves and sideboards. Combined with other sizes and colours from the collection, it creates harmonious compositions – from tonal arrangements to gentle contrasts. Or it simply stands alone. For those who understand that true impact often begins quietly.
