Porfis Chair
The Porfis chair, the first piece of the eponymous collection, stands out for the contrast between the almost artisanal warmth of raw wool and the avant-garde spirit of steel and geometric shapes.
In this search between simplicity and singularity, the designer has established a contrasting dialogue between materials, shapes and sensations, making Porfis an unclassifiable object.
The chair is also practical and sustainable, with a bag holder on the back legs, a dismountable frame and fully removable upholstery.
Its name, Porfis (short for ‘por favor’, i.e. ‘please’) is inspired by the work of conceptual artist John Baldessari, to whom it pays homage.
Sustainability and responsibility

– Timelessness and singularity of aesthetics.
