Venini has opened a new chapter in its history with the return of the Pezzati collection, one of the most celebrated expressions of Murano glassmaking. First created by Fulvio Bianconi in the early 1950s, these pieces remain a testament to artistic freedom, bold experimentation and a deep respect for tradition.

Pezzati were revolutionary from the beginning. The technique uses small colourful glass tiles applied while the glass is still hot. As they melt and merge together, the tiles form a mosaic surface full of movement, texture and unexpected colour. The result is a pattern that feels alive, with soft shifts in tone and rhythm that make each piece completely unique.

More than a technical innovation, the silhouette of Pezzati also helped shape modern Murano design. Their unusual curves, flattened profiles and gentle irregularities made them stand out at a time when glassmaking was moving toward more expressive forms. When the pieces were first shown at the 1950 Venice Biennale and later at the Triennale di Milano, they marked a turning point for Venini and helped define Bianconi’s creative language.

The new collection honours that legacy while bringing a contemporary sensibility. The palette features Lilla, Menta, Pagliesco and Crystal, each chosen to highlight the depth and luminosity that Pezzati are known for. Every piece is crafted according to the original principles of the technique, yet finished with a modern attention to detail that appeals to collectors and design lovers today.

With this revival, Venini celebrates its heritage and reintroduces one of the most influential ideas in Murano glassmaking. The Pezzati collection captures the spirit of experimentation that has always defined the furnace, inviting a new generation to appreciate the artistry behind each object.

The collection is available now in Venini boutiques, online and through select retailers worldwide.
