Make new friends but keep the old! A year after reaching the extraordinary milestone of its 100th anniversary, Porro celebrates by continuing its long-standing relationship with Hall of Famer Piero Lissoni, the Italian company's art director for the past 30 years, and its more recent one with Japanese designer Nao Tamura. The latter's multifunctional bookcase system, Ryo (meaning "edge"), features attenuated aluminum shelves supported by angular elements that can be repositioned as needed—a sublime sculptural work that is also uber-functional. Lissoni unveils a sofa and three new wardrobe/storage designs, two of which feature prominently in a six-story multigenerational residence his firm designed on Juhu Beach in Mumbai, India: The Modern system organizes the primary suite's closet and Storage brings order to the fourth-floor dressing rooms. Indeed, Lissoni creations populate almost every corner of the evocative concrete-walled abode. On the third floor are twin Offshore high sideboards in rosso cina-stained ash, and overlooking the indoor pool is a Ferro table coated in red lacquer, a color that contrasts dramatically with the otherwise sober architecture.
