Elle

The Elle Armchair pays homage to the remarkable collaboration between Renzo Mongiardino and Mario Bonacina, two visionaries who played a significant role in shaping some of the most elegant homes and palazzos of the twentieth century. Mongiardino, a renowned architect and interior designer, sought out Bonacina’s extraordinary craftsmanship to bring his ambitious and intricate projects to life. This partnership flourished over the years, grounded in a shared passion for merging tradition with innovation.

Mongiardino’s artistic vision often drew upon historical references, finding inspiration in the archives of classical design. With Bonacina’s expertise in material and technique, they reinterpreted these historical designs for a contemporary audience.

Their collaborative efforts gave rise to furniture pieces that blended rich heritage with modern craftsmanship, appealing to an international clientele that included collectors, aristocrats, and high-profile entrepreneurs. This fusion of old and new became a hallmark of their work, with the Decor collection standing as a testament to their creative synergy.

Elle Armchair in the Decor collection reflects the refinement and sophistication that Mongiardino and Bonacina brought to their projects. Bonacina’s ability to transform Mongiardino’s intricate designs into physical form resulted in pieces that were not only aesthetically captivating but also functionally timeless. These works of art seamlessly integrate into both classic and modern interiors, offering a sense of luxury and tradition without compromising contemporary comfort.

The Elle Armchair collection remains a beloved choice for those with discerning taste, capturing the essence of their collaboration and continuing to bring elegance and grace to the most prestigious spaces around the world.
