Welcome to Abonastudios

Angelo Bona Jr. devoted half his life to creating original art works. Some of these valuable "works in progress" remained in their study form when he passed. His sons are now completing that life’s work, preserving the originals while making the sculptures available through durable,museum-quality castings available to designers and the general public.

The original art works were cast and sold in bronze, many are still available. Although we will continue to cast in the United States into bronze, the cost of bronze casting continues to go up making affordability for many out of reach.

Inspired by the engineering principles of Roman cement , our proprietary casting composite combines modern pozzolanic chemistry with advance reinforcement fibers to create sculptures designed for exceptional strength, durable and beauty. In addition we cast in alpha gyspum with reinforcement fibers.

Our goal is to cast for the home and garden,expanding both use of color and texture while staying true to the intent of the piece and creating timeless works
