Lametta (untitled)

Hand-blown and compressed glass

H 24.2 x W 17.2 x D 4.2 cm

This work embodies Laura’s distinctive
approach to glass and the essence of
what she sought to capture in her art. It
highlights subtle qualities often
overlooked in glass—nuances that
demand patience and careful observation
to fully appreciate.

It almost appears like a diaphanous block
of colored silk, yet light still radiates and
shifts depending on the viewer’s vantage
point. Laura often remarked that, given
the choice, she would have worked with
fabric. But she didn’t have a choice—born
into the Venini legacy, glass was in her
blood.
