Mid-Century Italian “Ice” Wall Sconce by Venini

An exceptional mid-century wall sconce by Venini, embodying the sculptural purity and material innovation that define Murano glass at its finest. This model features thick, hand-formed clear glass elements with a heavily textured, organic surface — often referred to as “ice” glass — designed to refract and diffuse light with remarkable depth and movement.

Each glass block is individually cast and shaped, resulting in subtle variations that enhance its artisanal character. The substantial weight and dimensional surface treatment create a dramatic interplay of shadow and luminosity when illuminated.
The glass components are suspended from a concealed metal structure, allowing the focus to remain on the rhythmic composition and crystalline clarity of the forms. A refined example of Italian modernist lighting design, balancing architectural restraint with expressive materiality.

Fully rewired to Australian standards.
