From Retro Tech, Poetical Minimal to Rarefied Elegance
Embrace Porro’s perfect pairing of table and chair combinations to adorn your space thoughtfully with a distinctive design style.
RETRO-TECH
Pascal table and Romby armchair
Pascal table by Piero Lissoni shows its precious soul in a dining room / studio with the top in the new Calacatta Verde marble, a finishing with soft and incredible nuances for a new sophisticated decorativism, contrasting with the industrial wing-shaped frame in die-cast aluminium. You can work comfortably seated on the new Romby armchairs by GamFratesi, with black stained ash legs in the middle and a padded seat with wide armrests, that opens up new possibilities in the home office and contract sector.
Materic
DARING PAIRING
Materic table and Frank chair
In the dining room, Porro’s ongoing research into materials, manufacturing techniques and shapes that generate emotions revolves once again around Materic, the table designed in 2017 by Piero Lissoni with the idea of experimenting the versatility of matter in elementary geometries. Displayed with a tapered round tabletop in Paonazzo marble on a truncated cone base in stainless steel, for a futuristic and lunar look, it is surrounded by Piero Lissoni‘s Frank chairs with antiqued brass frame and bouclé fabric, freely inspired by a French déco style.
Materic Ovale
INTIMATE CONVIVIALITY
Ryoba table and Nebbia chair
A tribute to natural materials and to the beauty of imperfection, the Ryoba table features legs and a very thick solid olive ash wood top. The legs with a triangular section create an easel supporting the textured table top, that is made up of solid boards – each one different from the other – carefully selected by the master cabinetmaker. The proportions of the table, which is narrow and long to match the natural size of the trunks, invite to a new intimate conviviality, while the exposed cracks and tiled knots underscore the poetry of this beautiful wood type, combined with the Nebbia chair, in which craftsmanship blends with industrial design. Thick solid ash wood legs give life to the finely curved armrests, offering support for the shell-shaped backrest and the seat, both upholstered and with a removable cover. With authenticity and memory – revisited in a contemporary way – as its core values, the chair offers great comfort, convenience and new expressive possibilities for contract spaces.
Metallico
GEOMETRIC DÉCOR
Pascal table and Romby chair
Rigorous and essential for the office, elegant and seductive for contract, but also a master key for the home, with its ability to match its Iron painted metal leg with a top in solid wood, marble or ceramic. Product with an industrial soul that has enabled the attainment of unprecedent lengths, it is at the same time a sculptural piece of a plastic nature and a perfect match for the geometric allure and retro look of the Romby chair with an abstract charm. The truncated conical base in natural sand blasted or black stained ash solid wood, is connected to a soft and compact padded swivel seat, which embraces the body while leaving it free to move, surrounded by a feeling of great lightness.

50’S ATMOSPHERES
Metallico table and Voyage chair
Delicacy and resistance come together to create a timeless table: a pure volume capable of instilling solid elegance. The refined detail of the junction between the leg and the tabletop in aluminum sheet metal points out the strength of technology, that allows to obtain rigorous lines and reduced thicknesses imbued with extraordinary elegance. The special surface finish is achieved through a catalyzed high-thickness coating and the subsequent sanding and waxing processes, carried out by hand. Matter is also in the forefront in the Voyage chair with precise contours, made up of an exposed framework in tapered solid maple; across it, a leather covering is stretched and gives shape to a very comfortable and ergonomic seat and backrest.
Pascal | Ryoba | Synapsis
RAREFIED ELEGANCE
Synapsis table and Neve chair
A decorative object that emerges in the space with its clear and rigorously chic aesthetic: the Synapsis table is distinguished by the special design of the legs created in chrome-plated or black or white lacquered steel rod and the shape of the top: an oval cut at the ends. Simple naturalness also distinguishes the Neve chair, also available in a version with a upholstered back and seat for soft comfort.
Pascal & Poltroncina Romby | Neve
POETICALLY MINIMAL
Materic Ovale table and Neve chair
Materic is proposed with a oval tabletop and a truncated cone base, both in solid Latte ash, an extra-clear Scandinavian-style finish. A silent object epitomizing visual harmony, poetically minimal, vibrating in space and enchanting with the delicate nuances of nature. It is proposed with the Neve chair, with exact yet soft lines, which reinterprets the classic wooden chair in a contemporary vein. While the support structure is characterised by a frame of slightly inclined, clear lines of various thicknesses, the roundness of the spindle legs and the slim curvature of the back and suspended seat soften its figure. The chair is available with solid ash frame, with curved plywood seat and back.
