Aldo Cibic: Lou

The new collection of Aldo Cibic for Venini is a hybrid object in between a lamp and a vase, manufactured with the ancient technique of the milk-white opal glass.

The Lou collection designed by Aldo Cibic for Venini is a hybrid between a vase and a lamp, with a slightly oriental feel. In fact, the objects are shaped like opal vases which stand on a bronze-coloured metal base.

Milk-white is an opal glass, created for the first time in Murano in the early 15th century in order to imitate porcelains, which were very renowned in Europe in those times. This particular type of color is obtained by overlapping transparent colors to the Milk-white one. Sometimes it is possible to add
some gold leaves in order to obtain the “Aurati” vases.
