This is bottegaD3sign in Venice
We are in the heart of Venice, a few steps from St. Mark's Square.
bottegaD3sign is a project that tells the story of Venice through design and craftsmanship.
In ‘bottega’, you will find a unique selection of handmade products that celebrate Venetian craftsmanship. Among these are original creations in reclaimed wood and Murano glass, contemporary jewelry intertwined with satin ribbons and ancient Murano glass beads, and an exclusive collection of vintage glass from historic Murano furnaces.
In bottega, we believe in giving value to materials. This is the true meaning behind the name bottegaD3sign. The number 3 represents the materials that define us: glass, wood, and fabric.
Glass. Murano glass is the protagonist of our creations — from ancient Venetian glass beads, to a carefully curated selection of vases and glasses by the most renowned Murano glassmakers, to reclaimed glass leaves found in old Murano warehouses, which accompany and enhance our wooden creations.
Wood. Wood is the material that defines our city. Venice is built on millions of wooden piles, and its canals are marked by the iconic bricole. Wood has also always shared a deep bond with Murano glass: in Murano furnaces, master glassmakers use pearwood molds to shape and bring vases to life. With the No Water Need project, we create unique glass and wood pieces using decommissioned molds from Murano furnaces and wood shaped by the lagoon and the sea, paired with Murano glass leaves. Each creation is born from the recovery and transformation of materials deeply connected to the territory, offering a new perspective on upcycling.
Satin. Another of our most appreciated products is our original jewelry. Long satin ribbons are patiently woven to give life to contemporary pieces, often combined with antique Murano glass beads. A unique combination that reinterprets and enhances ancient beads through a modern lens.
Since 2023, the year bottegaD3sign opened, we have taken part in a series of important events.
Necklaces from the Costanza Jewelry collection were exhibited at Venice Design Week 2020 and later at The Venice Glass Week 2024 with the Rosetta & Ribbons collection..
Our handcrafted glass and wood creations were presented during Art Night 2024 at Hotel Villa Pannonia on the Lido of Venice, where selected pieces are still on display.
bottegaD3sign also participated in the Salone dell’Alto Artigianato Italiano 2025 at the Arsenale of Venice, alongside a curated selection of Venetian and Italian artisans.
Finally, during The Venice Glass Week 2024—a week of exhibitions and events focused on Murano glass—bottegaD3sign showcased the No water needed collection in its shop windows.
bottegaD3sign is a member of Confartigianato.
bottegaD3sign has been featured in several articles and magazines, including InTime Magazine – Lineadacqua, in the “2 Days in Venice” column, which offers recommendations on art, shopping, and leisure, as well as in the German blog SonoItalia. In addition, the Feltrinelli guidebook “Venice” by author Nicoletta Rossi dedicated a section to our shop, placing it alongside other distinctive Venetian stores.
