Continuing the path of research on wood which distinguishes the company, and starting from the theme of “containing” which is typical of its work on systems, Piergiorgio Cazzaniga, Front, Gamfratesi, Piero Lissoni, LucidiPevere, Alessandro Mendini, Neri&Hu, Elisa Ossino, Christophe Pillet, Soda Des/gners, and other special names were invited to design their ideal wooden box, to “test” firsthand the high technical, material and aesthetic quality of each Porro creation as well as its ability to fulfill the wishes of each designer, accomplishing a broad spectrum of personalizations.
If Piergiorgio Cazzaniga’s wooden box is ispired by the “meda”, the woodstack once made in the villages to dry the wooden boards creating real wooden towers, that looks like a Japanese architecture, Gamfratesi’s wooden box is an homage to Porro’s logo designed in 1966 by Bruno Munari with its O shape that opens up like a ladybug, while the Lucidipevere’s is a wooden box made from one single veneer sheet, curved and closed through a brass jo int that functions as an opening system.
