Founded in 2013, by Massimo Tonetto and Melissa Lunardi, VENICEM manufactures lighting fixtures and furniture that result from an incessant stylistic research. A unique design vision that develops through a profound dialogue between primary shapes and matter.
Balance is essential in the transformation of material into finished products. Each material possesses peculiarities that must be understood, indulged and challenged. In the careful hands of experts, lamps and furnishings acquire traits and irregularities, regarding which investigation into the processes that give shape to the matter is necessary.
VENICEM’s headquarters are located in a place where natural elements are combined with a noble tradition of high quality craftsmanship.
