Presentation of the collection of carpets designed by Elisa Ossino

08.11.18

Porro, the brand known throughout the world for the material research, clean lines, and impeccable details of its furnishings, enriches its own offering with Enigmi, a collection of wool and linen carpets designed by Elisa Ossino.
Available in rectangular and round shapes and in a color palette ranging from beige to pearl grey, these prized carpets, hand woven on a loom or hand tufted, recall the visual project rigor which characterizes Porro’s style.
The contrasting graphical elements, in black or white, evoke the great tradition of the Berber master artisans, reread in a contemporary key through minimal geometric patterns.
Geometrical abstraction, monochromes, metaphysical and surrealist references, typical of Elisa’s imagination, are recur in the Enigmi line of carpets which gives birth to a coherent and allusive relationship between space, delimited by their strong stroke, light, and the Porro systems and collections that rest on it.
Each single carpet, soft but very resistant, is in fact the perfect element to complete the day and night areas of the brand by virtue of the expressive harmony that for years constituted a bond between Porro and the Sicilian architect and interior designer, who under the direction of art director Piero Lissoni handles the set design and styling for the company.
Creative vitality and capacity for dialogue, curiosity to compare oneself with universes apparently at the antipodes but united by the shared passion for quality projects, place Porro among brands which are trendsetters, always at the avant-garde, for the desire to experiment and experiment with oneself, which with this collaboration further extends its own horizons, offering complete settings to its own retail displays and company-owned stores throughout the world, in the name of praise of production and of an elegance which is not ostentatious.
The Enigmi carpet collection is exclusively produced for Porro by the Swedish Kasthall brand, which has placed at Porro’s disposal its expertise in the production of carpets which are a fusion of artisanal craftsmanship, design, and the finest natural materials.
