The collection includes a bookcase, console, table, room divider and wall decorations, which all put [baked glass in the spotlight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cassina-2). Each piece pays homage to Murano glass and the natural landscape surrounding the Venetian island for a pleasing touch of [Italian artwork for the home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marea-collection). The Arte Veneziana 'MELT' collection offers an alternative take on [mirrored and glass housewares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-collection), which each showcase an intentionally rustic form with silvered shades of brown.
