With its undeniable charm, Argo is a modern and elegant modular sofa with frame in solid Canaletta walnut and metal feet.
Argo harmoniously combines strength and elegance. The thin structure, made of solid Canaletta walnut, contrasts the soft volumes of the upholstered seats. Argo’s strength is also versatility, thanks to the combination of different components. The bases can also accommodate containers in canaletta walnut with two sliding shelves one in wood and one in smoked glass or coffee tables with marble tops. Argo’s added values are certainly its balanced proportions and its comfortable ergonomic seat, completed by optional backrest cushions, filled with canalized goose feather. This sofa -with removable fabric covers and non-removable leather covers- is enriched by brushed brass or black chrome end-feet.
David was born near Milan. His vision and approach to design comes from a combination of different educational and professional experiences abroad over the years. After finishing his studies at Politecnico di Milano, he founded in 2007 his own brand DAVID DOLCINI STUDIO, which deals mainly with product and industrial design, interior design, exhibition design and art direction. Some of his works have been selected for international exhibitions and exhibited at Palazzo Arte della Triennale di Milano. In 2012 he opened a new base of operations in Valencia, Spain. His fruitful collaboration with Porada began in 2013 and since then he has designed some of the company’s iconic products, including Aria and Argo. The key points that characterize David’s methodological approach are: accurate and sartorial work, innovation, Italian identity and international openness. “As to me, design is a magical balance. A process of synthesis able to condense the complexities of a project into an essential and organic product, but still full of meaning.”
