Venezia da Vivere inaugurates the Master Artisans series with an exhibition dedicated to Lunardelli Venezia, a historic Venetian company specializing in wood design that combines artisanal traditions and contemporary creativity to create collections that tell the story of Venice.

Lunardelli Venezia creates collections of objects that combine wood with Murano glass, enhancing the dialogue between noble materials and artisanal expertise. The atelier offers a contemporary vision of Venetian craftsmanship through creations that capture the soul of the city. Conceived by contemporary designers and crafted by master artisans, the pieces take shape inspired by the history, architecture, and nature of Venice, with an approach focused on detail, quality, and design culture.
On display in the historic spaces of the palace are new creations and the company’s iconic objects, selected from the Laguna lines, which evoke the Venetian landscape and its unique nature, and Architettura, inspired by the city suspended between water and sky—furnishing accessories that reflect the city’s geometry, crafted using techniques and materials in continuity with Venetian savoir-faire. A suggestion: after your visit, continue discovering Lunardelli’s mastery at the nearby atelier in Santa Croce, at Calle Seconda del Cristo 2210/a, near Campo San Polo.
The exhibition takes place within the spaces of Palazzo Venart Luxury Hotel, a 15th-century residence overlooking the Grand Canal and home to the 5-star hotel of the LDC Hotels & Resorts group. Following a meticulous conservative restoration, the palace is now a space dedicated to hospitality and cultural promotion. With its enchanting gardens, one internal and one overlooking the Grand Canal, and the 2-Michelin-starred restaurant Glam, the hotel is a venue that welcomes international guests and the city’s cultural research, confirming its role as a landmark for showcasing Venetian excellence.
Three exhibitions, three materials, three visions of contemporary craftsmanship in Venice.
Three events to illustrate know-how as language and identity, through the work of Lunardelli Venezia, Anita Cerpelloni, and Tessitura Luigi Bevilacqua.
Anita Cerpelloni – Paper Tells a Story
From May 13 to June 13, 2025
The second event at Palazzo Venart is dedicated to paper and the work of architect Anita Cerpelloni. Her works, including sculptures and lamps, sit between art and craft, using the material as a narrative surface.
Each element is the result of a slow, manual process in which the gesture transforms the fragility of the material into a visual structure.
Antica Tessitura Luigi Bevilacqua
From October 21 to November 21, 2025
The series concludes with an exhibition celebrating 150 years of activity by the historic Tessitura Luigi Bevilacqua.
Velvets, damasks, and lampas tell the story of the company through historic fabrics and contemporary accessories, in a journey that highlights the continuity of Venetian textile knowledge. The exhibition is part of the Venice Recraft Fashion Week program.
Master Artisans is a project conceived and curated by Venezia da Vivere.
