Hotel de la Ville - Rome

HOTEL DE LA VILLE - ROME

The journeys of noble English offsprings to discover the fashion design of Paris and Italian archaeological treasures inspires the design of the Hotel de la Ville in Rome, another pearl of the Rocco Forte Hotels group. For this project, in a building only circa 100 meters from Trinità dei Monti, the Ziffer studio, designate by the Director of Design, Olga Polizzi, made use of the mastery of Bronzetto. Hotel de la Ville is another add to the contract projects of luxury hotels of Il Bronzetto. Giant bronze chandeliers have been created for the common areas of the hotel, such as the huge hall chandelier which, due to its dark colors and concentric circles, recalls the atmosphere of medieval castles.

ECLECTIC CUSTOMIZED FURNITURE

The chandelier designed by the architect Ziffer in the arabesque style of the yellow living room, is in gilded bronze with candles resting on 10-pointed stars and blue enamel decorations. The bronze castings, the golden and burnished finishes, are found also in the wall lamps, table lamps and ornamental inserts of the shelves. On the walls perfectly reproduced damasks and wallpapers, by magic of digital technology, from original antique prints and lithographs, can be found.

BLACK AND GOLD

The three chandeliers of the Mosaico restaurant have a mirrored parabola on their inside to reflect the light and black of the motif of the central crown. Each room of the Hotel de la Ville is a world of its own, each piece of furniture finds its perfect location.


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.
