It looks soft, but its not; its glass. The optical illusion of Monofiori by VENINI from 1970 lies in its name: Balloton, a special technique that lends a unique matelasse effect to the surface. The piece is handcrafted using traditional metal molds and adorned with a hot-applied line in contrasting colours on the top of the narrow neck, for a finishing touch that makes a difference
