Conical swirl Murano glass lamp, Italy, 1970s.
A spiral of light captured in glass — this conical lamp translates the motion of breath into form. Mouth-blown in Murano glass, it carries the precision of Italian craft while holding the aura of something speculative: a domestic landscape where geometry becomes atmosphere.
The pure white glass is not static — it glows with translucency, its spiral pattern suggesting infinite rotation, like a fragment of a galaxy scaled for the interior. Venini’s mastery lies not only in technique but in this ability to connect everyday objects to cosmic imagination.
Placed on a table or console, the lamp does more than illuminate — it draws the room into orbit.
