CUSTOMIZABLE STORAGE SYSTEMS
Known for their attention to detail and precision, Porro started in the 1920s as a family-owned furniture business in Italy.
Today, the Porro family still heads the company aided by lead designer Piero Lissoni.
Porro revels in their identity as the top maker of customizable storage systems and case goods.
Wide variety of dimensions & configurations more than 20 woods & 30 lacquered shades offer wide freedom of combination, making each space unique and versatile.
Exceptional quality since 1925
Founded in 1925 in the Brianza area, by tradition the Italian cradle
of high-quality furniture manufacturing, today Porro is an international brand characterized by an intrinsic ability to select, work and interpret wood, offering an incredibly wide and accurate range of finishes and using it in unexpected ways by implementing cutting-edge technologies for glossy and matte lacquers alongside fine woodworking techniques
of the past.
All Porro products are the result of a subtraction and derive from a progressive simplification process. Even the systems, which are complex
in themselves, are the result of a very simple aesthetic vision, based on consistency and simplification without forgetting the highest quality.
