Ad Astra - Florence

AD ASTRA - FLORENCE

Seven rooms in the Torrigiani al Campuccio palace in the center of Florence, are overlooking the largest private garden in Europe. That's where the project of an architect, Francesco Maestrelli, and a lawyer, Matteo Perduca, design and eclectic furnishings addicted, lead to the creation of the particular hotel Ad Astra. The atmosphere of the historic house is brightened and colored by contemporary objects with a vintage taste; Brass Brothers spotlights and wall lights alternate with lamps created 'ad-hoc' finding materials and prototypes in the Il Bronzetto warehouse.

CREATIVE SOLUTIONS

Creativity is the key of this small pop art hotel where the idea of combining many objects found in vintage shops and antique markets, happily coexists with the respect for the artisan tradition and the experience in the custom-made of Il Bronzetto craftsmen. The Wormhole table lamp matches to the color palette of the suite, thanks to the customized lampshades and the bases, available in numerous color variations of the marble base.

FIFTIES

The Satellite line chandelier and the appliques by Brass Brothers & Co. light up the mid-Century atmosphere of the pink suite and give a modern soul to a noble palace and its architecture.


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.
