DONALD JUDD FURNITURE
Sebastian + Barquet London is delighted to present an exhibition of works by iconic Italian glass manufacturer Venini. The exhibition presents works created between the 1930s and the 1970s, the result of the company’s successful collaborations with seminal modernist designers including Gio Ponti and Carlo Scarpa.

Arguably the most highly regarded maker of fine Italian glass, Cappellin Venini & Co, was established in 1925 by Paolo Venini. Over the years, collaborations with pioneering designers including Tapio Wirkkala and Thomas Stearns helped to develop and shape Venini’s unmistakable style. It was Venini’s partnership with architect Carlo Scarpa in the forties that brought the manufacturer worldwide acclaim. Scarpa influenced twentieth century glass by introducing and refining new techniques and modernist designs. Scarpa was succeeded by Fulvio Bianconi, who during his time with Venini in the forties and sixties conceived Venini’s most popular design, the Pezzati series, still in production today.
