Narrating The Geometric Purity

At the next Salone del Mobile 2023, Porro continues to weave its own story about space, picking up the threads of a design thinking capable of evolving one step after another for almost 100 years, weaving apparently distant instances: architectural vision and fascination for the spirit of the place, pictorial sensitivity for matter and color and perfection of the technological detail, without ever forgetting the attention for the environment and the social reality that transversally runs through a new project, each time a precious opportunity for knowledge and discussion, each time different, intimately connected with its future inhabitants.

Thin thicknesses, movement, transparencies and very clear essences distinguish the evolution of the systems, the main instrument for defining a grid that knows how to disappear when necessary, defining and articulating the space with freedom, while in the collections, furnishings with everyday functionality and concreteness, new classics that you will never want to part with, are accompanied by anything but ordinary objects with a disruptive character: distinct notes that together make up the chords of an ever-changing music.

Romby armchair, design GamFratesi 2023

From the transformation of the Romby chair designed by GamFratesi in 2019 and tiptoeing into the “manifesto” object of Porro design, capable of immediately narrating the geometric purity, manufacturing excellence and artisan flavor that define the brand, the new Romby armchair is now designed for its all-comprehensive use, opening up new possibilities in the home office and contract. The shapes of the upholstered shell seem to blossom, they widen and rise to create the armrests, releasing an unexpected sensation of softness and naturalness, without losing the lightness and essentiality of the original model. The truncated cone base leaves instead the field to the practicality of 4 central wooden legs, a sort of costume change with the visual effect of a full suspended upper volume that seems to take flight, in the name of hospitality and functionality.
