Melt
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.
Melt Collection
Inspiring Melt
by Leo De Carlo
The MELT collection is a tribute to Murano's industriousness and Venetian lakeside nature. Inspired by glass casting in Murano's furnaces, through irregular fusion, MELT furniture takes on soft shapes and organic surfaces.
Through coloured veils and silvery reflections, achieved through the craft skills in Arte Veneziana, shapeless and iridescent objects come to life. The contemporary interpretation of a technique and a curious gaze towards an environment best express the protective spirit that the MELT collection represents.
Finishings
MELT tops are crafted by fusing double glass slabs of varying thicknesses. While standard non-tempered versions feature blurred, overlapping edges, optional tempered glass provides rounded edges and a uniform thickness upon request.
Venice is the city of mirrors, the city of mirages, at once solid and liquid, at once air and stone.Erica Jong
