he collaboration between Porro and Front, the Swedish design trio with whom the company has worked since 2009, expert in reconciling the formal simplicity of Porro with a highly evocative design, was rewarded with the 2012-13 Elle Deco International Design Awards (EDIDA) - Best Seating category for the Gentle chair. A confirmation of the ability of Porro and the Swedish designers to take high-quality workmanship and reinterpret it - in this case the chair was made from curved wood, brought up to date with a sprung back rest and two-tone, two-material effect.
