Bonacina makes a remarkable comeback to the automotive industry by collaborating with Garage Italia Customs to introduce the fully-electric version of the Fiat 500 Spiaggina. Rechargeable in a few hours and with any domestic outlet, the iconic car returns in the version with the seats woven in marrow, just like the first models made by Vittorio Bonacina in the 1950s, which became part of the collective imagination of the ‘dolce vita’. “The production of marrow seats for today’s 500 Spiaggina has given us the opportunity to travel back in time with our craftspeople. We found ourselves with the same bare seat of the classic version and had to figure out how to weave our material within its metal skeleton. This has been developed with our philosophy in mind: creating a product that lasts over time and offering an ergonomic and comfortable solution, as for all the products that we design and manufacture” – says Elia Bonacina, CEO of Bonacina. The main difference between the new 500 Spiaggina and the Vittorio Bonacina version is in the colours: the first models were made of marrow and presented in the natural colour of the material, while the new series can be produced in any colour selected by Garage Italia customers. garage-italia.com bonacina1889.it
