Visit Venini’s Murano boutique on Fondamenta Vetrai, then trace the house’s design history from its 1921 founding through vases, decorative glass and lighting.
A boutique on Murano
The boutique is at Fondamenta Vetrai 47, 30141 Murano-Venezia. It is open daily from 09:30 to 18:00. For questions, call +39 041 2737254 or write to show-room@venini.com; appointments can also be booked online.1
Glassmaking and design
On 2 October 1921, Paolo Venini and Giacomo Cappellin founded Vetri Soffiati Cappellin Venini & C. Vittorio Zecchin joined as artistic director, and his Veronese vase, also created that year, became a symbol of the company.2

Three glass questions on Fondamenta Vetrai
The Venini boutique brings three distinct kinds of glass into one Murano address: vessels, decorative objects and lighting. A vase makes volume and rim visible; a decorative figure foregrounds shape; a lamp must also work with a light source. Compare exact named pieces with their maker and designer credits rather than treating every object as a generic “Murano vase”. The 1921 house chronology gives context, but does not date or attribute an unlabelled item in today’s shop.6
