The Porro systems and furniture, characterized by the select mix of finishes, the clean lines and the impeccable details are shown inside the Hotel Particulier, ambient conceived by Peter Lissoni for the project installation Elle Decor Grand Hotel.
An invitation to enter and discover the intimacy of an aristocratic residence of the past centuries, changing the aesthetics of the spaces and using the stylistic figure of Italian architects among XVI and XVII century, in a dialogue between history and modernity. Following the evolution of the hotellerie, it has been developed a new conception of hotel as place of experience: public spaces to live, furnished with pieces of contemporary design, that ties with the scenography of historical buildings exteriors, photographically reproduced on the walls.
In this context Porro project becomes immediately recognizable for an essential language, which prefers great aesthetical simplicity and hides a game of stratifications and oscillations between present and past, expression of the company’s furnish philosophy. The search on finishings, the refinement of the lines and the technical quality of the details of Porro pieces, presented in the exhibition itinerary, reveal a continuous research on the production and materials, conjugating handicraft tradition of the time with the most modern advanced manufacturing and information technologies.
The first expression of Porro’s formal cleanness, shape and function geometry reveal itself inside the Bibliothèque: an intimacy place where you can hide and explore the world, it’s defined by using a composition of the modular System by Piero Lissoni in canaletto walnut collocated on the entire room walls enclosing the ambience and the person. With the wide variety and superior quality of its finishes, System is the ideal solution to plan custom furnishing projects, since it can be intelligently adapted to create highly diverse settings complying the personality, tastes and lifestyles of who lives it. Inspired by the precision and flexible project features of fine contemporary design, the canaletto walnut composition presented, has a strong and balanced personality defining room areas in a definitive way, while improving their efficiency and appearance.
