A famous palace it’s now a Boutique Hotel

Bronzetto together with many others Florentine artisans were involved in the meticulous restoration

CasaG. is housed in the historic Palazzo Ginori in Rondinelli, once home to Paolo Lorenzini, better known as Collodi, author of Pinocchio, and headquarters of Ginori porcelain production. After years of abandonment, it’s now a Boutique Hotel, restored in early 2022.

Bronzetto together with many others Florentine artisans were involved in the meticulous restoration carried out by the owner, Filippo Montani della Fargna, together with the architect Cecilia Pantaleo. The concept behind Casa G.was to create a relaxing and peaceful environment, to blend architecture, design, antiques, art and collectable items. Furniture, lamps and textiles as well as the materials used for the bathrooms were created to give a sense of unity while collectable furniture and arts give the spaces diversity and uniqueness. A special thought was given to the well being of the guests: user friendly design, pale colors, soft materials, natural fabrics.

Brass brothers and timeless collections chosen for the restyling 

Satellite, Wormhole and Gea were the lamps selected from the Brass Brothers&Co. collection to add a touch of contemporary style in the relaxing atmosphere of the rooms and suites; the shades chosen were natural brass for the satellite and gea appliques and natural brass and black painted iron for the Wormhole ones. From the Timeless collection the evergreen floor lamp Studio422 is always repeated in the design especially in the cozy and relaxing living room.

The products

The small Gea 04 WALL LAMP replicates the soft roundness of the wall plate and lampshade typical of this line. Designed by a technological and IT mind, Michelangelo Moroni, one of the company’s founding partners, amazes with its spherical and unusual lines. Discreet and not bulky, this wall light is very suitable in series along corridors or as picture lamps, or on the sides of a bed for reading.

The wall lamp Wormhole 05, is the most chosen wall lamp for the sides of the bed both in private homes and luxury hotels; with its joint that allows to rotate the lampshade to 360 ° and its double lighting system, gives the ability to direct the light and create a warm atmosphere at the same time. With its ‘contagious’ design and bright colors, it is perfect for children’s bedrooms even in combination with chandeliers or floor lamps of the same line.

Floor lamp Studio 422, belonging to the line of the same name, made entirely of brass and customizable in finish, has a base and stem that recall the classicism of this type of lamp. The arm is curved and passes through a cylindrical joint up to the lampshade which can be manually oriented to direct the light where necessary.
