As one of the most important representatives of Swiss ceramics in the modern era, Bonifas is known for his purist designs. His work is characterised by the spirit of Esprit Nouveau and its founders Ch. E. Jeanneret (Le Corbusier) and Amédée Ozenfant. In addition to his purist designs, he also created decorative ones. They often feature stylised or geometric motifs.
