Venetian light

venezia_di_luce Every ‘Luci Veneziane’ chandelier line in this catalogue can be made, if so requested, in other colours at the same prices. This page shows the most classical colours. Other colours, combinations and processing techniques can be explored together with the customer.

PASTORALE
This line is a tribute to the most classical of symbols defining Murano workmanship: the pastorale is the scroll that is presented in these photographs in an elegant version showing crystal transparencies. Petenà reinterprets the Pastorale in a modern key by inserting it within a very simple composition., As far as possible when talking of Venetian glass, a sort of form minimalism harmoniously accompanies the Dama Bianca line of furnishing accessories.
SOSPIRI
A suffused atmosphere, thanks to the lights pointing towards the ceiling, like candles and torches. Chandelier, floor and table lamp are discrete elements with simple forms, even more so in the version shown here: black, inserts like the moon with hints of silver and the preciousness of the transparent leaves of the chandelier. Sospiri or “Sighs” like the bridge that separated Casanova, consigned to the Piombi prison, from the much loved ladies of the Doge’s palace. This is why Sospiri has been designed in combination with the Dama Nera accessory line.
DOGE
The pleats of the arms and cups in the Doge line are reminiscent of the clothes of the 18th century. Maximum yield is to be found in the gold-red variants both in transparency, that gives way to the magnificence of coloured hints, and in the opaque inserts, reminiscent of the preciousness of velvet. The setting opposite shows how the line harmoniously accompanies the objects of the Sogno mille bolle line.
SETTECENTO
The Settecento chandelier line is the most elaborate and with its ornaments, the hanging buds in particular, represent the style of a century marked by strong contrasts, but still strongly anchored to the majesty of the Serenissima Republic. A violet version of a Shakespearian ‘dark lady’ that goes sublimely with a similarly violet Shakespearian Sogno mille bolle line.
CARNEVALE
Carnevale is the ‘gem’ par excellence: the hand blown arm chandelier decorated with multicoloured flowers. Since Medieval times and up to the 18th century, it could be seen in the most sumptuous Venetian palaces. Today Petenà celebrates the allegory of the elegant ball rooms of a typical carnival bursting with colour and proposing it in the more traditional ceiling version (3-5-6-8 lights) to accompany wall, table and floor versions. The Leds fitted into the elements that compose the Chandelier create unique effects of light, enhancing the transparencies, the colours and the atmosphere: high-tech that highlights a fascinating traditional style”.
