Bonaldo is a renowned Italian brand that embraces “the culture of furniture”, driven by research, innovation, and an eye for the “big picture” in design. With a history of cutting-edge collaborations, Bonaldo’s lineup of lounge chairs, modern poufs, sofas, and tables is decidedly contemporary – often playful in form yet sophisticated in execution. In the realm of poufs, ottomans, and footstools, Bonaldo offers a variety of shapes and styles, ranging from elegant upholstered cylinders to creative shapes that double as art pieces. Their relax armchairs and lounge chairs similarly span from refined, minimalist silhouettes to bold, avant-garde designs, catering to different lifestyles (from formal living rooms to casual, youthful spaces).
Bonaldo’s Hollywood poufs (designed by Gino Carollo) illustrate the brand’s modern approach – available in vibrant colors and elastic fabric upholstery, they add a chic yet functional accent to any room. The Hollywood pouf is crafted with cold-expanded polyurethane foam padding, which gives it a firm yet comfortable structure that will hold its shape over time. Its exterior is wrapped in a special stretch fabric that provides a smooth, tailored look while being fully removable for easy cleaning. This design balances form and function: the modern pouf’s hourglass-like form (hence the name Hollywood, evoking a spotlight-ready silhouette) is visually striking, and the high-density foam ensures it can be used as a seat or footrest without collapsing. The Hollywood pouf comes in two sizes and a spectrum of colors, reflecting Bonaldo’s emphasis on customization and fitting diverse interior needs. It’s equally at home in a chic living room or a trendy office lounge, attesting to its versatile design.
- Modern Lounge Chairs: Bonaldo’s collection of lounge and armchairs includes notable designs like the Armchair Lock (which envelops the sitter in a loop-like backrest) and the Youpi and Bull armchairs (each with distinct forms). These chairs often feature bold shapes paired with comfort – for example, the Youpi Lounge Chair has a invitingly curved back and plush cushioning, suited for informal relaxation corners. Bonaldo uses materials such as painted metal for slim legs, molded foam for ergonomic support, and luxury upholstery (leathers, velvets, or patterned fabrics) to bring these concepts to life. Many designs have removable covers or multiple base options (swivel bases, wooden legs, etc.), underscoring Bonaldo’s practical design approach. In terms of aesthetic, Bonaldo lounge chairs can be elegant and refined or youthful and informal, aligning with the brand’s goal to meet different lifestyle needs. This means you can find a sleek velvet chaise lounge chair for a modern classic interior, as well as a funky bean-bag-inspired seat for a creative studio – all within Bonaldo’s portfolio.
- Modern Poufs & Ottomans: Bonaldo has made a name for itself with creative pouf designs beyond the Hollywood. The Clessidra pouf, for instance, is shaped like an hourglass (clessidra means hourglass in Italian) – a sculptural piece that’s both stool and decor object. Then there’s the Bonaldo Muffin pouf (resembling the shape of a muffin or cupcake), which adds a touch of whimsy. Despite their playful forms, these pieces don’t skimp on quality: they typically use sturdy internal frames or high-resilience foam cores and are upholstered in premium materials. Many Bonaldo modern poufs come with removable covers, allowing you to update the look or clean them easily. Functionally, they serve as footstools, extra seating, or side tables (you can even place a tray on a flat-topped pouf to use it as a coffee table). Bonaldo often coordinates poufs with their sofas and armchairs – for example, the Lovy pouf is designed to match the Lovy sofa collection, both in style and upholstery. In summary, Bonaldo’s poufs and ottomans inject a dose of Italian design chic into a room, whether through an intriguing shape or a vibrant pop of color, all while providing the practical comfort of a well-made piece of furniture.
