Private Villa, Florence Italy

TUSCANY AND ITS ARTISANS

The craftsmanship dimension is the essential component of the whole project the ‘fil-rouge’, which finds its expression in the precious materials and accessories that personalize the rooms of the house. Suppliers were carefully chosen among local, Florentine or Tuscan artisan companies, creating exclusive relationships with them. Bronzetto’s artisans followed the customer by creating all the lightings furnishings of the house: from classic products such as the brass picture lamps, the most used the Studio 479, to the Studio 416 floor lamp, to the contemporary lamps of the collection Brass Brothers & Co. by Bronzetto such as the Satellite and Wormhole lines. 

IN BOTTEGA: BESPOKE PROJECTS BY BRONZETTO

With the support of the technical office and the Bronzetto’s special projects director, Michelangelo Moroni, the customer was able to transform many classic catalog products into truly unique pieces: a chandelier created for billiard tables, the Novecento 250 from the Bronzetto Timeless collection, it has been modified to become an outdoor wall lantern. This 'change of destination' of a product created for indoor and ceiling, in one for outdoor and wall, has involved changes such as the change of light bulbs with LEDs, the creation of an iron support for the wall and the special treatment of the brass to protect it from external agents, all processes were carried out manually within the Florentine workshop where the ideas come to life thanks to a continuous brainstorming with the customer.

VERY CREATIVE AND TALENTED CLIENTS

Creative is the key-work for the design of the garden's step lighting system: according to the client's design, burnished brass tubes with a 1-watt LED at the end, resembling 'taps', illuminate the pathway through the large garden like little fireflies.

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.
