Glide System - 2022

12.12.22

Glide System Sliding Partition System, Designed By Piero Lissoni + Iaco Design Studio
Perfectly integrated in Porro’s living and bedroom systems and in the home architecture, Glide sliding partitions become the new essential ingredient and connecting link of Porro’s project, where traditional settings are expanded and reshaped in a new way.
Porro expands the sliding partition project launched in 2021 by developing the new Glide system, which comes in different design solutions that can however be perfectly mixed and matched with one another. With their sleek yet materially rich design, Glide partitions are made up of large made-to-measure wings featuring an L-shaped metal profile that, painted in white, black, cuvée, moka or rosso antico, frames different transparent and non-transparent materials. Thanks to the upper rail, for the sake of visual continuity, Glide sliding partitions flexibly offer different solutions to choose from or to combine together in eye-catching overlaps.
As a fluid space where everything can mutate overtime, Porro’s home inspires a reflection on change and on the directions in life that each of us chooses to take.

SEE-THROUGH EFFECT
Glide Shanghai sliding partitions
As an invitation to touch and to look at, Glide Shanghai adds to the expressive power of transparent glass the regular pace of metal slats painted black, in white cherry or heat-treated oak. The Glide Shanghai slats, applied at regular intervals onto the glass panel like handcrafted details, create a striped pattern with a striking see-through effect, for light and dark contrasts and an irresistible look and feel.

COMBINATIONS OF MATERIALS
Glide Samurai sliding partition
Absolute material and design elegance dominates Glide Samurai with its tailored cut. It fits into the Glide sliding partition system with its own interpretation of space. Freely inspired by the Japanese home and as the result of a skilful and accurate craftsmanship project, it allows to combine different textures and shapes – both transparent and matt – in new ways, exploring delicate or bold combinations and creating spectacular windows and unexpected views inside the home.

LARGE MONO-MATERIAL WALLS
Glide Kyoto sliding partitions
The charm of Porro’s surfaces is the protagonist of Glide Kyoto, with built-in recessed handle: the ideal solution to create large mono-material walls that bound secret spaces. The warmth of Porro collection’s woods, resulting from an accurate research study and deeply rooted in Porro’s DNA, as well as the vibrant nuances of a comprehensive range of matt-lacquered colours to cater to the most diverse needs, along with the technological surfaces that combine high resistance and refined textures, ensure perfect uniformity even for the largest and most complex compositions.

A PROTECTION THAT LETS THE EYES SEE THROUGH
Glide Miru sliding partition systems
The clarity of glass characterizes Glide Miru, surrounded by a graphic frame with an applied handle in the same finish as the frame, for a protection that lets the eyes see though. Enclosing, preserving, highlighting, enhancing: Miru is available in a wide range of transparent, satin, reflective or mirror finishes to choose the level of privacy you want.
Technology and craftsmanship come together, for a sophisticated interior full of light and colourful flashes, in its glass version, decorated with precious metallic textures in the colours cuvée, white or black, it offers light and impalpable textures that create subtle plays of light and a refined shaded effect.
