The real protagonist of this simple and refined design is the eternity of the marble and the liveliness of the wood.
With its compact and contained dimensions, Maskara is a dressing table designed by Emmanuel Gallina for Porada. The frame in solid ash wood is obtained from the company’s own sustainable forests and available in all the collection’s finishes. The frame conceals a practical central drawer and elegantly supports the marble top. Porada also offers the homonymous stool, characterized by the same rounded lines with an upholstered seat in all the fabrics and leathers of the collection. An adjustable mirror with a brushed bronzed brass frame and a practical storage drawer, also made of ash wood like the structure, complete the design of the Maskara dressing table.
