The Art of Italian Mannequin Making
For over seventy years, Bonaveri has made mannequins and bust forms for the world’s leading fashion houses, luxury retailers and cultural institutions. Each figure starts as a sculpture in our atelier in Northern Italy, where master artisans pair traditional craft with contemporary design. From the abstract forms of Schläppi to the realistic figures of Adel Rootstein, there is a Bonaveri form for every vision.
Pioneering Sustainable Display Solutions
In 2016, Bonaveri became the first company in the world to introduce biodegradable mannequins. BPlast, derived from 72% sugarcane, and BPaint, made entirely from natural pigments and plant-based solvents, showed that fashion display could reduce its environmental impact without compromising on quality or aesthetics. We believe that environmental responsibility and exceptional design must work in harmony and so we continue to develop certified sustainable products and award-winning economic packaging.
Collections for Every Aesthetic
Our collections cover the full range of display styles: the dramatic Schläppi collection, the refined, adaptable Sartorial, and Tribe, designed for streetwear and lifestyle brands. Adel Rootstein adds the world’s most recognisable realistic and semi-realistic forms. And when a brand needs something truly its own, our bespoke service creates custom mannequins for its identity, body specifications and retail space.
