Red is the most ardent voice of Venetian smalto, a colour that carries fire within. Opaque, dense, alive with intensity, red smalto transforms light into pure pigment, becoming one of the most expressive materials in mosaic craftsmanship. Once cut into tesserae, it carries the memory of fire and the mastery of the artisans who give it life.

In the Olivetti Store designed by Carlo Scarpa, architecture becomes a quiet dialogue with Venice.
The Venetian architect transformed a narrow, shadowed passage into a luminous space that opens gracefully onto Piazza San Marco, a modern interior woven with wood, Aurisina stone, glass, and light.

At its heart lies the Venetian terrazzo floor, crafted exceptionally with glass tesserae: a mosaic that reflects the city’s colours and embodies the intelligence of Venetian craftsmanship.

Every detail reveals Scarpa’s ability to merge tradition and innovation, turning this small store into one of Venice’s most refined architectural treasures.

Every shade begins with precise gestures.
In the , every morning the Master of Colour tastes the colour of the molten glass pressing, cooling, breaking, and reading its core, until the exact tone appears.

Only then does the day unfold into a choreography of nuances: two or three variations of the same colour, each shaped by fire, minerals and tradition are crafted every day.

After the blown sbruffi cool, their fragile bubbles are broken into small coloured glass discs, the “cartellina”.

These thin layers of glass will become the protective skin of the gold leaf: each cartellina is paired with gold using steam, creating the first luminous union that will later become a gold plate.

In the production of coloured gold mosaics, the hue of the “cartellina” determines the final tone, filtering the gold’s brilliance through shades shaped by fire, breath and traditional craftsmanship.
