Fidia

The Fidia Armchair stands as a testament to a fruitful collaboration between Renzo Mongiardino and Mario Bonacina, two creative forces who shaped some of the most sophisticated homes and palazzos of the twentieth century. Mongiardino, an Italian architect and interior designer renowned for his ability to create fantastical, richly textured environments, relied on Bonacinaโ€™s craftsmanship to bring his intricate visions to life.

Together, they bridged the gap between tradition and innovation, turning historical references into contemporary masterpieces.

Their collaboration wasnโ€™t merely professional but evolved into a deep, mutual understanding. Mongiardinoโ€™s designs often drew inspiration from historical archives, reinterpreting classical pieces for a modern audience. Bonacinaโ€™s skill in transforming these intricate concepts into tangible realities was key to the success of their projects. Whether crafting Fidia Armchair for an aristocratic residence or developing custom designs for a high-profile collector, their partnership continuously pushed the boundaries of design.
