This Venini Murano glass chandelier was designed by Toni Zuccheri and made in Venice in the 1960s. Its cylindrical elements in bark-textured Murano glass are arranged in three tiers of decreasing diameter. Ideal for illuminating a dining room, this chandelier complements a wide range of interior styles.
Bark-Textured Glass and Brass Details
The Murano glass features a raised corteccia, or bark-like, texture that recalls the irregular surface of tree bark. Light catches the ridges, revealing the depth of the overlapping tiers. Brass details add a warm accent.
A Chandelier That Transforms a Room
Suspended above a contemporary table with clean lines, this Venini chandelier by Toni Zuccheri creates a pairing that brings out the beauty of both pieces. The simplicity of the furniture allows the textured glass to stand out, while the chandelier gives the dining area a distinctive, refined character. It is a statement piece around which an entire interior can take shape.

Bark-Textured Glass and the Play of Light
The corteccia technique evokes the irregular texture of tree bark. On the clear glass cylinders, raised surfaces catch the light and scatter it into reflections, highlighting the rich texture of the glass. When illuminated, the chandelier takes on a vibrant glow; when unlit, it retains the presence of an elegant sculptural object. The three overlapping tiers also create an interplay of solid forms, open spaces, and transparency.

Toni Zuccheri’s collaboration with Venini in the 1960s was part of a period of experimentation in glassmaking. His work explored the expressive potential of glass and the techniques used to shape it.
