Bonacina 1889
Nastro Armchair
The Nastro armchair by Bonacina 1889 was born as a great design challenge for its designer Joe Colombo, who had made a name for himself as a "prophetic designer", used to working with materials that were avant-garde at the time such as the latest plastic inventions. In his collaboration with Bonacina, Joe Colombo instead finds himself grappling with a material that cannot be more traditional, rush, historically linked to a somewhat fané aesthetic. Also in this case, however, Colombo manages to give life to futuristic and still very current forms, bending a bundle of curved sticks without interruption so as to constitute, without any joint, the base, armrests and backrest, giving life to a lively armchair and sculptural, full of kinetic energy.

The Bonacina 1889 rattan furnitures are the result of over 100 years of experience of one of the most important sector dynasties, the Bonacina family from Lurago d'Erba. An artisan know-how handed down from generation to generation models the wise gestures necessary to work the reed, which is curved after being manually heated with the fire, or the wicker, which after being wet can be woven like a soft fabric. All this gives life to furnishings of great quality, with an ancient and exotic charm, enriched by the imagination of important designers who have chosen Bonacina 1889 to measure themselves with this suggestive material.Read more
Designed by
Joe Colombo
Joe Colombo (1930-1971) went down in history as the "designer of the future". His creations are permeated by an optimistic vision of progress and aim at creating a radically new way of understanding the home environment. The result was a pioneering interest in innovative materials such as plastic, at the time used in the field of furniture only for experimental projects, and a very modern attention to the theme of modularity, often taken to the extreme as in the Visiona 1 installation designed for Bayer. in which every room of the house is rethought in science fiction as a "functional station". Born in Milan, he dedicated his youth to art and painting, joining the Nuclear Art movement. He only became interested in design when he was thirty and had only one decade to devote to the discipline, before his sudden and premature death from cardiac arrest. But that decade was the 1960s, a period of swirling changes, and his creations set the tone for an era: armchairs like the Elda (now re-proposed by Longhi) or the Tube Chair (designed for Flexform and re-edited by Cappellini) in the collections of all the most important design museums around the world, as well as the Minikitchen designed for Boffi, the vast collection of lamps produced by Oluce, and the fruits of its collaborations with brands such as Kartell and Zanotta. Among the products that today re-edit his creations there are also B-Line, Amini, Karakter and many others.Read more
