Versace and Venini – Blown glass vase collection

Last autumn, Versace and Venini partnered together to produce a new line of vases in blown glass.

The two companies recently announced two new styles in their exclusive, blown glass vase collection.

There has been a strong demand from home decorators for these historic pieces.  Home decorators truly see the value of Italian hand crafted workmanship, attention to detail, plus they have a strong passion for striking chromatic colors.

The first of the two new styles, utilizes the Pezzati technique to create Bulb, Melt, Round and Lantern vases. The Pezzati technique is a chromatic revised version of the very first piece of the collection, that was designed exclusively by Venini for the House of Versace.

The second vase style uses a ribbon design for the Globe, Cork, and Lamp vases. These are simple, yet over-sized vases that are be characterized by their vibrant colors and strict shapes.

Designed by Donatella Versace, the ribbon (band that buckles each vase) also serves as the distinguished symbol of the new collection.

Gucci is the flagship brand of the French luxury group – PPR. It is the world’s most coveted luxury brand according to a global luxury brands survey by The Nielsen Company.

In the latest survey, one in five global consumers said they would choose to buy Gucci (over any other luxury brand) if money was no option, making the Italian fashion brand that was revived by Tom Ford in the 1990’s the most coveted and aspirational luxury brand in the world today.

Chanel and Calvin Klein tied for second place in Nielsen’s 48-country global online survey, that was conducted in November 2007. In fourth place came Louis Vuitton, followed by Giorgio Armani, Christian Dior and Versace.

Two years ago in the same survey, Gucci also shared top honours in the survey with Giorgio Armani. But Armani has since slipped to fourth place in current global rankings.
