Copenhagen Venice
Copenhagen-based Simone Voigt spent over a decade collecting vintage Murano lamps before founding Copenhagen Venice in 2020, focusing on the curation of the italian-made lighting designs. The years spent collecting original Murano lamps inspired Simone to delve deeper into the storied craft behind each piece and explore every step of the elaborate process. From the attentive selection of materials to the mouth-blowing and hand-moulding techniques that define a lamp’s unique expression. Gaining extensive knowledge of the craft through years spent meeting artisans in their workshops led Simone Voigt to experiment with her first collection of original Murano-made designs, launching in 2023. Introducing: The Vetri Murano Series.
Exhibiting for the first time at 3daysofdesign, Copenhagen Venice will present an ambient installation at Studio Force Majeure’s playful universe presenting the new Vetri Murano series. The series relies on the attentive artisanship native to the Murano while introducing a Scandinavian take on the classic swirl design. An original 1970s mould is picked specifically for this series, giving the opaline glass a balanced striped pattern creating a clean and simple design. Providing at once durable lighting fixtures and functional art objects, the pieces present a sculptural expression bridging Danish design sensibilities with manual Venetian craftsmanship.
