Beneath a pitched roof and surrounded by a luminous frame, Porro’s home at the Salone del Mobile takes shape as a dynamic, multifaceted organism. Architectural systems, furnishings and mobile partitions blend into a seamless, visually compelling ensemble. Upon entering, a panoramic view immediately unfolds, embracing three key areas – dining, living, and bedroom – offering a tangible reference for both open-plan homes and the layout of the numerous Porro monobrand stores opening worldwide.

In the first dining / office environment, the System HT bookshelf reimagines the System shelving concept designed by Piero Lissoni + CRS Porro, transforming it into a striking wall tapestry. Industrial inspiration meets formal purity in Tablo, the new table by Piero Lissoni, drawing from the aesthetics of sheet metal workbenches yet refined for elegant dining or executive office settings.

The large living area is centered around the new linear sofa Biscuit by Piero Lissoni, raised on slender metal feet covered in bruno stained ash. Framed by bruno stained ash panels along its sides and back, it features large, firm cushions and wide armrests, creating a refined dialogue where formal and informal coexist, and pure and soft geometries interact with wood, perfectly in line with Porro's style. Boutique Mast, the innovative walk-in closet or living room bookcase concept designed by Piero Lissoni + CRS Porro to create strikingly airy compositions, evolves. The round-section metal uprights give way to a new shaped profile – an oval cut at the ends – which enhances stability, allowing for wider spacing and the integration of electrification.

In the bedroom, the Iro bed by GamFratesi, a simple yet sophisticated piece, is combined with the Storage wardrobe enhanced by a new mirrored door.
The Storage Dressing Room, designed by Piero Lissoni + CRS Porro, features a Nordic-inspired structure in white ash melamine, metal elements in the new perla finishing and matching doors, creating a bright yet warm and intimate ambiance.

In the dining room, the Ventiquattro table by Piero Lissoni with rectangular transparent glass top, and tubular metal structure painted in azuki, is surrounded by the Sixte dining chairs by Christophe Pillet, featuring a iron painted tubular metal frame with black leather cushions.

Making its fair debut is Tobu, the new floor-level sofa by Francesco Rota, with base in extruded aluminum frame, complemented by slightly inclined semi-rigid leather or fabric backs covered in hide color leather that instill a sense of movement. The new Twin sideboard in bruno stained ash, designed by Dordoni Studio, stems from the intersection and interconnection of two distinct yet harmoniously connected volumes, creating ever-changing perspectives, further enhanced by the mirror. The ambiance is completed by the Prie pouf by Francesco Rota.

In the adjacent living area, the new Tobu sofa by Francesco Rota is presented in linear three- and four-seater configurations, placed facing each other to create an inviting relaxation and conversation zone. These are paired with the Ferro low table by Piero Lissoni, featuring a sensual curvature in the new royal blue metallic finish. On the wall, the Modern system by Piero Lissoni + CRS Porro is presented as three suspended square sideboards, with glossy royal blue lacquered back panels, contrasting against Santos rosewood exteriors.

The sculptural forms of the Materic Ovale table by Piero Lissoni in a dark-stained ash finish, are surrounded by the Voyage chairs by GamFratesi in natural maple, feature form-fitting naturale invecchiato saddle leather upholstery, expertly cut and stitched. New interpretations also for the self-standing sideboards by Modern, designed by Piero Lissoni + CRS Porro: the covering top, side panels, and fronts in the new umber melamine make room for open modules in the new matt azuki lacquer, elegantly elevated on black-painted Bridge feet.

In the wardrobe space, the Storage hinged-door wardrobe, designed by Piero Lissoni + Porro Research Center, encloses transparent modules with transparent lighted shelves. At the center, two Origata benches by Nao Tamura, lacquered in azuki, offer a new perspective on Porro’s Storage Boiserie. A fundamental element in Porro’s dynamic and ever-evolving home, the Glide fixed, sliding and pivoting partitions, designed by Piero Lissoni + Iaco Design Studio, introduce the new Samurai model, characterised by a vertical interplay of close and transparent surfaces.

meeting room with strong character showcases the Metallico table by Piero Lissoni in antique red surface finish. On the wall, the Boutique Mast bookcase undergoes a refined evolution, offering cutting-edge solutions.

In the last living area, the new Cargo sofa, designed by Christophe Pillet, showcases free compositions of soft volumes alternating with C-shaped metal elements. Endless Shelf, the iconic modular bookcase designed in 1996 by Werner Aisslinger, featuring an aluminum die-cast joint, is re-edited raised on feet, in solid bruno stained walnut.
Finally, the large niche is fitted with a big Modern+Load-it composition in rovere sabbia canneté, with Modern elements in the new tide wood, a blend of dark and intense hues.
