Paolo Venini

Rare “Ondulato” ceiling light, model no. 215, 1931-1935

Ondulato glass, etched glass, brass, painted steel.

Produced by Venini & C., Murano, Italy.

From the Catalogue:
Electric Modernism

This lamp involved the use of a patent—that of vetro ondulato (corrugated glass)—developed by Venini in the mid-1930s and published in the famous Catologo Blu (brev. 297787). Vetro ondulato was used for the long horizontal ceiling lights installed in public buildings such as the Stazione di Santa Maria Novella in Florence (1932-1935) designed by Giovanni Michelucci and the Tuscan Group, as well as smaller lights, such as those in the Palazzo delle Poste di Palermo by Angiolo Mazzoni (1929-1934).

The end plates, also in glass, with U-shaped zigzag decoration echoing the corrugated glass, incorporate one of the most typical motifs of the Art Deco style. This motif would remain popular, even in Italy, for the better part of the 1920s and 1930s, adopted in the design vocabulary of the radical avant-garde, of the second Futurism and the modernist eclecticism practiced by the most brilliant architects of the era. The use of the zigzag motif was particularly distinctive in the work of Piero Portaluppi, who declared it a sort of lightning rod, a tribute to the hydroelectric power plants he designed.
