Biography
Background
Dante Bonuccelli was born in Buenos Aires in 1956 and graduated in Architecture there in 1979. Molteni&C says his path led from Argentina to Italy, where he founded Avenue Architects, an architecture and design practice based in Milan, in 1984; Poltrona Frau's designer page gives 1998 for the founding and says he moved to Milan in 1984.
Signature Style
Molteni&C credits his plain manner, free of affectation, to his Argentine background and says he gives product design a concrete, precise architectural mindset; technology and everyday life coexist in his projects.
Notable Works
The company's catalogue credits him with the Pass-Word Evolution living system, the Horizons single units, the 4040 drawer units and the Tivalì 2.0 kitchens; the company also names its Trim kitchens.
Legacy
His projects have been featured in more than 50 publications and exhibited internationally. Poltrona Frau's page lists distinctions such as the Compasso d'Oro Index in 2004, 2005, 2009, 2010 and 2021.
