Umberto Asnago, a designer and art director, commenced his career in 1968 with GIORGETTI, following graduation from the Art Institute of Cantù. Rising from a designer to chief director of the Research Centre, he maintained a long and ongoing relationship marked by innovation and the celebration of cabinet-making traditions. Since 2006, Asnago has focused exclusively on design and creative consulting, forming significant partnerships with renowned “Made in Italy” design brands. He serves as the art director for PENTA LIGHT, handles art direction and design for 4MARIANI, and acts as a product designer for ARFLEX, FRIGERIO SALOTTI, IVANO REDAELLI, BODEMA, and PORADA. Additionally, he creates exhibition and retail design projects for furniture and fashion companies.
For more than 70 years, Porada furniture has been one of the finest expressions of high-end Italian design, winning fans all over the world thanks to the quality of its craftsmanship and the striking elegance of its creations. Unlike other top brands in Italian interior design, Porada furniture continues to place a primary emphasis on wood. The company regularly collaborates with ground-breaking international designers and experiments with the most innovative materials, yet the noble expressiveness of wood remains a key element in a majority of its creations. The brand has garnered a reputation for superior quality and constructive excellence, leading to the opening of its prestigious London showroom. But the success of Porada furniture is also the fruit of its unique aesthetic appeal, which expertly mixes timeless elements with daring contemporary solutions.
