Porada’s Timeless Evolution: Bold New Designs in Italian Craftsmanship

Screenshot

For over seventy years, Porada has been shaping interiors with an unwavering devotion to wood and Italian craftsmanship. From its atelier in Meda, Italy, every design emerges as both homage and evolution: rooted in tradition yet refined for contemporary life. This season, Porada unveils a suite of pieces that extend its legacy with bold silhouettes, tactile richness, and an eye on international sensibilities. Be inspired with Maldini.

The Ginkgo XL leads the conversation. Building on the armchair that captured the Porada International Design Award in 2022, this expanded version embraces fuller, more generous proportions, inviting markets attuned to comfort and cocooning forms.

Next is Koji, a modular sofa whose soft, linear volumes are encircled by a subtle solid-wood detail. It’s a striking reminder of Porada’s ethos: upholstery that welcomes, framed by craftsmanship that endures.

For living spaces, the Callisto Brillo coffee tables bring sleek geometry to the fore, elevated by lacquer finishes in deep brown, greige, and rouge brun. Their glossy “brillo” palette gives each surface a contemporary edge, turning the simple table into a confident design gesture.

Equally sculptural, the Augusto dining table draws from Roman arches. Its interlocking canaletta walnut base supports a customisable top in crystal, marble, or rock – architecture and furniture entwined in one commanding form.

Meanwhile, the Akeru collection shines a light on what’s often hidden. Both the sideboard and TV unit showcase canaletta walnut and marble, contrasted with glass details that balance heft with transparency. Cable management and removable panels remind us that beauty and function need not be at odds.

Together, these designs reaffirm Porada’s credo: wood, elevated to art, always Made in Italy, crafted for a world that seeks timeless design with a contemporary edge.

Porada is locally available at Maldini.
