A Venetian blind is a type of window blind made from overlapping horizontal slats that are typically lowered and drawn together by pulling a cord.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.dictionary.com/browse/venetian-blind | title=Venetian blind Definition & Meaning | website=dictionary.com | accessdate=11 December 2021}}</ref> The slats are typically manufactured using a rigid material such as aluminium, plastic, or wood and move in unison through a series of wires that run through the blinds.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Venetian blinds were widely adopted in office buildings to regulate light and air. A large modern complex in the [[US]] that adopted Venetian blinds was Rockefeller Center's [[RCA Building]] (better known as the Radio City building) in [[New York City]], completed in the 1930s. One of the largest orders for Venetian blinds ever placed was to the Burlington Venetian Blind Co., of [[Burlington, Vermont]], which supplied blinds for the windows of the [[Empire State Building]] in New York City.<ref>"—and in the Empire State Building", an advertisement for Burlington Venetian Blind Co., in ''American Architect and Architecture'', January 1932, p. 93.</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.uvm.edu/~hp206/2013/pages/hovanes/index.html | title=Manufacturing in the Maple-Kilburn Area of Burlington, Vermont | website=uvm.edu | accessdate=11 December 2021}}</ref>
In 1994, a design for Venetian blinds integrated with window glass panels was patented.<ref>{{cite patent|number=0589496|country=EP|pubdate=1994-03-30|title=Double-glazed windows with venetian blinds|assign1=BERTI Srl|inventor1-last=Berti|inventor1-first=Bruno}}</ref> This new type of blind overcomes the problems related to damaging and fouling. Usually, magnets are used for motor transmission in order to preserve the sealing inside the insulating glass.{{citation needed |date=December 2021}}
