Canton, the Venetian word for corner, captures the light that gathers where narrow streets meet and a hidden square opens up.
Each element is blown in Murano glass with softly faceted sides, so that light bends around its edges as it does around the stone corners of the city. The glass alternates clear and frosted surfaces, creating a calm play of shadow and brightness.
Canton is composed rather than mounted: lines, angles and clusters are arranged to follow the geometry of the room that hosts them. Proportions, rhythm and suspension height are defined with the architect, so each installation turns a corner of the space into a place of light.
Every facet is ground by hand: each piece bends the light in its own way.
Standard compositions shown for reference. Each Canton installation is tailored to the host space.
Canton is designed for entrance halls, corridors and corners of living rooms: spaces where paths meet. The composition follows the walls, wrapping around an angle or marking the meeting point of two volumes.
Our atelier works with architects and designers to compose each installation around the specific geometry, light and intent of the space. Please reach out to begin a conversation.
