About VETVI
Interior design factory VETVI presents new solutions in the art of design and interior lighting.
VETVI: The Art of Interior Lighting
The idea of creation is borrowed from nature itself. The natural lines, refinement and perfection of the divine creation simply had to be realized in the hands of a professional. This is how an exclusive product came into being, reflecting the unity of human genius and the creative energy of nature.
VETVI is a full cycle production. The range includes: lighting (chandeliers, pendants, sconces, floor lamps, table lamps), mirrors, door and furniture handles, furniture, decor. Only natural materials and alloys are used in production: brass, bronze, nesilber, glass, ceramics. It is possible to customize each item by color and size.
The factory was established in 2020, and during this time VETVI has not only become a full-scale production facility with an extensive dealer network, but also a well-known brand in the world of interior design. Our products are used by famous designers in Russia and abroad.
The philosophy of VETVI – brand is authenticity combined with technological progress, which allows creating an atmosphere of harmony and an inexhaustible source of energy and inspiration.
By choosing VETVI, you choose to live outside the contexts set by fashion and create your own unique style.
Production processes
One of the main advantages of VETVI – brand is handmade work. No matter how precise a machine is, it cannot produce a result equal to human skill. The more complex the product, the more filigree the work must be and the more time it takes.
All stages are carried out only by hand. This means that from the drawing, where the novelties take their first physical shape, to the final polishing, the product undergoes hundreds of thousands of touches by the hands of our craftsmen. That is why each of them is made with a soul and filled with love for their work.
Meticulous manual labor – is the most important, if not the main element of our product's value.
Product Path
It all starts in the novelty department. Here, an idea is conceived, which is transferred into a 3d model. Then, in the wax department, a model of the future product is made of wax to be recreated in metal, glass or ceramics.
For the production of metal products, the finished mold is cast using vacuum casting technology for non-ferrous metals. We work with brass and bronze. We also make door handles out of nesilber.
If the product consists of different parts, they are joined using argon welding.
The final stages are cleaning in a sandblasting chamber, where the metal oxide layer formed during casting is removed under pressure with a sand-air mixture, and then the product is manually cleaned in the locksmith's department. Finally, the product is coated with a protective varnish and equipped with electrical elements.
Why does vetvi
choose brass??
- Brass is a type
of noble metals. - In the homes of the wealthy aristocracy,
brassware used to be so highly prized
that it was passed down from generation
to generation. - There are few craftsmen in Russia who know how to work with brass and create complex handmade items from it.
In addition, brass surpasses many materials in its physical characteristics: - it is malleable, which allows you to create detailed shapes; - it is durable and resistant to the effects of time; - and it is certainly beautiful.
The machining process itself is quite complex and high-tech and requires a lot of nuances to be taken into account. All of this is the reason for the high cost of the material.
And also the incredible beauty of the final product.
Glass work
The creation of lighting solutions is unthinkable without glass work. The combination of glass and metal is always relevant and gives a wide scope for creativity.
Two techniques are used at the VETVI Interior Object Factory.
- Pate-de-verre
In French, it means “glass paste”. It is a special technology of glass sintering that allows to obtain any sculptural forms of various textures.
The AGNI chandelier, the ARCANUM, CRYSTAL and FLAME pendants, as well as the STONE HEART and SOTI sconces are made in this technique. - Lampwork
One of the oldest methods of glass art originating from Venice. The technique involves working with glass by hand on an open flame of a burner. That is why each glass element turns out to have a unique texture. This is especially noticeable on the example of the RITM chandelier, where all the sticks are different and absolutely not similar to each other. And what may look like scratches from the outside is actually a unique pattern.
In this technique we also make drops for OLIVIA chandelier, glass elements for KOLOKOLCHIKI and GINKGO chandeliers and MAIZE pendants.
Ceramic production
At VETVI factory we use two types of material: earthenware slurry and English bone china. One of the main properties of bone china is high light penetration, so it is used in the production of lighting products.
Creation of lighting solutions is unthinkable without working on glass. The combination of glass and metal is always relevant and gives a wide scope for creativity.

What does the process itself involve?
A plaster mold of the future product is created, taking into account the texture and reliefs. After thorough drying, the material is poured into it. We wait for the wall to form, drain off all the excess, disassemble the mold. Then the product is processed, dried in a special chamber, and then sent to the muffle furnace for the first firing at a temperature of 900 degrees. Then we cover it with glaze and again put it in the oven at 1200 degrees.
