Although little information exists about the life of Italian designer and Murano glass master Giovanni Dalla Fina, his legacy shines bright through exquisite hand-blown glass chandeliers, table lamps, floor lamps, coffee tables and other delicate objects. Giovanni Dalla Fina Gallery specializes in restoring antique Murano lighting fixtures as well as producing new editions of Dalla Fina designs.
Based in Veneto, Dalla Fina had been introduced to the prestigious world of Murano glassmaking as a young man, before establishing his own design company in the early 1970s. Guided by his tenet “perfection is an imperative,” Dalla Fina specialized in the restoration of antique and vintage Murano glass chandeliers and lamps, while also crafting his own decorative lighting inspired by Art Deco and mid-century modernism.
Among Dalla Fina’s most notable pieces is his multicolored Ca’Rezzonico chandelier, which he created in the 1980s and which was recently featured in House and Garden magazine. This dazzling masterpiece of Murano glassmaking comprises a bouquet of floral motifs embellished with red and blue ringlets and clusters of tiny grape-shaped orbs. A more monochrome example is his intricate flush-mount ceiling light constructed from vertical layers of transparent Quadriedro elements arranged as waves.
While Dalla Fina’s oeuvre consists mainly of lighting pieces, he also made graceful demi-lune tables, refined Fazzoletto (handkerchief) vases and charming outdoor wall sconces, which he designed for the Camer Glass company in the 1960s.
Dalla Fina’s works are popular among interior designers and aficionados of contemporary Murano glass.
