Clessidre Sommerse Sculptures

The Clessidre Sommerse Sculptures from Venini introduce an innovative twist to Fulvio Bianconi's 2024 design through their submerged glass technique. Made in Murano by master artisans, these hourglasses use the incalmo method to encase two blown glass chambers within an outer layer. The grains flow between the chambers in a mesmerizing display that suspends time itself. These pieces represent both Bianconi's artistic legacy and the evolution of Italian glassmaking traditions into the modern era.
