More than seventy years of history and passion for designTransforming ideas into projects. Creating products that are best able to interpret the requirements of today’s world. This has been the meaning of design for Bonaldo, for over 70 years. A language that offers multiple possibilities of shapes and interpretations. A collection of products that express a modern world which is continually evolving. A conceptual and production process that attributes value to experimentation with new materials and to a collaboration with the principal national and international designers. With the objective of creating products that belong in the homes of every one of us, that elicit emotive responses and become individual memories. Bonaldo, more than seventy years of history and love of design.

From 1936 to the present day, looking towards the future Because a company needs solid roots, a pool of know-how and of values that form the basis of its own history. Working with tomorrow in mind, with a major resource available to plan for the future.

DESIGN A PORTER

The language of fashion is the language of design. Bonaldo, from 1990 for the following decade, espoused the philosophy of “Design à porter”, developed via a linguistic synthesis that is a feature of the company’s communications even today. The link with the world of fashion is highlighted in the following way: the characteristics of each product are interpreted based on the setting, the atmosphere and the presence of a figure that shares the scene with the product.

The language of fashion: Design à porter

Curiosity is the world’s driving force Giving life to an idea means working with its constituent materials, experimenting with processes and production methods, searching for new shapes. Because ideas, in order to become original symbols, need interpreters full of curiosity and enthusiasm. They need research, innovation, experimentation, a continual quest to explore the road ahead, languages, codes of expression. This is the world of Bonaldo and these are its emotions, born from a curiosity about everything relating to creativity, transformation and innovation. Because only products derived from an authentic and creative idea get noticed and are successful in becoming desirable.

Passion rewards us Bonaldo ideas have obtained numerous decorations and awards, conferred by cultural bodies and organisations, museums and associations in the sector. The products selected both in Italy and abroad were noted for their creativity, innovation, search for novel solutions, and experimentation in raw materials and finishes. Our collaboration with many different designers - different in respect of both their origin and their cultures - and a productive technique that generates true excellence, together arouse the interest of those who are appointed for each job, and not only them. The related awards are a confirmation that we are “doing it well”, but more especially constitute an invitation to follow the guiding principles that have always represented the Bonaldo personality: passion, research, quality.

The value of our staffB. people, i.e. the staff who form the backbone of the company’s success. The men and women motivated by a deep sense of value that they share with Bonaldo: work in the sense of a desire to make something, a commitment, an interest. Because each one of them has a task that they carry out to the best of their ability. At the root of the continuing growth of the company lies the active participation of people who have a sense of belonging to the group, who create a climate of mutual assistance, based on shared objectives and on the assumption of individual responsibility.

Culture, tradition, way of thinking. But also technology, practicability, numbers: Technical knowledge and manual dexterity represent the reference points for an innovative and modern industrial organisation that possesses a culture of products created to perfection, in line with the best principles of Italian tradition. Each component is manufactured in Italy and certified for its authenticity and quality in accordance with the true value of the “Made in Italy” tag. It is not by chance that Bonaldo products are provided with certificates of European origin and warranty, as well as being covered by patents. Because research means a way of life; it means accepting ever new challenges and working until a sign or an idea becomes something tangible. At the root of the continuing growth of the Bonaldo brand lie the men and women who share the same values and propositions, desire to get things done, commitment and interest. Because the company’s successes are the successes of each and every individual.

The new showroom designed by Mauro Lipparini

The Bonaldo showroom won the Good Design Award for 2011

The Good Design Award, a prize that recognises design excellence, was bestowed on Bonaldo for the showroom section - a result that fills us with pride and enthusiasm. The Good Design Award is a prize offered by the Chicago Athenaeum, the famous US cultural centre dedicated to design in all its meanings and applications: architecture, town planning, industrial design and graphics. In the month of November 2011 the jury met in Los Angeles and assessed over 500 projects originating from 38 countries.

6000 m2

The building is subdivided into two main areas: the exhibition space and the area for meeting and greeting. A deep passage between a plate glass side wall and another which is solid surrounds and defines the space of the patio. Inside, the space is free - free to allow each time a specific interpretation of the collections and the products, in amongst various attractions and artistic, design, architectural and technological installations. The showroom seeks to offer a welcome in the Bonaldo style which allows people to join in with changes of costumes, lifestyles and living space requirements.

Bonaldo: 100% energy, passion, design. And so many new ideas to share.
