Daybed BONACINA. Italy, 1950s. Bamboo, wicker and fabric upholstery. Newly upholstered. Very good condition. Measurements: 77 x 204 x 90 cm; 48 cm (seat height). Giovanni Bonacina started his business in 1889 in Lurago d'Erba, located in the north of Milan, an area known as Brianza. Combining two traditional crafts practiced in the area, basketry and furniture making, using the local materials of cane and reed, with rattan from Southeast Asia, Bonacina launched one of the most recognized companies dedicated to the design and creation of furniture. Over time, the management of the business passed into the hands of Vittorio Bonacina, who continued and expanded what his father had passed on to him, taking the company a step further. With an eye on the revolution in design and art that was taking place in the 1950s, a new era in the company's future began, made possible by the winning combination of production expertise, visionary collaboration with talented designers and the intention to push materials and shapes into new expressive forms. For over a century the company has followed the styles and trends of the times while keeping its quality and design characteristics intact. Today Vittorio Bonacina and Pierantonio Bonacina join forces in Bonacina1889. The company remains faithful to the natural raw materials that defined most of its culture, while consolidating its know-how in the outdoor world. Now as then, each piece is handcrafted by specialized craftsmen who carefully and finely bend the rattan canes, weave and bind the rattan core, giving rise to projects by architects and designers, carrying out an international dissemination process. The fourth generation, building on its heritage, looks to the future, constantly evolving and innovating with a dynamic and passionate spirit.
