Founded in 1948 by Luigi Allievi, Porada began with a singular passion: transforming raw wood into artful furniture. From its early focus on chair production, the Italian company has grown into an distinguished furniture house where skilled artisans treat each piece as their own creation. The company’s international recognition stems from its masterful balance of form and function, developed over half a century of woodworking excellence. Under the leadership of Allievi’s sons, Porada collaborates with renowned designers like Marconato and Zappa, Carlo Ballabio, and Emmanuel Gallina to create refined pieces that marry traditional craftsmanship with contemporary elegance. What truly sets Porada apart isn’t its machinery or materials, but its people—craftspeople who have become part of the company’s extended family, bringing passion and precision to every piece they create.
