MATTIA BONETTI

Since 1979, he has been working as a designer and decorator and has created numerous collections of one of a kind or limited edition furniture and objects.

His obsession with detail, his creativity and his rigor combine to invent a universe sometimes baroque, sometimes refined, dreamlike or playful.

He formed with Elizabeth Garouste, the famous duo Garouste & Bonetti, who in 1981 reintroduced into the design a poetic and baroque inspiration, combined with a production of arts and crafts. AVANT-SCENE is the editor of one of their collections.
