FORTUNY + CHAHAN is an ongoing collaboration conceived as a living interior — an evolving dialogue between collectible design, contemporary art, and Fortuny’s textile innovation. Housed within the former residence of Countess Gozzi, adjacent to the iconic Fortuny Factory in Venice, the Palazzina becomes an immersive setting where contemporary works, exceptional design, and historical craftsmanship coexist in layered harmony, shaped through the singular vision of Chahan Minassian.
