PAL DEI DOGI was born from the idea to turn worn “bricole” (or “briccole”) into paintings, exclusive works and real pieces of Venice that can be taken home: through a special processing method, the “bricola” is cut up into sections and each layer is therefore different and unique. The artistic effect is due to the slow and natural action of salt water, sea breezes and the attack of shipworms, which are molluscs that feed on wood, creating amazing decorative shapes.
But also, glass, the best support and complement of wood: the transparency of this material, similar to that of water, highlights natural decorations and hidden details.

The process
Unique processing
SELECTION
Pal dei Dogi is the outcome of the selection and processing of unique pieces, inimitable because of their precious imperfection: their perforated and striped shape is the result of the wear caused by the water of the lagoon and, like scratched leather, certifies the authenticity of the product.
PROCESSING
Through a specific artisanal lamination process, the sheared “bricola” is inserted into two pieces of glass manufactured by experienced master glassmakers.
CREATION
In this way, an exclusive work of art is produced, which, with its water-like transparency, enhances the grains of this wood, which is none other than the soul of Venice.
Limited and Certified
To guarantee its originality and authenticity, the production identification number is stamped on the back of each Pal dei Dogi.
