With its stunning architecture, intricate details, and luxurious amenities, guests arriving at the Venetian Resort are transported to a world of elegance and sophistication. Every moment celebrates history, beauty, and grandeur, and we aimed to capture this essence in our design.

While exploring Venice’s rich history and cultural identity, we discovered the fascinating story of Maschere and Maschereri. In the 13th century, Venetian masks were more than Carnival adornments; they allowed people to transcend social status and embrace anonymity. Over time, these masks became iconic symbols of Venetian culture, with the mask-maker’s craft celebrated for revealing, not concealing, one’s true identity. As the Maschereri say, "A mask does not cover but reveals."

Inspired by this cultural history, we infused this spirit into our design. Like Venetian masks, our coffee experience invites customers to reveal their true selves. Our muse, the Siren, embodies boldness, allure, and strength, encouraging self-expression.

Join us at the Venetian Resort, where the artistry of Venetian masks meets the essence of our coffee culture in a celebration of beauty, culture, and self-discovery.
