FANTINI. THE AIRY GLOW OF GLASS

June 14, 2022

Style, tradition, elegance, refinement, luxury and top-class glass craftsmanship: these are the characteristics of exquisite Venezia handles. With different shapes, they have an amazing three-dimensional effect of material depth and transparency. The airy glow of glass and the play of bright colors - like jewels displayed in museum showcases.

The magic of transparency, tactile and chromatic fluidity and the unique nature of handmade products are the outstanding features of the new Murano glass handles designed by Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez in collaboration with Venini.

The series includes two distinct product groups: two-tone handles and filigree handles. Both of these are distinct ancient Murano glass art techniques that Venini has always created with unparalleled skill, creating unique works of art that highlight the quality and beauty of handcrafted objects.

The two-tone handles have a cylindrical shape with clean, rounded edges that enhance the flowing effect of the two-tone combinations: aquamarine/green, amethyst/amber, red/amber.

Available in white and black, the egg-shaped filigree handles are soft and sensual to the touch. Filigree glass is an extremely elegant decorative technique perfected in the 16th century by Murano glass masters who took this technique from Venice to all of Europe. It is made by embedding straight or twisted glass rods into a transparent body, creating a subtle lacy effect in the glass.

The glass is also available in cut, faceted cylindrical versions that have a classic yet contemporary look. They come in sky blue, amber and white and can be transparent or opaque. The metal base, which is flush with the glass body, smoothly continues its multifaceted texture.

For more than seventy years, Fantini has developed and produced innovative products that have made the company an international reference point for the development of design in its industry. Founded in 1947 by brothers Giovanni and Ersilio, Fantini is still a family business to this day.

Why is Fantini so special? All the company's projects are born from curiosity and the desire to continue experimenting; even today, 70 years later, it is still the driving force behind their creativity.
