Gae Aulenti for Vistosi Murano Glass Table Lamp, 'Neverrino' Blue Green Murrine

Iconic postmodern Murano glass table lamp designed by Gae Aulenti for Vistosi, featuring blue-green murrine glass, a domed shade, and sculptural Italian modern form, circa 1980s. A striking Murano glass table lamp from Vistosi’s celebrated Neverrino series, originally designed in 1970 by famous Italian architect and designer Gae Aulenti (1927–2012). Aulenti is best known for her bold postmodern furniture and lighting designs, as well as her major architectural commissions, including the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. The lamp features a hemispherical shade worked in blue and green murrine glass — a centuries-old Murano technique in which patterned glass canes are sliced into small cross-sections, then fused and blown to create a vibrant mosaic effect. A hot-applied cobalt rim frames the shade, which rests on a cobalt-blue glass stem and polished black glass base. The Neverrino line is documented in Vistosi: Arte e magia del vetro (Arcari/Maggiolo) and was produced in a variety of formats — table, wall, ceiling, and floor lamps — well into the 1980s. This example, with its glass stem and base, represents a later execution of the iconic design. A collectible piece of Murano glass lighting and a rare opportunity to acquire a documented Murano design icon, blending Gae Aulenti’s postmodern vision with the timeless artistry of Murano murrine glass.
