The Craft Behind Our Glass

Every glass element in a Cherry Vintage Interior piece begins in Veneto, Italy, at Effetiemme—an independent artisan glass workshop in Salzano, near Venice.

Founded more than 30 years ago, by master glassmaker Mario Zanellato, Effetiemme combines the inherited knowledge of Venetian glassmaking with a precise, contemporary approach to lighting and interior design. Their work is rooted in the Muranese tradition, where skill is passed from hand to hand and glass is shaped through experience, patience and an intimate understanding of heat, colour and form.

The glass is not treated as a standard material. It is worked by hand and made to order. Depending on the design, the artisans use mouth-blown, cast, rolled and artistic glass techniques to create pieces with their own character, surface and play of light. The process leaves room for the subtle variations that make handmade glass so compelling: a gentle shift in tone, an individual curve, a texture that changes as the light moves through it.

An endless gem of Italian craftsmanship and aesthetics

This is the Italian craftsmanship we value. It is practical knowledge refined over years, combined with a feeling for proportion, colour and detail. Each glass element is made in Italy by skilled hands before becoming part of the lighting we select for your home.

The result is more than illumination. It is a piece of Venetian glassmaking culture, interpreted for contemporary interiors and made to be lived with for many years.
