Porada
company history
Founded in 1968 by Luigi Allievi in Cabiate, in the heart of Italy’s Brianza furniture district, Porada was born from a deep-rooted passion for solid wood craftsmanship. What began as a specialist chair-making workshop has evolved into one of the most respected names in modern Italian design. Today, Porada stands as a global ambassador of refined aesthetics, balancing artisanal tradition with forward-looking design.
With over five decades of heritage, Porada remains a family-run company that merges elegance, innovation, and functional beauty. Its philosophy centers on creating timeless pieces where every curve and joint reflects the values of Italian excellence. From sculptural armchairs to sleek dining tables and sculpted mirrors, Porada’s furniture is celebrated for its organic forms, warm tones, and seamless integration into both classic and contemporary interiors.
Porada collaborates with acclaimed designers such as Tarcisio Colzani, Carlo Ballabio, and Patrick Jouin to produce collections that highlight the natural beauty of wood, especially canaletta walnut. The Porada factory crafts each product in Italy under rigorous quality control. Every piece reflects a deep respect for materials, people, and the environment. Clients who appreciate Italian craftsmanship often explore B&B Italia furniture alongside Porada collections.
Porada maintains an international presence through appearances at Salone del Mobile.Milano and exhibitions across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The brand presents collections that combine sculptural elegance with everyday functionality. Porada builds a signature style by turning simple shapes into refined statements, often enhanced by marble, glass, and brushed metals. Another Italian brand featured at Salone del Mobile Milano 2023 is Ceppi The Italian Touch.
Porada – Everything is born from the love of wood. This guiding principle continues to inspire furniture that transcends trends, embodying Italian sophistication with a modern spirit.
