The collection's name is inspired by Specola Padovana, the historic astronomical observatory established in 1767. The light is diffused within hand-beaten and enameled copper parabolas, while the light fixtures gravitate suspended on cylindrical elements made of natural copper. Enameling is a complex technique involving subjecting an object covered with colored glass powders to a high temperature with unpredictable results. Designed in collaboration with Giorgia Zanellato and Daniele Bortotto.

Discovering the Artisan

Venini
Veneto, Italy | Glassmith
Iconic glassmaking company Cappellin Venini &C. was founded in 1921 by Paolo Venini and Giacomo Cappelin. Divided and renamed Vetri Soffiati Muranesi Venini in 1925, it soon became a well-recognized name in artistic glass production, reaching its golden age in the 1980s with important collaborations with distinguished artists, designers, and architects. Venini’s exquisite blown glass objects represent the perfect marriage between Murano’s tradition and original designs by artists like Alessandro Mendini, Gio Ponti, Ettore Sottsass, and Carlo Scarpa, just to name a few.
