Deep roots with a contemporary vision

In the year of its 100th anniversary, Porro unveils in London its new sofa collection: an entirely new language of comfort and softness, opening up new possibilities for both residential and contract use.

For the fourth consecutive year, Porro takes part in the London Design Festival, showcasing its 2025 collection at the Porro London showroom, opened in September 2022 and located in the King Cross area north of the city, inside a historic brick building along Regent’s Canal, also home to designer Tom Dixon’s headquarters.

From the new Biscuit sofa by Piero Lissoni to the sculptural Twin sideboard by Dordoni Studio, and the ongoing evolution of Porro’s architectural systems, the brand’s home embodies a concept of open, modular spaces—adaptable to individual habits and daily rhythms. Here, design dialogues with high-quality, sustainable natural materials, achieving a perfect synthesis of aesthetics and functionality.

EXHIBITED PRODUCTS

Precise silhouette and straight lines: visitors are welcomed by the new linear Biscuit sofa by Piero Lissoni, rigorous yet welcoming, raised on slender metal feet covered in wood. Framed by ash wood back and side panels, Biscuit features large, firm cushions designed to provide maximum comfort, resting on a a metal frame base, covered in fabric. Here, formal and informal coexist, and pure and soft geometries interact with wood, perfectly in line with Porro’s style.

Giving a unique twist to this living space, which can also be interpreted as the waiting area of a hotel or an office, the iconic Balancing Boxes coffee table by Front consists of a series of red-gum wooden boxes stacked irregularly, balancing in space.

Against the wall, the Origata console by Nao Tamura in arancio siena lacquer frames a reception area or an ascetic workspace. It showcases a monolithic design and draws inspiration from the art of making kimonos, the traditional Japanese garment. Similar to how kimonos are crafted from a flat, rectangular fabric that is cut in straight lines and sewn together to minimize waste, Origata is crafted from a single sheet of aluminium, cut and assembled using screws to maximise material efficiency.

The new Twin sideboard by Dordoni Studio in black stained ash, drawing inspiration from constructivist geometry, is also characterized by a sculpted form with an architectural concept. Its aesthetic purity stems from the intersection of two distinct yet harmoniously connected volumes, further enhanced by a mirror. A solid volume features a drawer that can be fitted with maple dividers serving as glass and bottle holders; next to it, a section closed by a lid.

A meeting room with strong character showcases the Metallico table by Piero Lissoni, distinguished by the lightness of its top and legs, made of solid aluminum with a 12 mm thickness. It stands out for its distinctive burnish effect surface finish.
Surrounding the table are the Sixte dining chairs by Christophe Pillet, featuring a iron painted tubular metal frame with black leather cushions. Seamlessly integrated into Porro’s creative habitat, they introduce a Parisian-inspired elegance and a new dimension of relaxation.

Bright and light, Storage system of wardrobes by Piero Lissoni + CRS Porro is a true architecture designing the space, demonstrating its versatility also as a high-capacity container for the living area. It is presented in black sugi, an enveloping, extremely sophisticated finish, antique and modern at the same time, combined with the black painted metal frame and the transparent glass doors. The light embedded in the shelf highlights Storage graphic design and follows its lines, transforming it into a stage for your clothes and objects.

The Load-it bookshelving system is a Porro signature item designed by Wolfgang Tolk in 1995 and characterised by protruding shelves that slice through the space. It is combined with the Modern suspended top in black-stained ash: an ideal solution for enhancing a transition space through a bookshelving solution with home-working station and embedded lighting, consisting of magnetic spotlights that can be positioned at will along the electrified profile under the shelf.
