An architect-traveler (as he puts it) and a company that belongs to a productive context built over the years with the typical know-how only Italy can muster: the encounter between Marco Piva and Arte Brotto translates into two independent collections that seem like natural bedfellows.
Elementa (created for Foglie d’Oro, the brand of the Brotto family) is a collection of floors in walnut and oak, where the geometry is dictated by complex and regular, harmonious and fluid compositions, where along with the selected forms there is always a sudden, repeated external element, an apparent break with the overall composition (inserts, at times, or materials other than wood), that nevertheless turns out to be the icing on the cake, an extra touch that immediately makes an almost 3D impression.
Principe, on the other hand, is a complete collection of furniture and complements for the bedroom zone and the living area: here the Brotto family has decided to be daring, in a sector already packed with offerings. Only a complete, detailed set like the one envisioned by Piva could mount an assault on the market, both in Italy and abroad. A collection, as the CEO Luisa Brotto says, that “wants to be in tune with new sensibilities that have by now been globalized.”
Arte Brotto is one of those companies that have worked in the background for decades, making the right choices in terms of form and a punctual, reliable chain of production, approaching international markets by skillfully transferring Made in Italy into an interpretation of the demand for luxury that has a contemporary, understated but perceptible spirit. Above all, a story ready to be told.
