Porada is an Italian furniture company — founded by the Allievi family with roots in solid wood chair production since 1948, officially established as Porada in 1968 by Luigi Allievi in Cabiate (Province of Como, Brianza, Lombardy). The company arose from Allievi's decades-long passion for the artisanal processing of solid wood — the conviction that every tree trunk carries the potential of a work of art. Today Porada is led by the sons of Luigi Allievi, carrying the family tradition into the second generation. The brand is closely associated with Canaletto walnut: the North American precious wood from ecologically sustainably managed forests, which is dried for over a year in the factory and processed by master craftspeople into furniture. In 2011, Porada acquired 220 hectares of certified forest in Burgundy (France) — operating these forests directly significantly shortens the production chain. The factory is entirely self-powered: wood waste and a solar installation on the factory roof cover the entire energy requirement.

Designer collaborations: Patrick Jouin (Ella chair, inspired by American and Japanese wood furniture design), Emmanuel Gallina, David Dolcini, Gabriele and Oscar Buratti, Staffan Tollgard, Stefano Bigi (Infinity table 2009, sculptural base in Canaletto walnut and glass — bestseller of the brand), Tarcisio Colzani, Dainelli Studio, Hans Sandgren Jakobsen, M. Marconato and T. Zappa. Product categories: dining tables, chairs, armchairs, sofas, beds, bookcases, sideboards, chests of drawers, writing furniture, lighting, rugs and accessories — all available in Canaletto walnut, ash, marble, brass or back-lacquered glass. More than 15 showrooms in Europe and the Far East.
