Author light on the terraces of Sheraton Lake Como

There’s a moment, just as day fades into evening, when light becomes a story. And it’s precisely in that moment that the atmosphere of the terraces at Sheraton Lake Como comes to life — where design and nature meet in perfect harmony.

For this space suspended between lake and mountains, Il Bronzetto created custom “Cage” lamps, designed for outdoor use yet capable of evoking the warmth and intimacy of an indoor setting.
Each brass structure is handcrafted, with the kind of attention to detail that only artisanal work can deliver. The result? A soft, enveloping light — perfect for moments of relaxation and quiet conversation under the lake sky.

The lighting design was curated by Silvia Perego – In-Visible Lab, who transformed light into a sensory experience.
As she explains: “The night is silence, reflection, intimacy – and the light we add must protect that dimension.”
This light doesn’t intrude, it embraces. It doesn’t overwhelm, it accompanies.

The terraces become a space to be lived in at any time of day, where the beauty of the landscape blends with the comfort of hospitality and the warmth of carefully crafted lighting.

A project that speaks of more than just a space — it tells a story of how we choose to inhabit beauty.

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.
