Sleek, luxurious and timeless, “The touch of wood gives a warmth and elegance that the minimalist pieces don’t have,” says the brand. “Solid wood is a live material, not like plastic.” Porada’s mission is to extend this passion for wood to every detail of the home.

Adagio by Daniel libeskind The ADAGIO Sofa brings together a synergy of architectural form and everyday comfort. ADAGIO means slow or at ease. The canted arms and back re-imagine the rigid structure of a traditional sofa creating more comfortable movement and a dynamic form.

The materials and colors are inspired by classic Italian design. “The design celebrates the subtle details of the everyday form and the excellence of Italian craftsmanship,” said architect and designer Daniel Libeskind.

The upholstered back is high and inclined, while the single soft cushion is trapezoidal in form, combined with a chaise longue element that also has an asymmetrical form. The armrests are padded or in painted metal. Unusual angles and thicknesses, with no orthogonal joints, because the harmony comes from the balanced composition of the volumes.

Agave by Antonio Citterio This elegant armchair with a structure in solid wood and soft padding for the seat and back evokes the image of the 1940s. The slender curved wood of the armrests becomes a modern reinterpretation of the forms of memory. The back, enhanced by a natural woven wicker pattern, suggesting the texture of Vienna straw, adds a precious retro touch. A discreet, warm object, right at home in any space. The AGAVE armchair is joined by a new bergère with a high upholstered back, providing great comfort for the shoulders and head. The distinctive feature of this collection is the special handwoven wicker back, along with the slender curve of the armrests.

PENTA IS FOURTY! FOURTY YEARS OF LIFE, WORK AND PASSION! We want to celebrate with you this anniversary, proposing new collections that represent all souls of our firm: elegance, warmth, design, light, glamour, functionality and technology.

Thanks for having shared this journey with us … and for going on doing that!

Born in 1975, Penta marked out immediately in the furnishing market for the originality of its proposal: production and sale of basic complements to decorate the house. However, the firm belief that being successful meant offering excellent quality together with an intriguing and recognizable design, pushed the firm to specialize in one of the original branches: lighting.

Since then the development of Penta has not stopped, making it part of the limited bunch of leading firms in this field.

In the years the collection has evolved as well, maintaining intact all characteristics that make it different and thus exclusive: quality, elegance, functionality and brilliant matching of materials. Fundamental to this goal is the extreme specialization of the production, the constant exchange of know-how with technicians and designers and the strict quality control.

Experience, quality, trust and extreme product control in any step of its creation, allowed Penta to make itself known in the contract field too. In the decades many projects were developed and realized for hotels, restaurants, ships and other public locations.

Even if Penta is now a strong and well known brand, the research continues both on the side of production, thanks to designers and technicians always more specialized, that can join image to perfect construction and on the side of service, granting therefore accuracy and punctuality.

Flora Vase by Todd Bracher The vase mixes curves with slenderness: a contrast often found in nature. The shape is unexpected rather than symmetrical; its asymmetry is also a feature borrowed from nature. The strong angles and gentle curves make the vase a striking decorative piece for any surface.

The mirrored surface reflects the flowers, creating a dramatic effect that accentuates the natural colour and texture of the flowers. Together, the vase and its contents create a totally unique display that changes with each flower arrangement.

Materials: Polished stainless steel Measurements: H: 23 cm
