Bronzetto creates bespoke products for the Velona’s Jungle Luxury Hotel, Florence
Various bespoke by Bronzetto products, an authentic sign of the encounter between beauty, artistic craftsmanship and unmistakable eclectic style. For experienced globetrotters.
In the historical centre of Florence, Velona’s Jungle Luxury Hotel is an eclectic and cosy space, ideal for curious travellers, collectors and exclusive experiences.
A refined luxury guest house where art, design and the typically Italian taste for antiques and all things handcrafted and tailor-made come together. In fact, the hotel’s original owner was an esteemed antique dealer in the Florentine world who, in the 1950s, loved to collect art objects of Italian and international origin, found and personally selected from the thousands of historical palaces in the European capitals he visited.
Today, in the hotel’s original and highly eclectic suites, traces and evidence of this passion remain in the careful combination of works of art by emerging contemporary artists, rare books, precious tapestries and fabrics and original decorative objects collected with passion.
Defining the atmosphere, however, are several objects commissioned ad hoc from contemporary artists and craftsmen, such as Bronzetto, whose precious supply of furnishing objects and lamps has undoubtedly contributed to giving an unmistakable style to the rooms of this hotel.
This extraordinary combination of tradition and innovation gives life to unique and luxurious spaces where guests can immerse themselves in the beauty of lush nature while remaining in the heart of the Renaissance city. Indeed, the design of the four suites draws inspiration from the lush jungle, its flora and fauna, creating an eclectic and enchanting atmosphere that ideally transports one to exotic destinations.
The mood of this hotel evidently derives from a wise and conscious choice towards a perfectly eclectic style: in the rooms of the Velona, objects and upholstery play, as a rule, an important role, expressing that impulse to furnish each room differently from one another, mixing styles and associating colours and shapes with audacity.
Today, therefore, with the works of art already part of the house, more recent works by emerging artists, upholstery and décor by the best-loved designers, objects, books and small details that have been chosen and collected with great dedication by the owners over the years, are integrated.
ECLECTIC by Il BRONZETTO: COLLECTION OF CUSTOMISED FURNISHINGS
To enhance the exotic jungle-inspired atmosphere, the owners of Velona’s Jungle developed a collaboration with Bronzetto to create customised lamps, furniture and accessories inspired by the Eclectic Collection.
The collection draws inspiration directly from nature with castings that faithfully reproduce the characteristics of various plants and animals in brass. Each of the hotel’s four suites, Livingstone, Darwin, Fossey and Durrel, feature custom-made lighting fixtures adorned with motifs of tropical plants, exotic animals and intricate jungle designs. These custom-made lamps not only fulfil their function, illuminating the space, but also act as veritable objects d’art, adding a tangible touch of whimsy and eclecticism to the entire decor.
