Vittorio Bonacina @ Salone Milan 2012

Vittorio Bonacina’s artisans exhibit true mastery when working rattan, and, they make it look easy. Each piece is made by hand, and using the basic elements water and fire, in combination with their manual expertise, they create both classic and fresh, new forms.

Having the patience to find the most intelligent, essential and aesthetic solutions, in both the design and manufacturing phases, creates excellence; exquisite and functional pieces that are a delight to live with; furniture that is both timeless and of its time.

Vittorio Bonacina won the Gold Medal at the IX Triennale in Milan in 1951 and is present in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), New York, USA, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pennsylvania, USA, and the Triennale Design Museum, Milan.
