Petersham Nurseries La Goccia, London

LA GOCCIA, PETERSHAM NURSERIES

In the center of London, exactly in Covent Garden, La Goccia is the Petersham Nurseries group restaurant, that first mainly has created luxurious flower and plant shops and now expands in the restaurant business and in the sale of furnishings and home accessories.

METROPOLITAN EDEN

La Goccia restaurant is a true metropolitan Eden. All the furnishings, from the chairs at the counter, to the golden brass appliques, were created on commission by Il Bronzetto. And all these interior arrangements recall naturalistic elements. Leaves and real flowers are mixed up with those of the furnishings creating a relaxing and bucolic atmosphere right in the center of one of the most frenetic European cities.

NATURE AS SOURCE OF INSPIRATION

Sophistication meets rustic elegance in this unique space, with an open kitchen and cocktail bar. Nature remains the main source of our inspiration. The unusual leaf chairs are just one example of the meticulous details involved in the interior design of this restaurant.

 

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.
