Woven in Venice
A journey into story, craft, and connection.
Earlier this year, the Woven team traveled to Venice for a different kind of company gathering—one rooted not only in the work we do, but in the values that shape how we do it.
As a fully remote company, we deeply value the flexibility of how we work. Yet as a brand grounded in the human, the tactile, and the handmade, we also recognize the irreplaceable value of being together in person—sharing meals and stories, encountering something unfamiliar, and allowing connection to unfold beyond the frame of a screen.
Venice felt like a natural place to gather.
Built slowly over centuries, the city could not exist without interdependence: between land and water, preservation and reinvention, individual mastery and collective effort. Its beauty bears the imprint of countless hands. Its beauty is inseparable from the artisans, materials, rituals, and traditions that have sustained it through time.

We sought to experience Venice through the people, places, and living traditions that give it its character. On Murano, we witnessed glass transformed by fire and generations of practiced skill. At the Venissa winery, we encountered the revival of a nearly lost native grape and a philosophy of cultivation deeply connected to the Venetian lagoon. We sailed into the Veneto at sunset, shared cicchetti and spritzes, wandered, talked, laughed, and spent the kind of unhurried time together that remote work rarely allows.

Our gathering was rooted in story, craft, and becoming—values central to Woven and to the work we create together.
A single natural fiber may be delicate, but when joined with others, it gains strength, structure, and purpose. A company is woven in much the same way. Each person brings a distinct story, perspective, and set of experiences. Through shared work and shared purpose, those individual threads become something more meaningful than any one of them could be alone.

Our time in Venice gave us the opportunity to step outside the rhythm of daily work and consider the larger fabric we are creating together—the traditions we carry forward, the hands and stories behind the objects we make, and the kind of company we are still becoming.
What follows is a glimpse into that time, and the memories we brought home.
