Porada, Italian excellence
Born in 1968 in Cabiate, just steps from the enchanting shores of Lake Como, Porada extends the history initiated twenty years earlier by Luigi Allievi, then a master craftsman of solid wood chairs. In half a century, the family workshop has transformed into an international signature of exceptional furniture, without ever renouncing the spirit of excellence that constitutes its foundation. And Porada has become a trusted name at Pacific Compagnie.
Porada's uniqueness lies in this rare balance between purity of lines and intelligence of use. Each piece, refined to the essential, seems sculpted to stand the test of time and inscribe in space a silent elegance—that inimitable quality of the most accomplished Italian design. But while the nobility of the woods and mastery of contemporary technologies are undeniable, Porada's soul remains profoundly human: a loyal team, heir to a savoir-faire passed down with constancy, which shapes each creation with the same passion as in the early days.
Surrounded by Italy's greatest designers, Porada creates furniture where functionality, aesthetics and innovation blend, while respecting with devotion the artisanal gestures that have forged its identity. Each piece transcends mere function to become a daily companion, a harmonious presence that tells of a refined, authentic and profoundly contemporary art of living.
Today, Porada stands as an emblem of lasting refinement in the world of high-end furniture. Anchored in an absolute love of wood, yet resolutely turned toward the future, the house embodies a timeless Italian elegance, having become an essential reference on the international design scene.

Osmose dining table
Elegance becomes art with the magnificent Osmose table by Porada—an exceptional piece designed for the most refined interiors.
Designed by French designer Patrick Jouin, it embodies the perfect fusion between two noble materials: solid Canaletta walnut wood and precious marble.
Distinguished by the Archiproducts Design Award 2023 for its material audacity and finishing quality, the Osmose table seduces with its sculptural silhouette, with marble legs that emerge like natural stalactites and extend under the table in inlays, creating a subtle play between wood and stone. The Canaletta walnut wood, worked in curved edge, envelops the whole with a rare warmth and sophistication.
Intended for a luxury or high-end interior—whether a master's house, a contemporary loft or an elegant reception space—the Osmose table imposes its presence while letting the room breathe through its controlled proportions. It naturally becomes the center of conviviality, enhanced by its sculptural aesthetic.
Materials: Solid Canaletta walnut top, marble legs/structure—depending on version, white Carrara marble or grey Carnico marble (also called "Grey Carnico"); marble inlays matching the legs (same tone); so-called "drop" shapes or scattered inserts that align visually with the positioning of the legs.

Infinity Tavolino coffee table
With Infinity Tavolino, sculpture becomes furniture and furniture becomes a work of art. Its iconic base, formed by two wooden ribbons that intertwine in a continuous movement, captures the very essence of Porada: absolute mastery of curved wood, love of artisanal gesture and a vision of design where form tells a story.
The glass, delicately placed on this fluid architecture, creates a subtle dialogue between transparency and matter. The eye circulates, light glides, revealing the beauty of the curves, the depth of the grain and the precision of each assembly. Both airy and assertive, Infinity Tavolino imposes a rare aesthetic presence, almost hypnotic.
Designed to enhance an elegant living room, it naturally becomes the centerpiece around which the space organizes itself. More than a coffee table, it is a signature, an icon of Italian design, capable of bringing to any interior a poetic, contemporary and undeniably luxurious dimension.

Softbay sofa
With Softbay, comfort reaches a form of luxurious evidence. Its ample lines, of an almost architectural softness, compose a landscape of generous volumes where one abandons oneself with delight. The cushions, both dense and soft, envelop the body without ever engulfing it, offering that rare sensation of perfectly balanced support.
The structure, subtly curved, expresses exceptional savoir-faire: that of the Italian craftsman who sculpts the material to extract a fluid, contemporary, naturally sophisticated elegance. The finishes, impeccable, reveal the care taken to the smallest detail, from the curve of the armrests to the soothing presence of the backrest, designed to create a visual as well as tactile cocoon.
In a high-end living room, Softbay does not content itself with being a sofa: it becomes the heart of the experience. A place where one meets, where one reads, where one slows down. A permanent invitation to live comfort as an art, between domestic warmth and absolute refinement.
The Softbay sofa is distinguished by its soft and enveloping lines, which bring comfort and elegance to any living space. The solid Canaletta walnut feet, placed at the ends, recall the shape of a paperclip and become an emblematic detail of the collection. These elements support the structure and underline its contemporary aesthetic.
