Rebirth is not confined to the turning of seasons or the rituals of faith alone. It lives in something we all have access to, something profoundly human: the act of creation.

The muse cannot be forced to enter the space or sit beside us.

A designer’s restoration story reveals what makes luxury upholstery fabric worth saving—and how the right materials improve beautifully with age.

True luxury in interiors comes not from fleeting trends, but from heritage materials and design that deepen and enrich with time.

Every flower blooms in its own time, not at the calendar’s urging.

To be in Venice is to be in a constant state of wonder

The only constant we can count on is change. Some changes are so slow as to be imperceptible, others make themselves known all at once.

To seek beauty in a fractured world is an act of quiet defiance.

Our home, a floating city of contradictions living in serene harmony with itself, is built on the confluence of opposites.

Placed in the hands of skilled artists, colors have the power to tap into our deepest desires, evoke emotions, and even alter our perceptions.

The heart was built to hold the full range of emotions, but not all at once.

This shifting of light and dark is not only celestial; it is architectural.

Architecture is not just structure; it is memory made tangible, energy made legible.

On the occasion of Homo Faber in Città 2024, we collaborated with outdoor furniture brand Dante Negro.

We are proud to announce our participation as an official sponsor of Homo Faber 2024, an event dedicated to the excellence of contemporary high craftsmanship.

For the 75th anniversary of the Glass House, we partnered with the National Trust for Historic Preservation to replace the water-damaged fabric wallcoverings with a donation of the same fabric designed by Mariano Fortuny and selected by Philip Johnson for this historic project.

A platform that enriches Venice's cultural and artistic landscape.

Coloring skies and casting shadows with its ethereal nature, light permeates our lives, our existence revolving around this visual energy that reaches deep within us.

As we descend deeper into winter, the waters rise, the mercury drops, and the fog veils our surroundings. Yet every day, the light defiantly stretches a little further into the darkness, a gentle reminder that the waters will soon recede, the fog will eventually lift, and the mercury shall once again defy gravity.

For all the chemistry that Mariano Fortuny studied, no scientific formula could have prepared him for the reaction sparked by the encounter he had with Henriette Nigrin in 1902.

Among the most profound influences on our perception of the passage of time is our surroundings. Despite the common threads of island geography and multicultural heritage that Venice and New York share, time appears to unfold with markedly different rhythms in each place.

As the earth tilts to align the sun directly above the equator, daylight and darkness fall into a precise equilibrium.

By the time Augustus became the adopted son and heir of his great-uncle, Julias Caesar, in 46 BC, the Roman empire was in a state of decline and turmoil.
