Giorgio Brotto (Giorgio Brotto), head of the family, in the furniture business for over 40 years. He began to work with Venetian antiques - he restored, then began to collect with enthusiasm. At some point, Giorgio's fascination so captured that he decided to create “his” antiques using old-fashioned techniques and techniques in modern furniture. This is how the brand appeared ARTE BROTTO, a family business in which all members of the family are engaged. This patriarchy was reflected in the tribal nest.

The house near Venice appeared 15 years ago. The family owned here a large plot of land of 30 hectares. The nature in these places is stunningly beautiful, and the owners wanted the house to merge with the surroundings into a single whole. Therefore, the materials selected mainly natural.

Stone and wood went to the facade decoration - a safe tandem for a country house. The second link was the large windows, which arranged almost the entire facade. Most of the windows are oriented towards the training circle and stables. Brotto's hobby - racehorses that are bred on the estate. It has all the necessary buildings and economic services, and now the family has 85 purebred, purebred pets. Moreover, Fabio Brotto, the youngest son of Giorgio, is one of the twenty best riders in Italy. His trophies - cups - serve as the main decoration of the living room. To put them, it took a huge showcase.

The interior of the three-story mansion was designed by Louise, the daughter of Giorgio. “With the creative participation of her father,” she says, smiling. - He is responsible for the design of all the collections of our furniture. House trusted me. Without forgetting, however, look after the work. ” Almost 600 square meters, three floors - there was a lot of work. On the first floor there are the public areas, on the second - the bedroom, in the basement, as in any self-respecting Italian estate, a wine cellar and a large living room.

“We already had an image of a house,” says Louise. - To embody it was not so difficult. We are adherents of the classics, and the interior should have been 100% classic.

She explains the choice of style as follows: “Classic things have historical allusions, which makes them immortal. It sounds a little pompous, but it is. A house with such an atmosphere will not go out of style. Over the years, he will only delight more and more. "

Furnished the house with antiques, which continues to collect the head of the family, and furniture ARTE BROTTO. Thus, Venetian sofas and beds of the 18th-19th centuries coexist with their modern incarnations - from the collections of the factory. This furniture is made by hand according to old canons; Moreover, part of the old wood and with antique details. Therefore, one of the lines of the brand is called Vere Antichità. The interior also uses objects “on the verge” of classics and modernity, from the Fly Plationo collection. Even the floors are made in a family factory: the company has a unit that manufactures flooring. Giorgio Brotto says that his family has two passions - horses and furniture. And that they have a lot in common. “The furniture business and race sport are in many ways similar,” he shares. “Both bring up winners.” In addition, both there and there, genuine passion is needed. The first is the finish line crossed by a horse rider who really loves his job. Genuinely beautiful furniture also cannot be created without being in love with it. ”
