NID dining chair
After having worked together on iconic products such as the Nouvelle Vague chaise longue, the Jade lounge chair and the Shahnan coffee table, Porro reunites with French designer Christophe Pillet to initiate a dialogue, a confrontation and an exchange of ideas on one of the company’s key objects: the chair.
The designer’s long experience in balancing comfort and essentiality, as well as his refined taste for detail, is evident in the new Nid chair, which builds a conceptual bridge between history and contemporary design, made up of cross-references, quotations and new paths.
The extreme abstraction of the chair’s silhouette - a softly padded ash shell - meets various options for the base. From the functionality and robustness of the 4 legs in die-cast aluminium suitable for contract spaces, to the warmth of the 4 legs in wood, the company’s favourite material, designed for home interiors: as a sculpted essence, Nid is a dialogue between design and craftsmanship, merging harmony and gentleness, giving new life to an uninterrupted design thinking process.
