Clessidra glass hourglass 420.06

Fulvio Bianconi and Paolo Venini envisioned the Clessidra glass hourglass as a poetic embodiment of time itself—an object where artistry and fleeting moments converge. With its slender, symmetrical silhouette and dual-colored bands seamlessly fused through the Incalmo technique, Clessidra transforms the simple passage of sand into a mesmerizing visual ballet. Each glance invites quiet contemplation, as the glass captures and refracts light, creating an atmosphere of serene elegance in any modern setting.

Meticulously hand-blown from Murano glass, the Clessidra glass hourglass measures Ø10 x H.25 cm and weighs approximately 0.8 kg, ensuring stable placement on desks, shelves, or display cabinets. Its tactile, smooth form is pleasing to hold, while the harmonious flow of color-coordinated sand adds a dynamic accent to living rooms, home offices, libraries, or luxury retail environments. Fully assembled and easy to care for, it stands as both a functional timer and an artistic statement piece, celebrating Italian craftsmanship.

The Venini Clessidra distills the essence of time into a pure, essential form that elevates any space.
