Ca’ Riflesso presented by Artemest at Casa Sanlorenzo in Venice’s Dorsoduro showcases the master artisans of Venice and the Veneto – the rich craft heritage that lights up the city. 

The exhibition is part of the fourth edition of Homo Faber Biennial, inviting visitors to explore the fundamental relationship between light, materials and the human hand. By manipulating light through the use of water, Artistic Director Es Devlin creates a journey that illuminates the world of craftsmanship, revealing how master artisans can use this life-giving energy as a tool to create wonder and joy.

This immersive exhibition brings Italian craftsmanship and heritage into the intimate setting of a home. The space is transformed into the imagined home of a refined collector, where furniture, lighting, décor and artworks by more than 40 Italian artisans come together in a layered domestic narrative. 

Inspired by the interplay of light, materials and human presence, Ca’ Riflesso by Artemest explores Venice through reflection, atmosphere and craftsmanship. Each room reveals a different facet of the collector’s world, from the luminous entrance and softly composed living room to the more theatrical dining room, contemplative reading room, intimate bedroom, and a terrace opening onto the city.
