Multi-coloured hand-blown wall lamp by Massimo Vignelli for Venini, 1950s

Rare hand blown glass wall lamp designed by Massimo Vignelli at the start of his impressive career in design and executed by Murano glass specialist Venini.

One of the most characteristic lamps that Vignelli designed for Venini. It is exceptional because of the shape of the lamp, but especially because of the striking colour combination. The black bracket has some minor signs of usage.

Upon request the lamp can be changed into a pendant.
