Soffioni
The Sophistication of Decorated Glass. Made in Italy
Arte Veneziana, for over fifty years, committed to pursuing the excellence of Made in Italy craftsmanship, wanted to give free rein to the imagination and creativity of its designers and craftsmen. That’s how the finishing section was born. It recounts about accurate studies with colour and combinations between traditional and new materials expressed in a new, contemporary way.
The inspiration comes from nature and its landscapes. The ever shifting variety of colours and shapes are the subjects of the painted glass walls, of the pen-engraved screens, of the finishes of our furnishings. Each finish can be applied in a thousand different ways. You can furnish a wall, cover a cabinet, decorate the doors of a bespoke closet or even apply the decoration to coffee tables or nightstands and, why not, also to chandeliers with a modern twist.
HANDMADE FINISHING
by Gianluca Ferreri
Inspiration
An elegant and airy streak like a brushstroke, the new Soffioni finish was created with the aim of making each and every environment welcoming and refined.
The play on color leads the gaze, creating depth in a scenario in which nature and contemporary space blend.
As per its Greek etymology “to put in order” or “tidying up” is a finish that completes the interior design in a mix of craftsmanship experience intertwined with tradition and modernity.
Materials
Extra clear glass, hand engraved with diamond pen in abstract artistical pattern, painted with dark blue color. Background black varnished with heavy antiqued mirror finish.
