15 Dec Porada
Brand Story
By Andrew Rizza
Dream Design Creative Director
Porada is respected for its mastery of wood. Solid wood, worked with the craftsmanship of those who know how to transform a log into a work of art. Founded in 1948 by Luigi Allievi, who was later joined by his four sons.
In 1968, Allievi & Sons became Porada, named after the district in which the original factory was built. The brand has since flourished through fruitful collaborations with a who’s who of Italian designers and architects.
The key that has allowed the company to successfully establish itself in international markets is undoubtedly its great ability to find in each object the right balance between form and function, together with an evolved and modern taste but at the same time sober and essential for pieces destined to last over time. A job that in half a century has managed to transform the founder’s dream into reality.
