The style of Palazzo Brenzoni

The restoration of the Palazzo Brenzoni residence in Verona was conceived from the outset with the intention of softening the rigidity that often characterises monumental buildings. The historical relevance of the building was therefore contrasted with a contemporary approach, respecting the significant decorative apparatus. The juxtaposition and mixture of styles in the interiors project has allowed for a more compelling and contemporary result. The historical decorative apparatus was therefore deliberately placed side by side with design pieces and contemporary works as elements of rupture. The concept of the interiors project therefore introduced a way of including pieces of furniture and accessories from the 1950s to the 1980s, iconic objects from an era deliberately different from that of the origin of the residence in Verona Palazzo Brenzoni.

Some of these objects with a strong iconic matrix, recurring inside the accommodation units, lead back to the world of opera (musical instruments), precisely because each flat has been dedicated to an opera (Otello - Carmen - Traviata - Aida - Nabucco - Rigoletto, Tosca), as a tribute to Verona's most famous tradition in the world. Other objects used in the furnishing of the units are a clear reference to the world of travel (the trunks, suitcases and globes), as a tribute to the hotel's patrons.

A series of lamps, tables, chairs, armchairs and desks commonly defined as vintage but with a strong matrix of reference to the era they belong to, were used to complete the set-up of the Palazzo Brenzoni residence in Verona with the introduction of recognisable iconic design artefacts such as the "DOGE" octagonal table by Carlo Scarpa, one of the cornerstones of the "Ultranational" movement produced by Simon since 1968, rather than the 'UNGHIA' mirrors designed by Bonetto a true '70s must, the '70s magazine racks by Gio Stoppino Design 2 produced by Kartell, the 'FRATE' tables by Enzo Mari for Driade, the '60s chairs by Cassina designed by Gianfranco Frattini , the '70s coffee table by Paolo Piva produced by B&B Italia, '70s sculptures, 'RAINBOWL' umbrella stand designed by Sebastian Bergne produced by Driade, '60s Zanuso design armchairs, 'TULIP' table designed by Eero Saarinen in the '70s. The pots and pans are also new but designed by Pininfarina, scales from the 1960s and cutlery with the very special champagne ice finish.
