Description

The Kukinto vase is one of Venini’s most expressive artistic creations, designed in 1991 by Timo Sarpaneva, a key figure in the international recognition of Finnish design. This sculptural vase blends Nordic aesthetic sensibility with the centuries-old mastery of Murano glassmaking.

Inspired by natural forms and movement, Kukinto evokes the image of a blossom swaying in the wind or the flowing skirt of a dancer. Its dynamic form and sweeping lines create a sense of lightness and elegance, as if the glass were floating in space.

Each vase is hand-blown by master glassmakers in Murano, using transparent glass enriched with hot-applied colored bands that wrap around the surface in fluid waves. The colors—red, apple green, sapphire blue, black, and crystal—interact and merge with one another, creating a vibrant composition where light and color continuously shift depending on the viewing angle.

The result is a monumental yet delicate object where transparency overlays transparency, producing a layered visual depth reminiscent of flower petals or flowing fabric. Every piece is individually crafted, making each Kukinto vase unique and highlighting the exceptional skill of Murano artisans.

Elegant, sculptural, and collectible, Kukinto represents the perfect balance between Nordic design poetry and Italian glassmaking excellence, making it a stunning centerpiece for sophisticated interiors.
