Dondoli and Pocci

Harmonious freedom: this is how you could sum up the contribution that Claudio Dondoli and Marco Pocci has been offering Bonaldo for years. Since their university days the experience of theatrical experimentation has stayed with them, continuing to burn bright in their later career as designers. And in their work, the interest for theatre decidedly influences the design framework of their creations. Dondoli e Pocci see design as beauty, harmony and freedom.
