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.
