The ability to think ahead while respecting our traditions and resources has defined our distinct presence in the realm of architectural hardware from our inception. Blending a simple philosophy and thoughtful innovation, the pastoral setting of our workshop in northern Italy presaged the most influential modern design movements of the early twentieth century. Technological advances in every step of the production process have allowed us to achieve the maximum effect from our materials with minimum impact to the environment. This exquisite unity of aestheticism and efficiency is not only at the root of Modernism but also our family history. G. Bonomi & Figli brings this historic perspective to the current global marketplace with a bold embrace of visionary processes that ensure the consistency and quality of our collections. We start with processes that yield the strongest results, including hot and cold forging, with a focus on near net shaping to minimize cost and waste from our initial engagement with the material. This precision is maintained through the most up-to-date computer machining to realize and replicate stunning finished results. From custom specifications to standard orders, each piece incorporates the most vital technologies, including CNC lathes, earth and shell casting, die casting and hot pressing and stamping. We also use computer programming to design as well as manufacture our molds based upon three-dimensional modeling. Through the entirety of our secondary operations, up to and including finishing, we take advantage of technological progress in the field to provide workmanship recalling handcrafted techniques with a consistency, from piece to piece and across our collections, that is only possible with modern machines and robotic tools. With this priority, we continue to dedicate ourselves to exploring technology and refining our processes with every piece we make.
