Shaded wall lights, picture lights and contemporary forms come together in the eclectic interiors of a Florentine home devoted to hospitality.
In Florence’s historic centre, Hotel Cellai welcomes guests into a restored nineteenth-century palazzo. Antiques, original artworks and vintage design create a distinctive setting inspired by the atmosphere of historic Florentine homes. Each room brings together different combinations, united by the care devoted to choosing every object.
Within this setting, Bronzetto contributes lighting solutions in a variety of styles: wall lights on vertical rails, picture lights and contemporary wall lights. This variety reflects the spirit of Cellai, where different periods and styles coexist within the same space.
Wall Lights as Part of the Furnishings
Wall lights with pleated lampshades flank decorative panels inspired by East Asian art. The brass structure extends along a vertical rail, while an articulated arm brings the light out into the room.
The design combines precise mechanical components with classical details. The pale lampshade creates an intimate glow and complements the warm tones of the panels, forming a composition in which lighting and furnishings share the same balance.
The brass connects with the frames, decorative surfaces and objects that give the hotel’s interiors their distinctive character.
Picture Lights That Guide the Eye
At Cellai, art is part of everyday life. Bronzetto’s picture lights highlight this presence through dedicated points of light, drawing attention to artworks and arrangements on the walls.
In the billiard room, cylindrical brass shades and jointed arms sit above framed prints. Their compact proportions leave room for the interplay between green fabrics, the red billiard table and vintage furnishings.
Light adds another layer to the room, inviting guests to pause over details, images and objects collected over time.
A Contemporary Touch Among Decorated Ceilings and Mirrors
Alongside traditional forms, Wormhole wall lights introduce a more streamlined profile. Their black bodies, formed by opposing cones, stand out against pale walls and complement decorated timber ceilings, large mirrored surfaces and gilded frames.
The contrast between these elements expresses the project’s eclectic character. The contemporary shape of each lamp connects with the furnishings and architecture, adding a distinctive graphic presence.
Interpreting the Identity of a Place
At Hotel Cellai, Bronzetto’s contribution demonstrates how handcrafted lighting can become part of interiors shaped by personal choices and unexpected combinations.
From pleated lampshades and picture lights to the lines of the Wormhole collection, each solution responds to a different need within the space. Together, they contribute to a style of hospitality that lets objects tell a story and gives guests the pleasure of discovering it.
