Porada | Abby

With or without armrests, Abby by Porada conserves its distinctive, elegant and compact character. Designed by Gabriele & Oscar Buratti

The Abby seating, a success since its debut in 2022, continues to evolve. The project by the duo Gabriele & Oscar Buratti for Porada takes on a new look in the version without armrests. Retaining the name and the aesthetic spirit of the original model, Abby reprises the structure in solid ash or canaletto walnut with rounded profiles, rising at the back to emphasize the support. The result is a game of materials based on the malleable solidity of the wood, which seems to be embedded in the soft padding – revealing the company’s mastery in the crafting of solid wood. The seat features delicate curves, generating an effect of light softness. The dual offering, with or without arms, permits free configuration of the two models in dining areas, residential contexts and hospitality facilities. 

The expansion of the Abby collection is part of the new Twenty-Three collection by Porada. Like the entire line, it embodies a sense of stylistic continuity and elegance, attention to detail and research on materials. To create timeless products.
