For more than 135 years, Bonacina has made rattan furniture famous and desirable through its presence in the most sophisticated residences worldwide. This book chronicles the firm’s long history of collaborating with renowned furniture designers and decorators of note.

Emblematic of Italian excellence since its founding in 1889, Bonacina is a family-owned design brand that has defined a unique and timeless style, embodying an artistic sensibility, attention to detail, and the superior workmanship of rattan—a natural raw material that grows in the Far East. The story begins in remote lands where the natural material grows before traveling to Italy and then, in the hands of some of the best interior designers, to stylish residences, gardens, hotels, and restaurants around the world.

Grace V. ★★★★★

The large-format photos really showcase the intricate weaving techniques and elegant silhouettes. I’ve already spent an hour just flipping through the pages, studying the craftsmanship. A gorgeous tribute to a century of design excellence.

Grace Z. ★★★★★

I had no idea rattan furniture had this kind of history behind it. The book traces over 135 years of the craft, and the photos of those sophisticated interiors had me rethinking my whole living room.

Olivia E. ★★★★★

The archival photography alone is worth it — I've spent hours poring over the interiors shots of rattan pieces in these grand old residences. You really get a sense of how the weaving styles evolved across 135 years.
