Maurizio Marconato – 1961 and Terry Zappa – 1963 were both born in Como. They studied architecture at Politecnico di Milano University, where they graduated with honours in 1986.
After few years of experience, in 1991 they founded Studio Marconato & Zappa Architetti Associati. They have worked in the design field since 1981, creating products for major home and office furniture companies, working together through all the steps of bringing a design to the market, from the main concept to the marketing, and supporting them with graphic, photography and creation of exhibition stands. Their collaboration with Porada has led to the creation of many sophisticated design products, including the wonderful Pilar table.

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.
