Gallone takes its name from the woven braid of Venetian passementerie and turns it into ribbons of glass suspended in light.
Each element is drawn from a thread of Murano glass and twisted by hand while still warm, so that it seems woven rather than blown. Along the curves the glass thickens and thins, catching the light in a rhythm that recalls the gold trims of Venetian palaces.
Gallone is composed rather than hung: ribbons, braids and fringes are arranged to follow the lines of the room that hosts them. Length, density and suspension height are defined with the architect, so each installation adorns the space like a precious trim.
Every ribbon is twisted by hand: no two curves follow the same line.
Standard compositions shown for reference. Each Gallone installation is tailored to the host space.
Gallone is designed for ballrooms, dining rooms and hotel suites: spaces that welcome a touch of ornament. The composition follows the architecture, running along a ceiling or gathering above a table like a ribbon of light.
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.
