Bench and consolle Origata, design Nao Tamura
From Japan to New York, balancing memory and innovation, ancient forms and modernity
Along this journey, Porro comes across the light pace of designer Nao Tamura, a specialist in communication and graphic design, who draws inspiration from Japanese culture for the small Origata collection.
The Origata bench and console showcase a monolithic design, drawing inspiration from the art of making kimonos, the traditional Japanese garment. Similar to how kimonos are crafted from a flat, rectangular fabric that is cut in straight lines and sewn together to minimize waste, these furnishings are created from a single sheet of aluminium that is cut and assembled using screws, maximising the use of material.

With its minimalist geometry and pop art influence, juxtaposing brutalist architecture and the comfort of a soft cushion, the Origata bench is a three-dimensional sculpture that plays with symmetry, balance and the expressive power of colour, offering a new vantage point on Porro’s home.
Ideal in a waiting area, entrance or in the bedroom, in both home and hospitality contexts, the Origata console frames an ascetic space for work or meditation, offering a support surface for writing, reading or working on the PC.
In its dual function, Origata is a project that combines simple gestures and aesthetic simplification, giving voice to the values shared by the designer and the brand - cultural identity, internationalism, respect for materials and a propensity for the future.

La struttura di Origata è realizzata da un foglio di alluminio sp.6 mm tagliato, piegato e assemblato attraverso un giunto dedicato, che massimizza l’utilizzo del materiale e che prende ispirazione dalla realizzazione dei kimono, in cui, per evitare scarti, il tessuto viene tagliato secondo linee rette e poi cucito.
Due sono le versioni di Origata: la panca con o senza cuscino disponibile in larghezza 2 metri, e la consolle disponibile in larghezza 142 cm. Entrambe le versioni possono essere personalizzate con tutti i colori lucidi Porro, tra cui il nuovo colore arancio siena.
Il cuscino di Origata è removibile (non sfoderabile) tramite un passante in tessuto fissato alla struttura grazie ad un tondino in metallo: un dettaglio semplice ed elegante che rispecchia la filosofia del progetto.
