We are The Bon Collective

The Bon Collective exists to tell a story with its clients. Founded in July 2021 by Natasha Bonugli, our studio is formed of a group of change makers and interior creatives. We explore ways to redefine your workplace and residential spaces through the influence, power and finesse of design.

About our collective

In addition to our core interior design team, the concept of the collective is to bring together the perfect collaborators and talent for every interior project, depending on the design intent and importantly, your bespoke design requirements. This helps enhance and optimise the outcome of every creative opportunity for our clients. We design as a collective. All team members are equal, no matter their age, experience or expertise. From Creative Director to Intern, everyone’s true abilities are welcomed and nurtured to flourish.

Our manifesto —

There is no greater joy than sparking an emotional bond between you and the spaces where you work, live and play.

We help you pursue a way of life stirred by buoyant, creative thinking. We will not offer you a commodity, but rather a life-changing experience. We will remove the barriers and boundaries that hold you back and openly propel your every day through modern, timeless environments. Your life is too short for a vanilla experience. Our minds are fiercely passionate about the impact considered interior design can have on everyday lives. We believe in bravely creating, whilst being empowering and unexpected. 

Together, we will tell your story. As a collective. The Bon Collective.

 

Working from our studio in East London, The Bon Collective connects with clients across the United Kingdom, continental Europe, the United States and Asia who are delivering workplace and residential projects within the boutique, luxury market. We imagine spaces in collaboration with them which are profoundly moving.

Our traits

  • We are brave and are not afraid of risks. We make bold decisions with the knowledge that they will carry ourselves, our clients and their projects to places once only hoped for.

  • We are responsive and action-orientated. No stone is left unturned and our team’s impeccable attention to detail is magnetic for others throughout the project journey.

  • We put ourselves in others’ shoes. We understand and empathise with you, developing solutions with your perspective at the pinnacle. Your ideas spur our ideas.

Natasha Bonugli is the Founder and Creative Director of The Bon Collective

With 20 years experience in the interiors and architecture industry, Natasha brings her specialist expertise in Workplace and Residential Interior Design to the fore within The Bon Collective design studio.

  • The Bon Collective name is inspired by Natasha’s surname, Bonugli, with the intent to convey ‘The Bon’ and ‘The Collective’ working together. When said in short, it also hints at TBC - our ability ’to be continually evolving’.

  • Natasha has built a strong reputation in the design industry internationally throughout her career. Originally trained as an architect in the United States, Italy and United Kingdom, Natasha fell in love with the speed, detail and scale of the world of interior design.

    Natasha has been involved in a wide array of design projects, ranging from residential through to hospitality and retail. More specifically, over the past 20 years, she has become a dedicated and respected expert in workplace design, leading and nurturing globally connected design teams across Europe and the United States for her three previous practices, including Unispace, BDG and Woods Bagot.

  • As the Founder and Creative Director of The Bon Collective, Natasha believes in continually being inspired by our surrounding environments, seeking a strong sense of design and rational use of purpose for each project. Natasha’s ability to nurture client relationships ensures the studio is an approachable environment for both you and the project team.

    Natasha’s passion for visually exploring and achieving high quality standards ensures each project is well considered, crafted and designed for a reason.

Values are deeply embedded into The Bon Collective’s work style, services and projects. Our team believes in them. They embody our culture and our design ethos.

A sense of being timeless

We value longevity. We design with a modern mindset, but without a concern for trends. Our focus is on what will last for you and what will still feel relevant in 5, 15, or 30 years.

An empowering connection

Our team values the ability to empower others. The spaces we design forge a better experience for our clients, and this in turn strengthens and motivates us.

A collaborative spirit

We harness the power of collaboration every day. We don’t work in a silo, but always involve others in our process from beginning to beyond. We value diverse ideas.

An exclusive feel

Whilst remaining approachable, we prefer to work with who ‘feels right’ to us, and don’t take on more than we desire. The ‘right fit’ projects are the only projects.

A passion for design

We are zealously passionate about clever, thoughtful design. We innately weave this passion with you, through every interaction, ensuring integrity in our creative direction.

An unexpected experience

What makes us different is the unexpected. The element of awe and delight. The offbeat touch points, enhancing everything about your project experience.

A curious nature

We stay curious. Every project is a fresh opportunity to innovate and this comes naturally to our team. Curiosity helps us build on our ideas and design outcomes which will surprise and delight you.

A trustworthy partner

When we commit to a project or client, we are 110% in. We go beyond expectation. We are available. We listen, and are responsive. We believe trust is essential.

For more than a decade, our team has contributed to a collection of the United Kingdom’s most pivotal workplaces. These projects gained recognition winning BCO, FX, Mixology, Driven by Design and AIS awards. We don’t take these awards lightly, and are humbled our work is celebrated by the industry.

In turn, we believe in working with our colleagues, creating not only purposeful interior spaces for the community, but also a more diverse, healthy industry. We proudly collaborate with industry bodies such as Women in Office Design, Corenet Global, British Council for Offices and PedELLE.
