Material Dialogue


These ‘Tenco’ side tables by Porada are a good example of the Italian company’s ability to find the right balance between form and function. For over half a century it has shown commitment to beautiful materials, most notably solid canaletta walnut. Here, the timber is combined with a brushed brass metal base and top – creating a contrast between the lightness of the frame with its cut-out aperture, and the solidity of the metal.
