Ca’ Riflesso by Artemest
Micheluzzi Glass takes part in Ca’ Riflesso, Artemest’s exhibition for HomoFaber in Città 2026. An immersive journey celebrating the excellence of Italian craftsmanship, with Venice and its artisanal heritage at its heart.
As part of Homo Faber in Città’s city-wide programme, Casa Sanlorenzo – the cultural headquarters of Sanlorenzo Arts overlooking the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute – serves as a key partner venue for Homo Faber 2026. Conceived as a permanent platform for dialogue between art, design and sustainability, Casa Sanlorenzo hosts two exhibitions during Homo Faber 2026: An Island of Light – one dedicated to the remarkable master artisans of Venice and the Veneto, curated by Artemest, and another presenting craftspeople from Luxembourg, curated by De Mains De Maîtres Luxembourg.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, with Venetian and Veneto craftsmanship at its core. Conceived as a house in the making, the exhibition unfolds as a place of anticipation, where objects and gestures linger in suspension, revealing a domestic landscape poised between presence and possibility.
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. Through Murano glass, sculptural forms, rich textures and contemporary design, the exhibition celebrates the depth, richness and vitality of Italy’s artisanal heritage.
This exhibition brings together more than 60 objects created by some of Luxembourg’s finest craft artists. Exhibiting in Venice means engaging with a city shaped by water and light, where reflections fragment, glide and transform materials in subtle dialogue with time. This intimate relationship echoes the essence of craftsmanship.
The Age of Enlightenment established a critical relationship with the world, grounded in observation, experimentation and the questioning of inherited knowledge. The artisan occupied a central place within this framework as a producer of knowledge through materials. Today, this legacy resurfaces in a different context, marked by acceleration, dematerialisation and a loss of contact with the processes of making.
The pieces selected for this exhibition stand as acts of resistance. In defiance of mass production and automation, each asserts its singularity, its imperfections and the slow, deliberate time of its creation. Within this context, light becomes a critical tool for revealing textures, tensions and the material intelligence of the artisan’s hand.
