Ando Time
A sculptural object can become more than a measure of time — it can bring glass, architecture, and movement into one collectible form. The Ando Time Hourglass Sculpture by Tadao Ando for Venini reflects this idea through a refined composition of geometric lines, colored glass, and exceptional Murano glass craftsmanship. Created in blown Venetian glass, each piece features two colored glass chambers within a prismatic outer form, with dark sand flowing through a precise central connection.
Designed by renowned architect Tadao Ando, the Ando Time collection explores the relationship between space and time through clean architectural structure and balanced proportions. The contrast between the transparent exterior, colored inner cylinders, and flowing sand creates a quiet sense of motion, while titanium detailing adds a subtle reference to fine clockmaking and reinforces the object’s technical precision.
Produced as a limited edition of 49 pieces per color, this Venini Murano glass hourglass sculpture is both a collectible work of Italian art glass and a refined piece of luxury home decor. Combining complex Murano glassmaking techniques, contemporary design, and timeless symbolism, Ando Time brings architectural elegance and artistic depth to sophisticated interiors.
