A Textile Tribute to Venetian Heritage

Inspired by the Venetian landscape, the display system is a refined composition of surfaces and textures that embody the city’s soul. Walls are clad in fine Fortuny fabric, honoring Venice’s textile legacy while creating a soft, tactile backdrop. The material absorbs light and sound, adding visual warmth and historic depth, and elevating the overall experience with the subtle sophistication of luxury furnishings.

Stone as Architectural Memory

Central counters crafted from bush-hammered Istrian stone anchor the space, combining strength with understated elegance. Historically used in Venetian architecture, the textured surfaces provide a tactile reference to craftsmanship and raw materials. These stone volumes not only support displays but also create a grounded, harmonious foundation, enhancing the dialogue between materiality and space.

Sculptural Lightness in Metal

Custom display structures are crafted from metal with a bronzed brass galvanic finish, combining elegance and lightness. Integrated lighting is discreetly embedded within the frames, casting a soft, focused glow that enhances products and materials. Whether linear or curved, these elements adapt to diverse layouts while maintaining a refined and cohesive visual identity.
