Our Italian production atelier

Since nearly the beginning of the brand, we have been working alongside Franco, the founder of our Italian production atelier. Established in 1997 by Franco Cesarotto in the province of Padua, Venetian Style was born from his deep professional pride and profound love for his homeland.

Franco chose the name Venetian Style as a tribute to the remarkable craftsmanship of artisans from Venice and the greater Veneto region.

During the production of our collection, we visited Franco and his team in their modern yet small family run production atelier. We design and develop everything in-house with the artisans, preserving traditional techniques and expertise passed down from one generation to another.

"Transparency about material use and production are of great importance to me. Visit the atelier, meet the people there, see their craft up close and explore the surroundings. I believe it is of great importance to have direct contact with the people that make our products in the atelier. Everyone works in their own way and it is inspiring to visit those places and interact with the people at the studio."
