The Webby collection by Porada is designed to give a classy touch to all elegant modern living rooms.
Webby family includes a trio of seats: the refined bench, the kitchen stools and the footstools. They are all gathered under a distinctive trait: the wooden frame, available in different dimensions, in Canaletta walnut or ash solid wood, available in the finishes of the collection, including four minimalist style legs that match perfectly with the design of the Ziggy collection. The careful craftsmanship and tailoring stand out self-evidently from the upholstered seats with capitonné, in the fabrics or leathers of the collection, as well as from the precise curvilinear stitching. The buttons can be tone-on-tone or in contrast with the seat, allowing many customization options and making each element as unique as possible.
