Murrine Romane by Venini

The Murrine Romane collection represents one of the most refined expressions of Venetian glass artistry. Designed by the legendary Carlo Scarpa for Venini, this remarkable piece draws inspiration from the rich artistic heritage of ancient Rome, translating classical aesthetics into a contemporary Murano glass creation.

Crafted using the historic murrine technique, colored glass rods are fused together and carefully arranged to form intricate mosaic-like patterns. Once melted and shaped, these fragments create vibrant geometric compositions that give each piece its unique visual identity. The result is a captivating surface where color, light, and texture interact to evoke the atmosphere of ancient frescoes and Roman mosaics.

First conceived in the 1930s and later produced in the 1940s, the design reflects Scarpa’s visionary approach to glassmaking—combining historical inspiration with modern experimentation. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted by master glassmakers in Murano and produced in limited numbered editions, ensuring exclusivity and authenticity.

With its refined geometry and rich color composition, the Murrine Romane piece is both a decorative object and a collectible work of design history. Whether displayed as a centerpiece or part of a curated interior, it embodies the timeless elegance and craftsmanship that define the Venini legacy.
