Compasso d’Oro: Honourable Mention for Porro’s Origata   Origata by Nao Tamura for Porro receives an Honorable Mention at the 29th Edition of the ADI Compasso d’Oro Award Origata, the collection designed by Japanese designer Nao Tamura for Porro, has received an Honorable Mention at the 29th Edition of the ADI Compasso d’Oro Award. As a result of this recognition, — awarded to works distinguished by design quality, research, and innovation —the Origata becomes part of the ADI Compasso d’Oro Historical Collection, contributing to the preservation and enhancement of Italian and international design culture. A construction principle inspired by the kimono Origata emerges from the observation of the traditional Japanese kimono construction system, in which a roll of fabric is cut into geometric shapes according to a logic of maximum optimization and minimal waste. Translating this principle into metal, the project uses a single sheet of aluminum, cut into complementary shapes and assembled through a visible screw system. The structure takes shape through an essential process in which construction, material, and language coincide. Origata is made from a 3000 x 1500 x 6 mm sheet of aluminum. With minimal waste, the shapes of the top and legs are laser-cut, then bent according to the final design angles. Before bending, one of the legs is engraved with the signature and logo. The final finish is achieved through high-resistance powder coating, available in Porro’s full range of glossy colors, combining craftsmanship and industrial technology. The result is a collection defined by formal balance, geometric precision, and production efficiency. Culture, technology and research With Origata, the Japanese designer based in New York, Nao Tamura, develops a reflection on the relationship between design culture, industrial processes, and technological innovation, translating a traditional principle into a contemporary construction system. This recognition confirms the value of the research developed with Porro and the brand’s role in the international contemporary design landscape.
