RODOLFO BONETTO (Milan, 1929-1991) for DRIADE. Pair of armchairs. Plastic material. With Driade label. Slight marks of use on the base. Measurements: 70 x 66 x 70 cm. Pair of armchairs of marked geometric design, based on rounded volumes, whose clean lines are enhanced by the neatness of the reddish-colored plastic material. It consists of a unitary and fluid volume in which the legs form the sides of the furniture and, in a continuous way, form the armrests, seats and backs of the same. The self-taught designer Rodolfo Bonetto began his career working for the Olivetti company in the late 1950s, where he contributed to the design of several products, including typewriters, household appliances, calculators and furniture such as the Boomerang armchair. Later he also worked for Kodak, Braun and Yamaha. His successful career led him to be awarded up to eight times with the Compasso d'Oro, the highest Italian design award. He is best known for his creations in the fields of technology and transportation (he worked for the Italian public transport company ATM), as well as for bicycles, motorcycles and automobiles. He has twice been president of ADI (Associazione Disegno Industriale) and president of ICSID (International Council of Societies of Industrial Design).
