The optical illusion of Venini's Monofiori from 1970 lies in its name: Balloton, a special technique that lends a unique quilted effect to the surface. The piece is handmade using traditional metal molds and decorated with a warmly applied line in contrasting colors on the top of the narrow neck, for a finishing touch that makes the difference."
