The Garden of the Holy Redeemer in Venice
For the first time in half a millennium, the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer – designed by Andrea Palladio as a symbol of the renaissance after the plague – opened its garden to the public, following completion of a meticulous architectural and botanical restoration.

Newfound tranquillity at the Redeemer
In October 2024, Tectona brought its eco credentials to this magnificent paradise in the form of Glenwood benches. The use of solid teak, worked with an elegance that transcends passing fashions, reinforces the brand’s vocation of embellishing historic outdoor spaces with objects that are not only pieces of furniture, but veritable havens of relaxation.
Glenwood benches are placed at strategic locations, offering not only somewhere to relax but the opportunity to enjoy landscapes of rare beauty: the water lily pond, for example, at the heart of the Convent Garden.

An invitation to relaxation
Glenwood benches along the outdoor paths represent Tectona’s contribution to this project, a metaphor for the cohabitation of man and nature at the service of design. The Venice Gardens Foundation has succeeded in restoring the former splendour of this unique site for work and meditation.
