Fountain Piazza del Carmine - Florence

FOUNTAIN AND SEATS - PIAZZA DEL CARMINE, FLORENCE

Il Bronzetto produces furniture specifically designed for outdoor public spaces such as squares or gardens or indoor such as museums. One public project is the fountain of Piazza del Carmine, one of the most characteristic square in the Oltrarno neighbourhood

ORA ET LABORA

The fountain, entitled "ora et labora" symbolizes the importance of Florentine craftsmanship in the Oltrarno district. It is a true work of art, generated by the creativity of the young student Leonardo Panchetti: three nails of different heights, which work as fountains for adults, for children and for dogs. The young creative won a competition promoted by the Municipality of Florence, which took place as part of the restoration project of the square. The rewarding contents were originality, feasibility and contextualization.

COST-EFFICIENT INNOVATION

For this project, Il Bronzetto team had to find solutions that would keep costs from rising too much, emlpoying traditional techniques as much as possible, and only introducing modern technology into the mix when necessary, like when it came to creating the heads of the "nails" where the basins are installed. Thanks to 3D modelling, the artisans were able to produce a single prototype and cut three heads all in the same manner. 

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.
