The Nastro armchair, designed by Joe Colombo for Bonacina in 1964, is made of rattan with a removable polyurethane cushion. It represents Colombo's vision of an autonomous, flexible piece of furniture that can be adapted to different contexts and needs. Initially inspired by traditional craftsmanship, it anticipates the use of innovative materials such as fiberglass, polyethylene and PVC, reflecting the designer's experimental approach.
Bonacina
Bonacina 1889 was born in 2015 from the merger of the two companies Vittorio Bonacina and Pierantonio Bonacina. In 1889, in Lurago d'Erba, Giovanni and Pietro Bonacina founded the company Fratelli Bonacina, drawing inspiration from the local tradition of basket making and applying the technique of weaving rush and wicker to the world of furniture. Over the years, the two brothers took different paths and created the two companies, reunited today after years of separation.
Joe Colombo
Joe Colombo, pseudonym of Cesare Colombo, was an Italian designer and architect. Born in Milan in 1930, he founded the Nuclear Movement together with Enrico Baj and Sergio Dangelo, and then joined the International Movement for an Imaginary Bauhaus and the Movement for Concrete Art. Upon his father's death in 1959, Colombo opened an architecture studio with his brother Gianni, with whom he designed the Acrilica lamp (1962), awarded at the 1964 Triennale. He died prematurely at the age of 41 and today his studio, carried on by his historic collaborator Ignazia Favata, houses the designer's archive.
