Island Of Murano In Italy Is Making History Once Again With A Veritable Temple Of Luxury
Prestige Singapore|August 2021
For centuries, the island of Murano in Italy has been home to the most famous glassmakers in the world. On the banks of the historic Rio dei Vetrai canal, Barovier & Toso – with a legacy that dates back to 1295 – is making history once again with a veritable temple of luxury.
Island Of Murano In Italy Is Making History Once Again With A Veritable Temple Of Luxury

Located just a stone’s throw from the historic seat of the company, the new Palazzo Barovier & Toso showroom is housed in an original 1920s Venetian palazzo, carefully renovated and sumptuously restored by Calvi Brambilla Architects. The space celebrates not only the revered glassmaker’s 726-year tradition of skills and craftsmanship, but serves as a showcase of its most exquisite creations.

Covering over 900 sq m over three floors, Palazzo Barovier & Toso is a unique experience designed as an ode to this made-in-Italy brand and the timeless luxury of the world-famous Murano glass chandeliers. The result is not just a showroom, but a carefully curated space in which Barovier & Toso’s magical creations transfigure a series of sophisticated settings to create a stunning, atmospheric experience.

“To create Palazzo Barovier & Toso, we envisaged a space in which past and present – the two essential elements of the company – could coexist,” says Paulo Brambilla, co-founder of Calvi Brambilla Architects. “We have found a way to bring together a modern, minimalist interior design concept with the majesty of Murano glass, celebrating it in an atmosphere of calm, and filled with light and reflection,” adds Fabio Calvi, also the architectural firm’s co-founder.
