Guided by gratitude

To be in Venice is to be in a constant state of wonder. Here, beauty is not something you seek; it finds you. It surrounds you in a way that quietly alters your expectations. After a while, the mind begins to move differently. You notice patterns in the water, the way sound travels through the calles, how colors transform as light shifts. As your senses sharpen, awe becomes a steady companion. Living in such a place trains the mind to expect beauty, to look for it instinctively, even in the simplest of moments.

Gratitude, then, feels less like an emotion and more like a stance toward life. It is not a reaction, but a perspective, a lens through which we try to observe the world. It is a way of being, a quiet discipline rooted in the understanding that even the smallest detail can offer something worth holding on to. There is always something to be grateful for. Beauty is ever present; the task is simply to recognize it. 

In our workshop, this is the spirit that guides our hands and shapes our craft. The rhythm of Venice encourages us to slow down, to observe, to let materials speak in their own time. Small moments become quiet sources of inspiration, and in that space, we continue to rediscover the joy of creating objects that spark a sense of delight, pieces that feel at once familiar and unexpected. These new works are not departures, but continuations of a long conversation between light, material, and memory, crafted with the same reverence for beauty that has guided us for generations. 

As the season deepens, we remain grateful for the chance to make things that bring a bit of Venice into the world. They are our way of sharing the gratitude we feel for our craft, for the place that sustains it, and for the people who welcome these creations into their lives.
