Product description

Explosion of color, pure energy, patchwork of inlaid surfaces in cellulose acetate: from an accurate research work in the Alessandro Mendini Archive conducted together with Fulvia and Elisa Mendini, to the rediscovery of pieces with a timeless design not yet edited, Porro brings to light 3 new surprising cupboards.

“The name Linea was chosen because the composition of the volumes and also of the decorations of these pieces of furniture is based on the intersections of a few precise straight lines, whose play in elevation and plan determines the whole aesthetic, the whole functionality of the product.”
2015, Alessandro Mendini

Bold pieces with a radical design, in which red, blue, and light blue details, illuminated by the light hues of yellow and white and made deep by black in chiaroscuro, tell of the need for decoration in contemporary life, eschewing a tout-court minimalism: an ode to creativity, the beauty of craftsmanship, and the value of quality beyond the ages, revealing at the same time the fascinatio for an out of the ordinary talent, and at the same time a tribute to a great master of design such as Alessandro Mendini.
