With its minimalist and sophisticated personality, Nara is classified as a family of dressers and nightstands designed by David Dolcini.
Natural extension of the Kanto collection, these modern furniture complements have inherited its metal base in matte black finish made exclusively through die-cast aluminium. The structure is made of Canaletta walnut, Porada’s iconic wood, available in three finishes – natural, Moka-stained and Wengé-stained – to best suit any style. The rounded profiles highlight the well-defined proportions of this design, while useful drawers enhance its functionality. The modern nightstands – available in two different heights – and the Nara wooden drawer units, are the perfect complements for a contemporary bedroom, both in domestic and contract spaces.
