Convinced that there is a “red thread” between the different productions, Renato D’Onofrio is interested in architecture, restoration, furniture and design. In every area, it combines contemporaneity with the history, understood as experiences waiting to be explored with “new eyes”. In particular, in design it interprets the needs and desires of users and therefore assumes a position equidistant from Functionalism as an end in itself and from the aesthetic result unable to go beyond pleasure of sight; claims that the true beauty of an object comes from the harmonious composition and comfort it ensures during use. D’Onofrio believes that any object should not be enjoyed only with the eyes but also with touch and even with the sense of smell; for these reasons, it searches for the best materials, applies the construction techniques appropriate to the design theme and takes care of the smallest formal details.
