Cappellin Venini \u0026amp; Company glassworks, founded in 1921 by the Venetian antiquarian Giacomo Cappellin and the young Milanese lawyer Paolo Venini to offer a sophisticated, modern style of glass production. Responding to the demands of the firm and its customers, Zecchin created startlingly modern monochrome blown-glass pieces with extraordinary colors and elegant, minimal lines—a radically new style for glass that marked a decisive turning point in the 20th-century history of Murano.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eVittorio Zecchin: Transparent Glass for Cappellin and Venini\u003c\/i\u003e reconstructs for the first time the entire collection of transparent blown-glass pieces designed by Zecchin between 1921 and 1926, first for Cappellin and Venini and then for Cappellin alone. It includes a sequence of about 900 luminous objects (from vases to compote bowls, from table services to chandeliers), painstakingly identified following rigorous research, and extensively illustrated here with new photography, plus a selection of largely unpublished period photographs and drawings. A major contribution to the history of design, this volume casts new light on the modernist master of Murano glass.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture rigide","offer_id":46536643150034,"sku":"9788857237121","price":112.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_587d4e2b-1f75-490b-8152-738186d70dbe.jpg?v=1763140143","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/fr\/products\/vittorio-zecchin-transparent-glass-for-cappellin-and-venini-1","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
