Villa Cora Hotel - Florence

VILLA CORA HOTEL - FLORENCE

Villa Cora is located in a centuries-old park that overlooks the Boboli Gardens, on the hills just outside the historical center of Florence. As one of the most famous XIX century florentine aristocratic residences, after many changes of ownership, Villa Cora became a Grand Hotel in the late sixties. In 2010 Villa Cora has undergone a major restoration, which lasted 3 years, during which Il Bronzetto was chosen as a supplier for the lighting solutions.

DECORATIVE ECLECTISM

The Villa is dominated by a strong eclectic, sometimes even bizarre, decor and artistic styles, which are often inspired by the famous characters who stayed there. One of them was the Japanese Emperor Hirohito, to whom the imperial suite is dedicated, the love for roses comes from Princess Eugenia, wife of Napoleon III, and you can also find a passion for the Eastern world and for the fifties.

STYLE COHERENCE

Various were the artworks commissioned to the workshop of Il Bronzetto which created wonderful lighting solutions by reproducing chandeliers, floor lamps (175) and wall lamps based on archive images and client's projects, reaffirming the importance of maintaining the unique style of each room and suite.

 

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.
