NID dining chair

Name: NID dining chair
Brand: porro

After having worked together on iconic products such as the Nouvelle Vague chaise longue, the Jade lounge chair and the Shahnan coffee table, Porro reunites with French designer Christophe Pillet to initiate a dialogue, a confrontation and an exchange of ideas on one of the company’s key objects: the chair.

The designer’s long experience in balancing comfort and essentiality, as well as his refined taste for detail, is evident in the new Nid chair, which builds a conceptual bridge between history and contemporary design, made up of cross-references, quotations and new paths.
The extreme abstraction of the chair’s silhouette - a softly padded ash shell - meets various options for the base. From the functionality and robustness of the 4 legs in die-cast aluminium suitable for contract spaces, to the warmth of the 4 legs in wood, the company’s favourite material, designed for home interiors: as a sculpted essence, Nid is a dialogue between design and craftsmanship, merging harmony and gentleness, giving new life to an uninterrupted design thinking process.

Brand

porro

Since 1925 the Porro family manages a company supporting a unique furnishing philosophy, matching handicraft tradition of the time with the most modern advanced manufacturing and information technologies. The furnishing culture as family wealth, together with the diktats, production is based on, that is formal cleanness, shape and function geometry, are the buttonholes allowing Porro to consistently get a more and more consistent international market share without forgetting or betraying its origins.

The brand at present too stands out for its product quality and customer service. Two basic features which still depend on the consistent connection to the local territory supporting Porro foundation and growth, to the skill and expertise of its employees and finally to an extremely flexible production and manufacturing activity organisation, consistently and rapidly complying with any standard or customised request.

Among the most looked-for furnishing brands on the market, Porro stands out for its essential and immediately identified language, with simple signs, geometries, shapes, without forgetting in case of highly complex production processing too, its unique company philosophy: simplicity above all.

All Porro products are the result of a subtraction, from a progressive simplification process. Systems which are complex too, are the result of a very simple aesthetic vision, based on consistency, simplification, simplicity, without forgetting quality, the best possible quality at all.
