Cilindro Sommerso by Venini

The Cilindro Sommerso vase is a sophisticated expression of Murano glass artistry, designed by Peter Marino for Venini. With its minimalist cylindrical form, the piece reflects Marino’s architectural approach to design, where geometry, material, and light merge into a harmonious sculptural object.

Handcrafted by master glassmakers in Murano, the vase is created using the traditional sommerso technique, meaning “submerged glass.” This complex process layers different colors of molten glass so that one tone appears suspended within another, producing remarkable depth and transparency.

In the Cilindro Sommerso collection, the purity of crystal glass is combined with the richness of paraiba green tones, while delicate gold leaf is applied inside the glass. As the artisan blows the glass, the gold gently expands, creating a subtle luminous effect that enhances the object’s sculptural quality.

The result is a piece where light, color, and craftsmanship converge. The clean cylindrical silhouette contrasts with the layered interior textures, making the vase both modern and timeless. Each piece is individually handcrafted, ensuring that every Cilindro Sommerso is unique and a true example of Murano’s centuries-old glassmaking tradition.

Elegant whether displayed alone or with flowers, the Cilindro Sommerso vase brings refined Italian design and artistic craftsmanship to contemporary interiors.
