Venetian Stories

Veranda’s radiant 2025 story, “Mood of the Moment,” a curated palette of luminous yellows brings together timeless craftsmanship and modern charm. Among the standout pieces is the Istranka glass by Giberto Venezia—its delicate form and sunlit hue adding a note of Venetian refinement to the golden tableau. Paired with rich silks from Zoffany and Nobilis, Haviland porcelain, and sparkling Rosenthal service, the setting evokes the opulence of Sir John Soane’s interiors and Nancy Lancaster’s love for saturated warmth. A celebration of glow, glamour, and golden touches.

Earlier this year Giberto opened its first bricks- and-mortar outlet, on Venice’s Rialto Bridge, to great fanfare. For the past 10-odd years, founders Giberto Arrivabene Valenti Gonzaga and his wife, Bianca, had sold their beautifully crafted glassware, made on the nearby island of Murano, online and from their appointment- only studio in Venice. But now lucky buyers can wander into the shop and get tactile with the colours and craftsmanship. In keeping with its contents, the boutique is jewel-like and exqui- sitely designed. And while Giberto is perhaps best known for its water and wine glasses, it also creates striking large photo frames
