Designed by
[ES] La idea principal para la butaca Porta surgió observando el
pórtico de entrada del Palacio de la Asamblea de Chandigarh,
proyectado por Le Corbusier en 1951. La butaca es una abstracción
del brutalismo y la dualidad de este pórtico, combinando el
carácter suave y adaptable de un elemento protagonista curvo
con el carácter riguroso y rectilíneo de los planos paralelos que lo
soportan. Porta es una butaca de respaldo alto de gran confort.
Su construcción rigurosa exhibe unos detalles sutiles y pulidos,
y su sistema desmontable permite desensamblar las patas y
reposabrazos para optimizar su transporte y almacenaje.
[EN] The main idea for the Porta chair came from looking at the
entrance portico of the Chandigarh Assembly Hall, designed
by Le Corbusier in 1951. The armchair is an abstraction of
the brutalism and duality of this portico, combining the soft,
adaptable character of a curved protagonist element with
the rigorous, rectilinear character of the parallel planes that
support it. Porta is a high-backed armchair of great comfort.
Its rigorous construction exhibits subtle and polished details,
and its removable system allows the legs and armrests to be
disassembled to optimise transport and storage.
