Barovier&Toso
Venice, Italy
Calvi Brambilla
For centuries Murano Island has been the home of the most famous glassmakers in the world. On the banks of its historic canal, the Rio dei Vetrai, Barovier & Toso has created a real temple of luxury, a unique center where visitors can admire the majesty of their creations.
Palazzo Barovier & Toso is housed in an original Venetian palace dating back to 1920, located in Fondamenta Manin 1/D, a few steps from the company’s historic headquarters, carefully restored and restored by the architects Calvi Brambilla.
The building has undergone a total redevelopment of the interiors and the architects Calvi Brambilla – who oversaw the project – took advantage of an excellence of Italian design: the Olivari handles.
The handles used for some of the palace doors, are the Atena Panier with a gold finish. The Panier decoration takes up the classic motif of the guilloche tradition that alludes to the wicker weave of the baskets, expressing elegance and classicism.
