Seats, Piazza del Carmine - Florence

Another project created by Bronzetto for external public space is "La piazza Seduta", a project conceived by Cosimo de Vita which proposes the creation of a seat to be placed in Piazza del Carmine.
Not a simple chair, but a place, an everyday reality that transcribes time and place to bring memory into a physical object.

Il Bronzetto worked with De Vita to create four backrests that replicate the façades of Florence’s four main basilicas: Santo Spirito, Santa Maria Novella, San Lorenzo (decorated with Michelangelo’s façade) and Santa Croce. While crafting chairs out of church frontages has long been De Vita’s style, the significance of the concept isn’t lost on this space, where religion has played a key role over the centuries.


ARTIGIANER
The Artigianer, a word play of the two terms artigiano (= artisan) and designer, Cosimo De Vita, designs the seatbacks, in brass and bronze, of the seats in the square. These seatbacks reproduce the facades of the most important churches of Florence. A work, created partly by the hands of the master craftsmen of Bronzetto and partly through the use of digital technologies (rendering, 3D models, numerical control machinery etc.).

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.
