Identity
Family and territory
The identity of Bonacina1889 originates from a material, rattan, from a family, Bonacina, and from a region, Brianza. For more than a century the company went along styles and trends to the time maintaining its quality and design characteristics untouched and keeping in mind that trends are mere representation and not the foundations to base the company on.

1 family, 4 generations
Today Vittorio Bonacina and Pierantonio Bonacina come together in Bonacina1889. The company remains faithful to the natural raw materials that mostly defined its culture while consolidating the know-how regarding the outdoor world, inherited from the recent acquisition. Now as then, each piece is hand-crafted by specialized artisans who carefully and finely curve rattan canes, weave and bind rattan core and synthetic materials - such as Bopifil, Polypeel, Polycore and Rolon - giving birth to architects and designers projects, carrying out an international divulgative process.
Vittorio Bonacina by acquiring the brand Pierantonio Bonacina brings together two historical entities of the design world and creates Bonacina1889 s.r.l. The collections that identified both companies through the years will continue to be the core business of Bonacina1889 s.r.l. while keeping researching and innovating.
