Bonaveri's Cento atelier — three generations of mannequin makers

Since 1953 · Cento, Italy

Three generations of craft

Bonaveri has been making mannequins, bust forms and display tools in Cento for three generations. From a small Emilian workshop in 1953 to ateliers shipping worldwide today, what hasn't changed is how the work is done; by hand, in papier-mâché and clay, using the same techniques for decades.
