EPIC Designer Profile: Michele Bonan

Michele Bonan was born in Tuscany and moved to Florence as a young boy. With a natural talent for design, Bonan quickly gained international acclaim as a top designer. Having worked with Ferragamo for hotels and yachts, Bonan is also known for his work with Ugo Colombo on luxury real estate. He currently boasts two design projects in Miami, the Grovenor House, in Coconut Grove, in which he created an enchanting, nautically inspired lobby and EPIC Miami’s sales center, a project that highlights Bonan’s interior design skills and ability to perfectly combine creativity, luxury and appeal.

According to Bonan, he “does not follow one style only…I have a different approach each time.” Icons that have influenced his work include his mother, Hubert de Givenchy, David Hicks, the swinging London’s cult architect, John and Jacqueline Kennedy and Bill Blass to name a few.

Famed Designer Lends His Touch To Miami Project

Designed to look and feel like a modern home located in the 54-story luxury tower, the EPIC sales center features unique furniture created by renowned designer Michele Bonan. Inspired by a combination of the location, graphic effect and eclectic style, Bonan designed the center to emanate the magic and appeal of living in the heart of Miami’s downtown. In line with Miami’s art deco style, the center is based on rationalist architecture and is filled with black, white, yellow and steel. The two story building features a deck inspired by a real ship deck, with chimney, lanterns, wood, chrome, glossy steel and magnificent waterfront views. The building and interior combine to tell the tale of luxury and art uniting.
