Venexia, designed by Matteo Thun, inspired by Venetian briccole for lighting outdoor spaces

Light as an essential component of the architectural project, to transform spaces into vivid atmospheres. So Panzeri renews its identity and the “story of light” after 70 years in the business, while remaining firmly anchored to the Italian manufacturing tradition. It has entrusted Matteo Thun with its third collection. After the Tubino indoor light and Firefly in the Sky for outdoors, Matteo Thun again collaborates with Panzeri on the new Venexia collection inspired by the briccole, the wooden mooring posts that are a feature of the city in the lagoon. Available in three suspension, wall and bollard versions, Venexia combines vertical and circular lines in a form that is both restrained and decorative. With a distinctive “mushroom” shape, the lamps come in different sizes and are available in Corten, micaceous grey or varnished wood with satin-finish brass accessories. Panzeri’s new stylistic hallmark, geometric and minimalist, both for technical and decorative lighting, also embraces Venexia, a warm and enveloping light for outdoor spaces.
