As part of the great exhibitions of Superdesign Show, Porro takes part in CULT&MUST - 20 YEARS DESIGN MUSEUM, the exciting path curated by Giulio Cappellini with the creative direction by Gisella Borioli in the great hall Central Point of Superstudio Più with the most interesting projects of design, art, fashion, technology, automotive, materials, education, image of the last 20 years.
Among the historical names of Made in Italy, known for its original point of view, innovative by tradition, Porro is invited to participate in the "island" dedicated to furniture, where the company tells his story through objects and videos mixing the typical elements of his lexicon, abstraction and concreteness, rationality and poetry, technology and handmade. On display, furnishings that contrast the absolute simplicity of form with the refinement of materials and workmanship: from the Romby armchair by GamFratesi with a flared base in solid ash wood made into segments in an exercise in cabinet-making, to the Materic table by Piero Lissoni with a circular tapered wooden top on a stainless steel base and the Mikado cupboard by Front in oiled ash wood, composed of a double row of wooden slats, inclined and staggered in a game of see-through. Three objects that have become part of the collective imagination, recovering valuable workmanship from the past, capable of being the spokesman of a vibrant contemporaneity at the same time.
