The food trolley is reinterpreted by Porada and re-proposed in a contemporary key with the Jet family of service trolley.
Their shapes are the result of the design that characterizes both the Mix collection of mirrors and the Fritz small tables: wooden trays protected by a frame in solid Canaletta walnut -also available in a Wengé stained finish- and supported by a structure on wheels in matt black metal. The inside of the tops can be made in the same finish of the frame, glossy lacquered in various colours, or with the micro striped inlay to meet any type of need. The Jet 4 service trolley, unlike the other two which are distinguished respectively by wooden handles (Jet 2) or leather cord handles (Jet 1), has three shelves.
