Piero Atchugarry Gallery, in partnership with Bonacina, is delighted to present, Sintesi, a collaborative exhibition synthesizing the worlds of art and design. Sintesi weaves Bonacina’s 134- year legacy of Italian craftmanship into a harmonious dialogue with thoughtfully selected artworks from the Piero Atchugarry Gallery. An independent, family-run operation since inception, Bonacina has been in a constant pursuit of sustaining tradition and modernity in their unique furniture-making process. The company takes pride in its specialty of using rattan—a sustainable vine known for its durability and flexibility— and over the years combining rattan’s malleability with other innovative materials, consistently defining their timeless style whilst embracing new ideas. Designed to impress and delight, Bonacina’s furniture defy the limitation that “form follows function” instead proposing its own principle where form and function, like design and art, are inseparable. Sintesi introduces these artisanal pieces within an exhibition space that does not make a distinction between furniture and art, but instead finds parallels in the creative process that tie design to art and vice-versa.
