Among nearly 1,000 artisans, designers, and Italian companies represented by the renowned marketplace Artemest, Bronzetto’s Perpetua floor lamp has been selected to elegantly illuminate the international design scene. This extraordinary creation, a symbol of the finest Italian craftsmanship, now shines in the exclusive setting of the Artemest Penthouse by MAWD at The Greenwich by Rafael Viñoly, one of New York’s most prestigious residential towers. Artemest and the interior design studio MAWD have transformed the penthouse into a living gallery of Italian masterpieces, unlike anything else in New York.
Bronzetto: a legacy of craftsmanship since 1963
Bronzetto, a Florentine workshop dedicated to the design, production, and commercialization of high-end brass and bronze craftsmanship since 1963, has distinguished itself not only in lighting but also in furnishings and décor. With the Perpetua lamp, the company has created a piece that celebrates the natural beauty of water through the universal language of contemporary design.
Perpetua: a fusion of traditional craftsmanship and innovation
Inspired by the pure and essential form of a droplet, the Perpetua Lamp embodies the perfect balance between traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation. The hand-blown glass drop, available in clear or amber, conceals an LED light, while a brass decorative element, crafted using goldsmithing techniques such as chasing and hammering, wraps around the glass like a sculpted dress, enhancing its delicate beauty.
Available in smooth, embossed, and hammered finishes, as well as in chandelier, wall sconce, and floor lamp variations, Perpetua offers a unique and versatile interpretation of nature, perfectly aligned with Bronzetto’s eclectic and refined aesthetic.
Artemest & Perpetua: a celebration of Italian excellence
As a global benchmark for Italian design and craftsmanship, Artemest has chosen Perpetua as a symbol of Made in Italy excellence. With its distinctive design, this lamp enhances and elevates sophisticated spaces, such as the Penthouse, where the refined elegance of light tones blends harmoniously with the burnished amber finish of the brass. This prestigious selection reaffirms Bronzetto’s role as a key player in the international landscape of artistic craftsmanship.
"We are proud that Perpetua has been chosen among the many Italian creations represented by Artemest," says Francesca Amato, Marketing Manager of Bronzetto. "Not only does it fully represent us, but it also confirms the value of our artisanal roots and our commitment to exploring new design ideas. The Perpetua line was born from a collaborative project with the University of Architecture of Florence, as part of the Master's Program in Design, and specifically from the creative vision of one of its students, Valeria Giuva."
A timeless expression of Italian design
Perpetua, available in multiple configurations (wall-mounted, ceiling, and floor), as well as in various finishes and textures, embodies not only tradition and innovation but also Bronzetto’s ongoing commitment to celebrating beauty and quality—the elements that make Italian design truly unique worldwide.
