22 Oct Meet the Visionaries Behind VeniceM
VeniceM
Melissa Lunardi & Massimo Tonetto
VeniceM – A name, a new name…
The name of the newest and most exciting Italian decorative lighting range in years.
The finest in Italian craftsmanship, where tradition methods of hand finishing metallic surfaces meet modernity in a harmonious dance of texture and light.
Behind each masterpiece are two visionary designers—Melissa Lunardi and Massimo Tonetto—whose combined talents have shaped VeniceM and established the brand as the bench mark for all others in just 10 short years.
Melissa Lunardi – The Creative Visionary
The creative pulse of VeniceM, Melissa Lunardi, brings an unparalleled sense of artistry to every design, merging contemporary elegance with the deep-rooted traditions of Italian craftsmanship. To Melissa, lighting is not merely a decorative accessory—it’s a transformative force that defines space, creating mood and atmosphere with every glow.
Melissa’s magic shines through VeniceM’s use of handcrafted materials, from burnished brass to luxurious glass finishes. Take, for instance, the Doma Wall Lamp—a symphony of Murano glass bell shades and metal tubular arms, where ethereal elegance meets structural precision. Every piece under her watchful eye becomes a timeless investment, a testament to her unwavering commitment to beauty and durability.
Massimo Tonetto – The Master of Minimalist Elegance
Counterbalancing Melissa’s emotive creativity is the minimalist genius of Massimo Tonetto. Known for his geometric precision and mastery of form, Massimo’s work complements and contrasts Melissa’s more expressive designs. With a focus on clean lines and an almost architectural approach to lighting, Massimo creates pieces that are sculptural yet effortlessly functional.
His signature touch is exemplified in the Bissa Suspension Lamp, where the delabré brass structure offers a soft, diffused light, transforming any interior into a tranquil retreat. Massimo’s meticulous attention to proportion and the interplay of light and shadow results in lighting that doesn’t just illuminate but breathes life into space. His designs, like all great art, are an experience—both visual and sensory.
Melissa and Massimo have curated a collection that transcends trends, standing as a beacon of authentic design, innovation, elegance, and enduring craftsmanship.
At Gineico Lighting, we are proud to be the exclusive distributors for VeniceM lighting in Australia. We invite you to explore these extraordinary creations—crafted with passion, precision, and an unwavering fixation on every detail.
What sets VeniceM apart is its reverence for material. Every design is brought to life through authentic design genius and the careful selection of the finest materials—burnished brass, satin finishes, and the iconic Murano glass. These elements work together to elevate the lighting experience into something truly extraordinary.
Consider the Optical Suspension Lamp, where the delicate Murano glass trihedron floats within a burnished brass frame, casting a soft, linear light that enhances any room with its understated elegance. It’s this dedication to material integrity and sustainable design that makes VeniceM’s pieces timeless, a reflection of the brand’s unwavering commitment to quality and innovation.
