Founded in the late ‘70s by three women friends, Signor Blum sells artisanal wooden toys and decorations, many of which have a Venetian theme. Look for mobiles with gondolas, puzzles of the winged lion and wooden magnets of Carnivale masks, all in eye-popping colors. Located on scenic Campo San Barnaba, Signor Blum belongs to Do.Ve, an association of the most authentic shops, restaurants and bars in Dorsoduro. Also look for cards from Small Caps, a graphic design shop that makes gorgeous paper products.
