Porada was established in 1968 by Luigi Allievi with the help of his 4 sons in order to expand the production of chairs, started in 1948, to other branches of home furnishing.
This Giotto Coffee table is my personal favourite from their current collection and illustrates perfectly the result when combining modern technological processes with the traditional artisan style of the area.
See Porada for further details.

This September, Fritz Hansen launches the classic and versatile Arne Jacobsen’s ‘Series 7′ chair in seven new colours, including the hot pink one (above) by Arik Levy. This extremely comfortable chair was made famous when Christine Keeler, the woman at the centre of the Profumo Scandal was shot in 1963, sitting nude astride a cheaper version of the now iconic chair. The fake can now be seen in the V&A collection and can be viewed online at the V&A website.

In our seemingly never ending search for a funky wedding venue, my girlfriend and I came across this stunning Private Members Club in Shoreditch, London Ec1.
The retro inspired decor blew us away with its low vintage sofas and chairs, 1970′s sideboards and luscious lighting, I would go as far as to say it is one of the coolest looking venues I have been to in London. However there was one sticking point, they do not hold a license to host Civil Ceremonies…. decisions decisions!!!
