Interpreting the "history of forms" from the perspective of those who create them can offer new insights and help demystify the notion of the autonomous genius who conceives objects in isolation, with the productive world merely adapting to these ideas.

The conversation between Gianni Biondillo and Elia Bonacina, a representative of the fourth generation of the Bonacina family, is an integral part of the book "Bonacina Grandi Maestri," a publication by Lampoon that gathers and recounts over 130 years of the Bonacina family's history and their contributions to the field of design.

Bonacina Grandi Maestri is a tribute to the great collection of the Bonacina masters. This volume celebrates the distinctive design and graphic silhouettes conceived by those who would go on to become key figures in Italian and international design. Young designers, driven by a new and ambitious vision, joined Bonacina, contributing to the creation of one of the most experimental collections, where the structure itself becomes form and sculpture.
