Venini | Fantasmino

From the archives of the Venini glassworks, Fantasmino becomes a rechargeable LED lamp with an iconic profile, playing with the material

A game of lights and shapes, but also of overlapping time frames, between past and present, to generate something new and original. Once again Venini demonstrates its mastery, with the Fantasmino lamp, which interprets the brand’s ability to constantly update its heritage for a contemporary context, without losing sight of the age-old expertise contained in its DNA.
Fantasmino is the new rechargeable LED lamp whose silhouette comes from an exclusive archival prototype, updated in table and floor versions that reinvent the Opalini technique dating back to the 15
th century.

The blown glass becomes an object that seems to move lightly, as if it were floating in space: an ideal that is also accentuated by the portable use of the extremely manageable lamp, with a height of 16 centimeters. There are five available colors: Red, Orange, Amber, Aquamarine and Milk, all in opaline glass.
