Masterful Manipulation

Porada celebrates 70 years in business this year, and this ‘Fuji’ walnut dining table shows off the Italian brand’s most enduring talent – the ability to manipulate timber to bring out its fullest beauty. The design was inspired by an opening flower bud; its base is created from a single panel with 12 folding cuts, while the tabletop plunges inward at the centre, creating a well for a vase or plant holder, or the complementary ‘Fuji’ turntable tray. It was designed by Tarcisco Colani, one of Porada’s long-standing collaborators.
