The range of dining chairs by Porada is enriched with Molly, a canaletta walnut chair with a non-conventional structure.
The front legs are connected to the higher-placed rear legs through a continuous wooden ring. This design creates a chair with lightweight armrests that simultaneously provide solidity to the structure, contributing to its distinctive aesthetic. Molly’s silhouette has an enveloping and fluid shape that highlights the craftsmanship in woodworking supporting the seat and backrest. The upholstered elements, separate and available in fabrics from the collection, appear almost suspended, accentuating the sinuous forms of the wooden frame. Molly is a product with a contemporary flair that adds dynamism to the decor of the living area, offering distinctive elegance and cozy comfort.
