Front‘s new Black & White storage range for Italian design house Porro (directed by Piero Lissoni) plays with the softening effect of wavy, hand-made look lines on rigid, conventional furniture forms. The all-girl Swedish design ensemble want to create for ‘people who have not forgotten emotion in furnishing’. Even (or maybe especially) if it’s furniture for the workplace. I like Lissoni’s view of the world and Front’s is a direction that slots right in with Porro’s bigger vision for more sensual, emotional work spaces, with technology taking a step back. Sounds good.
If you’re in Milan any time soon, the Porro take on office furniture is now on show at their showroom at Via Durini, 15.
