Villa Passalacqua, Como Italy

PURE ITALIAN STYLE

Villa Passalacqua is an historic residence overlooking Como lake and surrounded by elegant Italian gardens, dating back to the end of the 18th century. It was restored respecting the original style and the purpose for which it was designed and built: to offer a unique holiday experience in pure Italian style.

MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY AND SMALL ARTSANS

The De Santis family, owner of the property, worked with numerous professionals for the recovery of the villa at a structural level and to define its general setting, to then leave Valentina De Santis carte blanche for the furnishing project; to complete which she relied on well-known names in Italian furniture but also involving numerous italian historic craftsmen. Bronzetto had the honor of dealing with the most diverse requests from the creation of one of the most complex and impressive custom chandeliers ever produced by the Florentine laboratory: two meters in diameter decorated with hundreds of small golden oak leaves which required three months of work, to the smallest and most functional objects.

NOT ONLY LIGHTING

Passalacqua is an example of the Italian propensity to beauty and attention to details: from the logo with the three pike fish that Bronzetto has reproduced making an handle for the door, to the outdoor and spa lighting project which has an oriental flavour thanks to a special laser cutting technique that has been used for custom lanterns and suspensions. Another example of custom made product is the PALMIRA portable lamp in bronze and fabric, battery-powered, for the lighting of the tables set in the outdoor spaces, the top of elegance mixed with the modern lighting technology. Bronzetto has designed and made to measure a series of bathroom , rooms and restaurant 


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.
