Donovan Bar, Bronw's Hotel, London Great Britain

DONOVAN'S BAR

In 2018 the Donovan Bar has been totally redesigned. The furniture has been inspired by photographer Terence Donovan, and it’s one of the most glamorous interior projects of the city. Belonging to the Rocco Forte Hotels group, the property chose Il Bronzetto to design new furnishings with a refined and unique taste.

GLAM OF THE SIXTIES

The bar has been redesigned focusing on glamour and playing with a super 'British' color palette: 'racing' green, gold, black and gray, which are reminiscent of Donovan's black and white shots. The contrast between opaque and shimmering surfaces, between light and shadow, recalls the lens of the camera. the worked glass of the table tops from Il Bronzetto's Timeless collection, shines with their inserts in gilded brass and the bronze base radiates with decorations of leaves.

VISUAL SEDUCTION

The Donovan Bar is well known as one of the most intimate and sophisticated speakeasy-style bars in London, often hosting guests from Mayfair’s elite art and fashion scene. The large golden half- sphere of the Soundlight chandelier creates the right intimacy and allow customers to choose their own background music thanks to the integrated double bluetooth speaker that can be controlled from any device.

When details become part of the project

This becomes especially clear in completed interiors.

At Villa Gli Arcipressi, in the hills of Florence, custom-made brass handles and knobs become part of a shared material language between architecture, furnishings and decoration.

At Villa La Marchesina, in Puglia, bespoke brass handles inspired by local fruits and plants connect craftsmanship, territory and contemporary design.

In the projects by Archicona Studio, instead, knobs and handles become tools for personalisation. Collections such as Oceano and Chalet introduce forms inspired by the marine world and the forest, giving each interior a distinctive identity.

Three different languages, one shared principle: the handle is not simply added at the end of the project. It is part of it.

Design and personalisation

With over 100 models of handles and knobs, Bronzetto offers shapes and inspirations suitable for very different kitchen styles, from essential geometries to more organic and decorative forms.

The finish also plays an important role, allowing each detail to create contrast, blend with the surrounding materials or stand out as a precious accent.

And when required, dimensions, proportions and details can be developed to measure.

Because choosing a handle means choosing much more than a function.

It means defining the relationship between hand, material and space.

After all, the character of a kitchen can also be recognised in the way it opens.
