With his talent and academic training, Simone Bonanni designs objects that stand out for their aesthetic rigour and elegance. The JOS range seat and table designs refer to past objects. However, thanks to their proportions and technical solutions, they have a contemporary identity.
Simone Bonanni focused on the communicative power of objects, then shifted to the emotions provoked, giving greater importance to perception rather than to the material sphere.

Jos is a range of high-strength steel and aluminium alloy furniture for indoor and outdoor use, designed and produced to last and meet ecological requirements during and after their lifetime.

Jos has a slightly vintage feel updated by the designer with a careful study of proportions. The various seats, with or without cushions, offer moments of warmth, relaxation, rest, conversation and fun. The tables
can seat from two to eight people. The large range of colours of the metal parts and the fabrics allows countless personalized chromatic combinations. An anti-corrosion treatment by means of a primer (or galvanization on request) and polyester powder coating makes the colours highly resistant to harsh weather conditions.
