28/02/2024 - From Japan to New York, balancing memory and innovation, archaic forms and contemporaneity. Porro presents the new Origata bench designed by Nao Tamura, a Japanese designer specialized in communication and graphic design.

Monolithic in appearance, Origata is inspired by the making of kimonos, the traditional Japanese garments, where the flat and rectangular fabric is cut in straight lines and then sewn together with little to no waste: a principle taken up in the creation of the bench, made from a sheet of aluminum cut and assembled through screws, maximizing the use of the material.  A minimalist geometry and a pop object, a brutalist architecture softened by a soft cushion, Origata is a three-dimensional sculpture and a visual game in the name of symmetry, balance and the expressive power of colour. 

The Origata bench will be presented during the Fuorisalone 2024 in the Porro Showroom in Via Visconti di Modrone 29.
