A collaborative effort between three design masters: Italy’s Fantini, Venini and Studio Thun, bring us beautifully crafted chromatic Murano glass faucet handles to compliment their elegant faucet designs.
Murano Glass Faucet Handles
Venezia by Venini is modern in look and feel but traditional in its Venetian craft. The new collection of two tone and filigree glass handles are an elegant addition to Fantini’s range and were designed by Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez of Milan Studio Thun.
Modeled by the historic Venini Glassworks, the chromatic variations of the Venini handles expand the range of Fantini’s Venezia collection, evoking style, elegance, refinement, luxury, and the memories of historic Venetian traditions and surroundings.
“Two-tone and filigree are both distinctive techniques of ancient Murano glassmaking, which Venini has always created with unparalleled skill, producing unique pieces that magnify the quality and beauty of hand-crafted objects. All versions have a striking visual and emotional impact.” (Venini)
Two Tone
They have a cylindrical shape and smooth, rounded edges accentuating the fluid effect of the two-tone combinations: aquamarine/green, amethyst/amber, red/amber.
Filigree
Little masterpieces of beauty and elegance, the filigree handles are available in white or black, using a decorative technique perfected in the 16th century by the master glassmakers of Murano. It is created by adding straight or interwoven glass rods into a transparent body, thus creating a delicate lacy effect within the glass.
