Prototypes, sketches and new ideas: Croissant project by MK Idées

From La Spezia to Paris. Mattia Curlante’s dream come true. 

An interior design studio specializing in the food sector. 
Bakeries, pastry shops, fishmongers, and gelaterias are the core business of this practice, which, year after year, has managed to establish a significant presence in the local market. 

“I am deeply convinced that a small artist hides within each of us,” writes Curlante in the studio’s website presentationthis is the foundational idea from which he began, aiming to offer clients personalized and unique retail spaces. 

“My work differs from traditional architecture,” he explains. “I myself am not an architectbecause here it’s not necessary to have studied architecture to work in interior design. I graduated from the Technical Institute and learned everything in the field, starting with my previous experience at a specialized company in Ceparana after returning from Australia. I carved out this niche for myselfmany of us work in this field herebut I focus on our strengths—an obsessive research into materials, the desire to propose new solutions, and to enjoy what we do. We are not the most famous for nowbut many of those who need to furnish a pastry shop or bakery come to uswe have become a point of reference.” 

A note from Il Bronzetto 

Studio MK Idées has chosen Il Bronzetto once again for one of its signature food-design projects: a brass hook shaped like a croissant, created for a new spot in the Ville Lumière. 
A playful detail handmade in our Florentine workshop—where craftsmanship meets creativity.  

We are proud that Studio MK Idées has chosen Il Bronzetto once again for one of its distinctive creations dedicated to the world of food: a croissant-shaped brass hook, designed especially for the Ville Lumière. 
A small object with great personality crafted entirely by hand in our Florentine workshop that reflects both the playful precision of Mattia Curlante’s vision and our enduring commitment to artisanal excellence. 

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.
