Mid-century Murano glass chandelier Tronchi by Toni Zuccheri for Venini, Italy 1960s

The elegant Murano glass chandelier made in Italy in the 60s. Designer Toni Zuccheri for Venini & Co.

While the company’s founder, Paolo Venini (1895–1959), was himself a highly talented glassware designer, his true genius was to invite forward-thinking Italian and international designers to Murano’s hallowed workshops to create Venini pieces — among them Giò Ponti, Massimo Vignelli, Finnish designer Tapio Wirkkala, Thomas Stearnsof the United States and Fulvio Bianconi.
