Why this wooden gondola makes a difference every day

A wooden gondola decoration brings a bit of holiday feeling into your home. Calm, natural and with little effort. Instead of a printed motif, you hold a real piece of wood that you've decorated yourself. As a Venetian gondola decoration on the shelf, on a gift or on the pinboard, the motif tells of canals, bridges and a special moment.

Material & finish

The gondola is laser-cut from 3 mm thick plywood. That's why it has smooth edges and the typical brown rim, which gives the motif a fine outline. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. It takes paint, glue and oil well. As a natural material, every piece shows its own grain and shade, small knots included. This makes every gondola one of a kind. It's made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Good to know about the gondola

For centuries, the gondola has been the symbol of Venice. To this day, it is inseparable from the lagoon city. That's why the motif works so well as a memento of a gondola ride, for travel photo albums or as decoration for an Italian evening. One look, and everyone thinks of canals and bridges.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Simply keep the untreated wooden gondola dry and protect it from constant moisture. That way, the natural wood keeps its shape and looks good for a long time. If you'd like a more durable surface, you can paint or oil it as you wish.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the gondola or stick things on it? Yes. The wood is untreated and can be coated, painted, decorated or oiled. Ideal for creative projects.

Where does the brown rim on the edges come from? The gondola is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown rim. The edges are smooth and don't need sanding.

How tall is the gondola at the width I've chosen? For reference: at a width of 10 cm, the height is 3 cm. The proportions stay the same for all sizes.

Do all gondolas look exactly the same? The shape does, the wood not quite. As a natural material, plywood varies in shade and can show fine textures or small knots. Every piece is one of a kind.

This piece of plywood is about a moment. The moment you leaf through your photo album or glance at the shelf and you're back in Venice. Simply choose your size, single or in a set. Then decorate your gondola to match your memory.
