| | | | Veronese continues its annual Paris Design Week celebration, a tradition since opening its showroom in 2019. This year's edition also marks Ruben Jochimek's first as President, following in the footsteps of his father. For the occasion, the Maison presents Daydream, an exhibition inviting visitors to step away from the pace of everyday life and enter a space shaped by calm and imagination, while unveiling ORSO, a new lighting collection conceived by Charlotte Biltgen and developed in collaboration with the Veronese design studio and its master glassmakers in Murano. Daydream takes its cues from ORSO itself. The collection's soft, almost weightless volumes set the tone for an exhibition conceived in the same spirit of quiet and imagination. |

| | | | "Our collaboration with Charlotte developed naturally over time. We had many conversations about design, materials, and light. The ORSO collection grew from our desire to work together and create a collection that combines simplicity, elegance, and softness. Her sensitive, organic universe naturally complements Veronese's design language." Ruben Jochimek, President, Veronese
At the heart of this newly redesigned space, Veronese presents ORSO, a lighting collection conceived by Charlotte Biltgen and developed in collaboration with the Veronese design studio and its master glassmakers in Murano. More than a new launch, ORSO marks a new chapter in the evolution of Veronese's design language-more organic, expressive, and sculptural, yet guided by the same precision and exacting craftsmanship that have defined its identity since 1931. |

| | | | A new showroom design revealing the world of Veronese Since 1931, Veronese has built its creative language around the precision of its designs and the excellence of Murano glass. Its mastery of proportion and craftsmanship has been shaped by an ongoing dialogue between French design and the Murano glassmaking tradition. That language continues to evolve. Dan Yeffet's Patchwork collection introduced a freer approach to material and composition, while ORSO takes this exploration further with rounder, softer and more enveloping forms-reflecting the Maison's creative vitality while remaining firmly rooted in its heritage. |

| | | | ORSO, a collaboration born from an encounter
Comprising a pendant, table lamp, and floor lamp, ORSO was born from the meeting of Charlotte Biltgen's creative vision and Veronese's glassmaking expertise.
Built from a library of glass beads in varying sizes, the collection creates volumes reminiscent of suspended clouds, with the metal structure receding to highlight the glass and light. Developed through close collaboration between the designer, the Veronese team and Murano's master glassmakers, ORSO is offered in a palette of ivory, coffee and amethyst, paired with a bronze finish that reinforces its timeless, sculptural character. "Since opening this showroom, Veronese has always sought to welcome visitors into its world, rather than simply present its objects. As President, I want to continue developing this vision-remaining rooted in our savoir-faire while staying open to the voices and collaborations that continue to move it forward. Charlotte has brought a new sensibility to Veronese, one that is softer and more sculptural. ORSO reflects our desire to continually push the boundaries of what is possible, evolving our creative language toward new horizons." Ruben Jochimek, President, Veronese |

| | | | A collaboration that opens up new possibilities
The collaboration between Charlotte Biltgen and Veronese grew from a shared sensibility for design, light, and material. To bring this new family of lighting to life, the designer naturally turned to Murano glass and Veronese's expertise. ORSO brings together Charlotte Biltgen's contemporary vision with the craftsmanship of the Veronese team and Murano's master glassmakers, pushing the possibilities of glass while staying true to the Maison's heritage. "Blown glass has always fascinated me because of its ability to escape control. In the fire, the material becomes almost alive and escapes the gesture before gradually finding its form. The master glassmaker guides it without ever fully constraining it. From this encounter between the hand, the fire and the material, singular forms emerge, in which the trace of the moment remains." Charlotte Biltgen, Designer "What I particularly love about ORSO is the sophistication of the white glass and the way it diffuses a soft, enveloping light, as well as the contrast between the glossy monochromatic beads and the satin-white 'Nuage' shades. We stayed as close as possible to Charlotte's original drawings, with precise proportions and an almost invisible metal structure that allows the Murano glass to take center stage." Alice Cabotse-Borde, Product Development Designer at Veronese |
