Alessandro Mendini works together with Porro on the new Linea Storage collection, which is defined by its smart storage solutions. It is made up of a series of colorful and unique storage units that were made by Mendini, a late postmodernist designer and architect a few years ago. It is now revived by Italian furniture brand Porro as it is developing the capsule for the first time.
Mendini first created the units with a cellulose acetate surface in primary tones. There are three items that make up the collection including two sideboard cupboard units and a writing desk. Mendini's daughters Fulvia and Elisa note, "We identified in the Alessandro Mendini archive some drawings that had a very advanced level of design. These pieces of furniture are really very faithful to the original design, we are really happy for this collaboration."
