Our products distinguish themselves for their high quality , refined beauty and careful finishing touches.

In the numerous narrow alleys of the magical city of Venice, it is always more difficult to find a laboratory where an artisan works.

But in the past the so called "botteghe" could be seen everywhere, and the master artisan was always surrounded by his pupils, who one day would have continued his art.

Nowadays the artisan is an individual presence which is becoming more and more isolated, but which still survives.
In a world dominated by the great industry, by mass production and the competition in the manufacturing in always larger quantities, the artisan continues to create with his own hands creative and original products; and therefore real artistic products.

The artisans professions in Venice have been passed on from generation to generation, and nowadays there are still some of them, although in a significantly reduced quantity, given the existence of more modern and efficient production processes.

As he cannot compete with the quantity and prices of the great industry, the artisan specializes in the refinement of the product, and distinguishes himself for the exceptional technical skill.

Only an artistic finishing of the production is able to isolate a part of the market for a more expensive but surely more refined use, demanded by markets of luxury.

But more than in competition with modern production processes, handicraft is a high-quality, distinguished part of the complex production and selling system of goods

The artisan knows he can count on the loyalty of his faithful customers.

But he fears that his work will have no following, as it is vary rare that young people nowadays are prepared to sacrifice their lives to learn this profession. Especially because it takes a long time to become a Master!
 

But we don't want it to all end.
 

We are with him, and we believe in the fact that work must be also human inventive.

Venelegance is particularly addressed to those people who have chosen to decorate their homes also with unique hand-crafted luxury furnishing, artistic pieces that are extremely expressive and filled with meaning, and which fit in perfectly with refined and elegant environments.
