A discreet and refined tribute to light and silence. Sottovoce is the new lighting collection by Bronzetto that combines high artistic craftsmanship, a distinctive hallmark of the Florentine brand - with memory and design, in a harmony made of precious details and narrative suggestions.
Unveiled at Euroluce 2025, Sottovoce offers a contemporary interpretation of the original french Bouillotte, but with a modern sensibility. Composed of four different models - vertical chandelier, horizontal chandelier, table lamp, and floor lamp – the collection has been conceived for those looking in lighting not only function, but also atmosphere, character and story.

The poetics of light: materials, details and atmosphere
The heart of the collection is the coloured metal lampshade, that delicately filters light with whispered elegance, never overwhelming. The result is a gentle illumination that evokes the mysterious atmospheres of the Parisian nights, and the sweetness of those lively evenings illuminated only by golden reflections. A tribute to an idea of light that accompanies rather than dominates. A design that, as the name suggests, does not shout, but whispers - evoking the charm of subdued conversations under soft light and the interplay of shadows and gentle reflections that shape a quietly intimate mood.
The structure is crafted from natural brass with hand-waxed black detailing. The painted metal shades are offered in a range of finishes, designed to diffuse light with quiet sophistication. Each model can be equipped with dimmable LED sources. The variation in shade size and modular compositions allows for bespoke solutions. Sottovoce achieves a delicate balance of tradition and innovation, rigour and playfulness, transforming any space into one of cosy, unexpected charm.
Suspension chandelier
As a visual soundtrack, the Sottovoce suspension chandelier is a scenographic composition, available with 10 or 12 metal lampshades arranged in glowing clusters or linear structures of seven lights. The vertical version rises like a sculptural object that fuses light and architecture. Ideal for spaces with high ceilings, it introduces rhythm and height with understated drama. While the horizontal version plays with balance and geometry, perfect for dining areas or lounges where minimalism meets poetic intrigue.
Table lamp
Compact in scale yet strikingly expressive, the Sottovoce table lamp stands out for its inclined, dynamic silhouette. Its slender, spherical-legged tripod in burnished brass offers lift and lightness, while the matte black shade, with its lacquered red edge, brings bold subtlety. The warm brass interior reflects a soft, golden glow, enveloping the space with intimacy. Ideal for desks, bedside tables or reading corners, this piece is designed for those seeking a light that blends functionality, personality and poetry in a single gesture.
Floor lamp
Slim and elongated, the Sottovoce floor lamp traces a line of light with effortless grace. Its burnished brass frame rises with essential balance, supporting a generous black shade defined by a slender, vivid red edge - a subtle accent that underscores its character.
The soft, embracing light creates islands of warmth and intimacy, making any room feel calm and collected. With its minimal gesture and strong visual identity, it is the perfect choice for living areas where one seeks understated elegance and light that soothes rather than demands.
