Lunardelli Venezia – The Evolution of Contemporary Craftsmanship
Lunardelli Venezia represents the evolution of artisan craftsmanship into a modern company that embodies the essence of Made in Italy. Rooted in the unique heritage of Venice, its creations reflect the city’s history, architecture, and its delicate balance between water and sky, sustainability, and innovation.
A Legacy of Family and Craftsmanship
Lunardelli Venezia was born from the experience of Lunardelli Est. 1967, a historic Venetian woodworking company specializing in custom carpentry for construction and interiors, founded by Angelo Lunardelli, an expert in the restoration of Venetian palaces. Angelo passed his craft, work ethic, and spirit of innovation to his children, Agnese and Sebastiano, who transformed this expertise into a project that combines centuries-old know-how with a modern, sustainable approach. Today, Lunardelli Venezia creates high-quality furnishings that embody Italian excellence in a technologically advanced and ever-evolving market.
Venice as Inspiration, Innovative Design
The company’s designs, developed in collaboration with historic companies and creative talents, merge digital technologies with traditional craftsmanship. Inspired by the Venetian landscape, the collections narrate the labyrinthine urban fabric, Byzantine domes, transitions between water and stone, and the colors of the lagoon.
Sustainability as a Guiding Principle
At the heart of Lunardelli Venezia is a commitment to sustainable production that minimizes waste, values handmade craftsmanship, and prioritizes the use of natural and reclaimed materials. Key materials include:
- Bricola wood, salvaged from Venetian mooring posts.
- Murano glass, emblematic of Venice’s rich artisanal heritage.
- Soprarizzo velvet, crafted by Tessitura Luigi Bevilacqua, a symbol of Italian textile excellence.
