San Marco translates the golden shimmer of the Venetian basilica into a suspended field of light.
Each element is blown in Murano glass and lined with a thin layer of gold leaf, recalling the mosaics that cover the domes of the basilica. As the light moves, the surfaces glow warm and then fade, like tesserae catching the sun.
San Marco is composed rather than installed: domes, arcades and constellations are drawn around the architecture that receives them. Scale, density and suspension height are defined with the architect, so each installation becomes a quiet echo of Venice in the room.
Every piece is lined with gold leaf by hand: the warmth of the light changes with each one.
Standard compositions shown for reference. Each San Marco installation is tailored to the host space.
San Marco is designed for grand salons, hotel lobbies and private chapels: spaces that call for a sense of ceremony. The composition follows the volume, gathering under a dome or tracing the line of an arcade.
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.
