A Contemporary Masterpiece of Venetian Craftsmanship

The Patella Sideboard by Arte Veneziana, designed by renowned artist Leo De Carlo, is a celebration of Venetian artistry and Murano heritage. Handcrafted in Italy, this piece is part of the prestigious MELT Collection, a tribute to the fluid beauty of water and the ever-changing reflections of the Venetian lagoon. Each Patella is an exclusive work of art, meticulously sculpted from molten glass, capturing the soft, organic irregularities born from traditional glass casting techniques. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, it exemplifies Arte Veneziana’s commitment to timeless craftsmanship and contemporary innovation.

Lagoon Reflections in Baked Glass

At first glance, the Patella Sideboard evokes the tranquil essence of the Venetian lagoon. Its double-layered, baked glass doors feature irregular contours and are hand-finished with Arte Veneziana’s ‘Forest’ texture, enhanced by a silvered, medium antique effect that brings depth and iridescence to every surface. The wooden frame, finished in a glossy bottle-green lacquer, harmonizes with the luminous tones of the glass, creating a refined balance between materiality and light. The interior, fitted with an extra-clear glass shelf and illuminated by subtle LED lighting, transforms the Patella into both a functional storage piece and a captivating light sculpture.

A Bespoke Expression of Italian Elegance

Every detail of the Patella Sideboard speaks of exclusivity and artisanal excellence. From the careful layering of color, silver, and primer that defines its radiant finish, to the sculptural silhouette that recalls nature’s organic rhythms, this sideboard blurs the boundaries between furniture and art. Measuring W.154 cm × D.56 cm × H.80 cm, it stands as a bold statement piece for sophisticated interiors—whether gracing a penthouse in New York or a villa overlooking Lake Como. The Patella embodies the essence of Made in Italy luxury: a fusion of innovation, tradition, and poetic design that transforms any space into a gallery of contemporary elegance.

SLeo De Carlo

ARTE VENEZIANA

In the world of bespoke Italian furniture, Arte Veneziana stands as a paragon of artistry, tradition, and innovation. From its atelier in Venice, the brand continues to redefine the boundaries of craftsmanship — merging centuries-old techniques of glass engraving and mirror making with a distinctly contemporary aesthetic. Every piece is meticulously handmade, carrying within it the essence of Venice — its reflections, its poetry, and its enduring dialogue between art and function. Arte Veneziana’s creations grace prestigious addresses from Cannes to Las Vegas, from Moscow to the Four Seasons in Milan, offering not just furniture, but living expressions of Venetian artistry.

Amid this legacy of excellence, Leo De Carlo emerges as one of the most evocative voices in contemporary design. Born in Venice in 1972, De Carlo embodies the city’s creative duality — ancient yet avant-garde, delicate yet daring. After earning his degree in Industrial Design from the Milan Polytechnic in 1998, he refined his sensibility under the visionary Philippe Starck in Paris, collaborating on projects that spanned furniture, lighting, and interiors. Returning to his native Venice, De Carlo established his own studio, where he began exploring the intersection of material experimentation and emotional narrative — a design philosophy deeply rooted in his surroundings.

It is this intimate relationship with Venice that inspired the creation of the Patella Sideboard for Arte Veneziana’s MELT Collection. Drawing from the lagoon’s shifting palette — the silvers of dawn, the greens of still water, the deep blues of twilight — De Carlo conceived a sideboard that mirrors the atmospheric moods of his city. The piece’s molten glass doors, with their irregular contours and layered Forest finish, emulate the unpredictable fluidity of water. Each surface glows with silvery reflections, handcrafted by Arte Veneziana’s master artisans, revealing a luminous depth that changes with the light. The bottle-green lacquered wood frame and softly diffused LED interior lighting complete the composition — a modern ode to nature’s serenity rendered through Venetian artistry.

At the heart of Arte Veneziana lies a profound reverence for craftsmanship and the human touch. For nearly five decades, the brand has been nurturing the ancient art of Venetian glassmaking, guided by a philosophy that values individuality over uniformity. Each creation is born from the hands of seasoned artisans — masters of engraving, silvering, and decorative artistry — who treat furniture as haute couture for interiors. Every mirror, sideboard, and chandelier is singular, embodying a balance between technical mastery and soulful imperfection. Arte Veneziana’s mission is not merely to preserve tradition but to elevate it, ensuring that every piece, like the Patella Sideboard, transcends functionality to become a timeless work of art — one that reflects Venice’s enduring spirit of beauty, ingenuity, and grace.

A contemporary interpretation of Venetian craftsmanship, the Patella Sideboard by Arte Veneziana brings together the ethereal elegance of molten Murano glass and the modern sophistication of handcrafted design. Conceived by Leo De Carlo for the MELT Collection, this piece captures the reflective beauty of the Venetian lagoon through baked glass and antique silver finishes. To assist in seamlessly integrating the Patella Sideboard into refined interiors, the following placement and styling guidelines are recommended.

Grand Living and Lounge Areas:

  • Placement: Position the Patella Sideboard along a main wall in a contemporary living room or formal lounge where it can serve as both a statement and a storage piece. Its iridescent baked glass finish reflects ambient light, giving depth and dimension to expansive spaces.

Refined Dining Settings:

  • Placement: Place it against a neutral or softly textured wall in a dining area to complement polished dining tables and crystalware. The LED-lit interior enhances glassware displays, making it ideal for hosting or elegant evening dining.

Art-Inspired Hallways or Foyers:

  • Placement: Showcase the Patella as an art object in spacious hallways or entry foyers. Paired with a large Venetian mirror or sculptural lighting overhead, it creates an immediate impression of refined taste and cultural sophistication.

Boutique Office or Study:

  • Placement: In executive or creative studios, the Patella’s reflective surface adds light and tranquility. Its sleek bottle-green lacquer finish harmonizes with dark woods, brushed metals, or marble floors for a serene, confident aesthetic.

Style Tips:

  • Play with Light and Reflection: The Patella thrives on illumination. Position it near natural light sources or under soft directional spotlights to accentuate the interplay between the silvered glass and glossy lacquer frame.
  • Minimal Adornments for Maximum Impact: Limit surface décor to a few sculptural objects — such as a Murano glass vase or a single piece of modern art — to allow the sideboard’s luminous finish to remain the visual focus.
  • Balancing Textures: Introduce tactile contrast with velvet-upholstered seating, silk drapery, or boucle rugs. These soften the reflective surfaces and add depth to the overall composition.
  • Ambient Harmony: The integrated LED lighting can be used to create a moody evening glow. Pair it with wall sconces or a chandelier in antique brass or smoky glass to echo the Patella’s tonal palette.

A Curated Styling Tip for Special Effect

For a striking juxtaposition of modern artistry and timeless craftsmanship, style the Patella Sideboard alongside the Leblon Delienne Mickey Take2 by Kelly Hoppen in Black & Gold. The sculpture’s matte black body and shimmering golden ears echo the Patella’s interplay of depth and light, creating a playful yet sophisticated visual dialogue. Together, they form a luxurious composition — bold, contemporary, and undeniably captivating.

The Patella Sideboard is a one-of-a-kind creation designed by Leo De Carlo for Arte Veneziana’s MELT Collection. Each piece is handcrafted in Venice using molten glass techniques inspired by Murano’s age-old traditions. The doors feature baked glass with irregular edges, silvered with a medium antique finish, giving every sideboard a distinct identity.

Designer Leo De Carlo drew inspiration from the ever-changing hues and reflections of the Venetian lagoon. The Patella’s flowing form and iridescent baked glass surfaces mirror the tranquil yet dynamic nature of water. The layered Forest finish evokes the chromatic transitions seen across the lagoon at different hours of the day, making the piece both a poetic and sculptural interpretation of Venice itself.

The Patella Sideboard serves as a focal point in sophisticated interiors. Its sculptural glass doors shimmer beautifully under natural or soft ambient lighting, making it ideal for living areas, dining spaces, or art-inspired lounges. The integrated LED interior lighting enhances its allure in evening settings, while its bottle-green lacquered frame complements neutral tones, marble floors, and metallic accents — ensuring a refined yet expressive presence in both contemporary and classic settings.

To maintain the sideboard’s luminous quality, clean the glass surfaces gently with a soft, lint-free cloth and a neutral pH glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive pads or ammonia-based products that could affect the silvered backing. The wooden frame should be dusted regularly with a dry microfiber cloth. As a handcrafted piece, minor variations in the glass are natural and enhance its artistic character. For longevity, keep the piece away from direct sunlight and high humidity.

Yes. Each Patella Sideboard by Arte Veneziana comes with an Authenticity Certificate, ensuring that it is an original creation handcrafted in Italy by master artisans. This certification underscores Arte Veneziana’s commitment to quality, heritage, and authenticity — hallmarks that define every piece crafted within its Venetian atelier.
