Argea - table lamp

Venini, 2003

Gold and silver in small leaves join the material until the glass looks like water full of bubbles, a memory of the sea.

From the Greek arge, argos meaning brilliant. In its name there's the echo of mythology, of the sea voyage that led Jason to the Golden Fleece.

Through the power of fire, the glass incorporates silver and gold leaves, taking on glows and optical effects reminiscent of the sea. Argea shines with its own light and becomes a design myth.

Art, color, quality, uniqueness and craftsmanship give life to blown and handcrafted glass collections that generate works of art signed exclusively by Venini. Objects born from study and experimentation in collaborations with master glassmakers.
