Happy Pills Collection by Fabio Novembre for Venini

Italian Contemporary Murano Glass Art Objects

“Blue pill or red pill?” Inspired by the iconic choice in The Matrix (1999), Fabio Novembre’s Happy Pills for Veninitransform everyday design into a playful reflection on emotion, colour, and perception. These sculptural glass objects challenge the concept of usefulness — designed not to serve a function, but to evoke feeling, curiosity, and delight.

Emotive design and colour therapy
Each Happy Pill is a handblown Murano glass capsule, composed of two contrasting colour segments joined by master glassmakers using traditional Venetian techniques. Available in vibrant shades of blue, red, green, amber, white, and black, these pieces act as placebo sculptures, offering aesthetic joy as an antidote to the ordinary.

Craftsmanship and concept
Novembre’s design bridges art and psychology — hormonal chemistry influenced by material chemistry. Each piece captures Venini’s unparalleled glassmaking artistry while expressing a modern commentary on contemporary well-being and design.
