The dining chair with arms Frida features an elegant and refined solid canaletta walnut frame, showcasing Porada’s craftsmanship in woodworking.
Wood is the true protagonist of this design, as well as of other items in the collection. The canaletta walnut can be paired with all fabrics and leathers of the collection. The design, simple yet carefully crafted to make Frida a pure example of design, reflects the essentiality typical of Porada’s dining chair collection. The structure consists of a continuous wooden element onto which the back legs and seat supports are inserted, while the contrast between flat and curved surfaces gives the chair a modern and sophisticated look.
