Borgo Santandrea, Amalfi coast

MASTERS OF TWO ITALIAN ARTS

Inspired by the origins of the structure built in the 1960s, the owners of Borgo Santandrea wanted to create an Italian residence that would tell the spirit of those years with every detail and, at the same time, be an expression of accessible and sustainable architecture.

The interiors of the hotel are a hymn of "Made in Italy", many local and Italian workers and artisans who have been asked for personalized furnishings such as the lamps made by Bronzetto, customized, sampled and eventually produced to be perfectly integrated into the project chosen for the 5 * hotel and that required 4 years of work.

WHEN LIGHT IS PROTAGONIST

Thanks to the wide french doors of the rooms and suites, the view is left free to sweep outwards, towards the horizon, without interruption, so the internal lighting points have been designed to be non-invasive and to leave to natural light the space it deserves, the one as protagonist.

BLUE OF THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA

Blossom, Wormhole, Satellite and Urban are the lines of lamps that the architects of Borgo Santandrea have chosen for the suites. The Blossom Camelia, designed for Bronzetto by designer Piero Angelo Orecchioni, is available in the table and floor version, each element of this lamp with jointed brass arm and the vintage-style external electric wire covered in fabric (turquoise or red), is completely customizable.

Even the six lights Satellite 06 chandelier, as well as its table version, the Satellite 02, and the Sat 03 joint spotlight, are characterized by the blue color of the lampshade, respecting the palette chosen for all the interiors of Borgo Santandrea.

 

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.
