Porada
For the love of wood
Porada
For the love of wood
As nature intended...
If we had to describe the Porada philosophy in a single sentence, we’d say they were warm craftsmen who never rested on their laurels.
Indeed, after 70 years of making art out of wood, they still manage to surprise us with their courage and flair.
Sustainably sourced and lovingly crafted, a piece of Porada furniture promises to write warmth into any interior. While telling a beautiful story about the people who made it.
"We grew up surrounded by dust. With wooden chips in our hands. And the beauty of design in our eyes."
Bruno Allievi, CEO at Porada

The shape of things to come
A Porada interior is as original as they come. The woods are warm, the metals burnt, and the craftsmanship palpable.
These three ideas come together beautifully in every piece of furniture they make, establishing organic spaces that are as beautiful as they are liveable.

A riddle resolved
A riddle resolved
If a tree falls in a forest and there is no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?
If it's a Porada forest, then the answer is a robust and heartfelt yes.
For as well as planting a tree for every design sold, clients can also become custodians of these trees, following their journey from sapling to canopy via the online app, Treedom.
Strategic reforestation is just one of the many activities that lends Porada its green soul. And a gentle reminder that our desire to live beautifully shouldn't come at the cost of our glorious Earth.
How's your sleep?
How's your sleep?
It's one of the most sacred rooms of the home. And whether you know it as the bedroom or the boudoir, the spaces that we sleep can benefit tremendously from thoughtful design.
Fortunately, Porada have spent the last couple of decades elaborating a generous family of sleeping styles. Designed to stop clutter in it's tracks. While helping you prep for the week ahead with new poetry and flair.
In today's globalised world, what do we mean when we say that a product is entirely Made in Italy?
For family-owned brand Porada, it's as much about provenance as it is about craft.
“The deepest family legacy is the love for our work: knowing quality always comes first, investing and risking to improve day after day," explains CEO and founding family member, Bruno Allievi.
“And yet no less important is the inheritance we get from Brianza, in Northern Italy, where furniture manufacturing is pure art. Highly-skilled artisans that no school in the world could train are part of the secret of our success.”
This dedication to both people and place can be felt in every seam, knot and fold of Porada furniture.
The result is a piece of furniture that's built to last. A future heirloom, of sorts, that can be loved and admired for many generations.
