Porro, founded in Brianza, the traditional birthplace of Italian Furniture, the brothers Guilio and Stephano Porro, established Porro Furnishings and Design in the year 1925, some many generations ago. The first workshop was dedicated to the newborn Milanese Bourgeoisie, where furniture became a mixture of affordability and class, providing a steady backdrop for things that were to follow.

Incorporating a unique brand furnishing philosophy, matching handicraft tradition of contemporary time with the awareness of mind to accommodate a more forward-thinking approach to making furniture. More modern and advanced manufacturing techniques and information based technologies are tailored into the production and design of their unique furnitures.

The culture is rooted in a few choice themes and words, that best describe their more than authentic path through design. Formal cleanness, shape and function geometry, are the cornerstones of Porro, making them consistent with their brand philosophy and their desire to branch out and reach a more streamlined international market share with out betraying their roots and traditions. The key brand philosophy stems itself form simplicity above all — a brand mantra.

Porro and its design process is highly integrated and roots itself within the realm of production. This highly corporate approach is deeply rooted in the design process and looks to influence their product line. With three key design principles, in geometry and function, simplicity above all else does take precedence in this process.

All Porro products are a result of stripping away the unessential as opposed to adding to the already substantial body of their creations. Again, simplicity and its processes shines through and through. Even as the product line seems simple, we are assured by the Porro Family that this clear aesthetic vision is based on consistency and simplification without forgetting quality — one can still strip too much away, as it were.
