Il Bronzetto is a reality that in addition to 'making art', and handing it down from generation to generation, has always supported it in all its innumerable forms and expressions. From the painting exhibitions organized in the spaces of the workshop to the sponsorship of the first Florentine festival dedicated to short films, our artisan laboratory rewards local initiatives that have the ambition to grow and bring waves of fresh and innovative culture to our territory, such as the collective 'IN-CHINI' organized by the students of the Florentine art school Leon Battista Alberti on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of the artist Galileo Chini.
The exhibition will be on display in the wonderful Villa Pecori Giraldi in Borgo San Lorenzo from 20 May to 4 June 2023.
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.
