The Clessidra hourglass by Fulvio Bianconi and Paolo Venini from 1957 is reissued in 2015 in a more domed and feminine form. The gossamer grains of sand are barely perceptible and yet as present as the passing seconds. The sand trickles through the glass spheres, made using the Incalmo technique, and takes on their colour as it flows in perfect balance between two different shades.
.The Clessidra collection was created to capture a small part of the cyclical nature of time and preserve it in glass for eternity. From the barely perceptible beat of the heart to the revolutions of the earth, all of human life is connected to time.
The Incalmo technique is one of the most complex processing techniques. It involves combining two hot-blown shapes around the circumference to create the evocative meeting of different areas, usually of different colours, in the same object.
VENINI achieves its excellence through the unique combination of exclusive techniques from the Murano tradition, which are preserved by experienced master glassmakers. Artists from all over the world contribute to the experimental creativity and exceptional colours are selected. Nothing is left to chance in the fornace (glass furnace).The high quality is the result of the constant search for perfection and the passion for innovation found in every phase of production. A perfect balance is achieved between craftsmanship and bold creativity that is far removed from fleeting fads. By choosing VENINI, one creates one's own priceless work of art that captivates through culture, beauty and workmanship.
