Dondoli and Pocci
Claudio Dondoli and Marco Pocci: both come from Colle Val d'Elsa, close to Siena, where Archirivolto is still located today. Dondoli and Pocci met in Florence at the faculty of architecture where they were part of the same work team. In 1983 they started a studio involved in industrial and architectural projects that in 1989 turned exclusively to industrial design projects. Their belief is that real innovation today is based on the use of technology and materials. Technology is not used to create an image but to give the client a service: a good design product must be beautiful, efficient and comfortable if it is truly of quality. Besides working with Bonaldo they also work with Desalto, Fasem and Ligne Roset, among others.
Bonaldo has been active for more than fifty years at the national and international level thanks to products that meet the many shades relating to contemporary dwelling style: chairs, tables, sofas, beds and accessories. Having achieved complete know-how in the industrialization of metalworking, their present-day designs and production also make use of other types of manufacturing and materials, such as aluminum die-casting, cold molded flexible polyurethane and polypropylene. Different materials co-exist in perfect harmony, with the total reliability of the most technologically advanced manufacturing methods and the skill of their specialized technicians.
Bonaldo believes that only by bringing together different types of experience can enrich creativity and innovation: that means using not one but many languages and designers from various countries thus contributing to the innovative development of design ideas. The imagination and the communication of the company are in continuous evolution and pay attention to the European and Extra-European cultural movements.
