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following rigorous research, and extensively illustrated here with new photography, plus a selection of largely unpublished period photographs and drawings.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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Skira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788857237121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.20h x 11.40w x 2.00d","brand":"Vittorio Zecchin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38400007110837,"sku":"9788857237121","price":72.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_794b282c-95f1-4d77-aaad-6880b577f7c1.jpg?v=1612161506","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/vittorio-zecchin-transparent-glass-for-cappellin-and-venini-9788857237121","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
