Dondoli and Pocci

Harmonious freedom: this is how you could sum up the contribution that Claudio Dondoli and Marco Pocci has been offering Bonaldo for years. Since their university days the experience of theatrical experimentation has stayed with them, continuing to burn bright in their later career as designers. And in their work, the interest for theatre decidedly influences the design framework of their creations. Dondoli e Pocci see design as beauty, harmony and freedom.

Gino Carollo

The collaboration between Gino Carollo and Bonaldo started at the beginning of 2000. It was founded on a shared outlook towards internationalization and industrial design, toward product design linked to engineering, to the meticulousness of the process that starts from the prototyping stage up to the realization of finished models. Some of the most popular products made for Bonaldo include the Fun bookshelf, the April, May and June shelving units and the AX table.
