REIMAGINING VENICE'S TREASURES...

In the heart of Venice, where water still carries the echoes of countless voyages, LA VENETIANA journeys through time — a narrative woven from the city's rich cultural heritage.

For me, Venice has always been more than a city.

A place where civilisations have met for centuries, where craftsmanship, history and ever-changing reflections continue to inspire artists, makers and travellers alike.

Following in the footsteps of the merchants who once travelled the Silk Road, I bring together Murano glass, precious textiles and collected treasures in unexpected ways. Along these ancient routes, I continue to discover inspiration beyond Venice through exceptional materials, each chosen for the stories they carry — from remarkable fabrics to vintage Japanese obi.

Every creation becomes a bridge between East and West, between past and present

— moving beauty forward.

THE ART OF COLLABORATION

CREATED IN DIALOGUE

Contemporary vision / Venetian Savoir-Faire

Crafted through dialogue, shaped by many hands.

The vision of LA VENETIANA is to imagine and create rare, distinctive pieces bringing together authentic materials, refined finishes and timeless savoir-faire.

Each creation emerges through close collaboration with Venetian maestri artigiani — masters of glass, textile and metal craftsmanship — whose gestures and artistry have been passed down through generations.

THE CREATIVE SIGNATURE

Turning imperfections into beauty

Seeking, transforming, creating the unrepeatable — from selection to creation.

The creative process of LA VENETIANA begins with a meticulous selection of authentic materials, artistic heritage and craftsmanship.

Murano glass, precious textiles and collected elements come together through an interplay of light, texture and form, where transformation, reinvention and innovative design take shape.

Traces of time, subtle imperfections and patinas are preserved as marks of singular beauty and authenticity, allowing each piece to bring its own character and presence into an interior.

INSPIRATION

LET THE MAGIC UNFOLD…

In Venice, dreams and reality dance like candlelight in an ancient palazzo. Here, enchanting visions illuminate the creative spirit, where beauty, light and enchantment quietly converge.

In the storied workshops of Murano, I discover glass treasures whose patinas echo the tales of generations past. Precious textiles reveal themselves through shimmering colours, intricate patterns and luminous textures, inspiring new journeys.

Between reflections and traces of the past, Venice becomes an endless source of wonder — shaping contemporary pieces that transcend time.

“Va dove ti porta il cuore” 

Guided by my love for Venice and lifelong passion for interior design and métiers d’art, I imagine creations where artistic heritage meets contemporary design.

Through light, texture and materiality, each piece is conceived to shape atmospheres — from softly enveloping to quietly theatrical — where elegance, emotion and enchantment emerge naturally.

Inspired by the poetic glow of candlelight, craftsmanship and artistic sensitivity come together in sculptural lighting and collectible objects infused with the timeless spirit of La Serenissima.
