"The dining table has always been the centerpiece of domestic conviviality: an element capable of defining the space and welcoming moments of sharing and connection." With the Saddle collection, Porada builds on this principle, presenting designs that combine sculptural presence with functional versatility, aimed at a European audience increasingly attentive to both craftsmanship and material expression.
The collection is characterised by a distinctive silhouette that "emphasises and enhances the sculptural nature of the design, creating a strong visual impact while seamlessly combining function and formal expressiveness." Both tables reflect Porada's expertise in solid wood craftsmanship, particularly through the use of Canaletta walnut, a defining material of the brand.
Saddle 1 centres on a single sculptural base in solid Canaletta walnut, developed from a circular central foot that branches into three sections. Its organic lines create "a balanced interplay of solids and voids, expressing a dialogue between stability and lightness." The table supports a round top available in glass, marble, wood or Rock, offering flexibility across a wide range of interior applications, from minimalist transparency to more material-driven compositions.

Saddle 2 expands on this concept with a double-base structure, reinforcing the brand's artisanal identity. The design "naturally interprets organic forms in a continuous dialogue between solids and voids, conveying a sense of balance between solidity and visual lightness." Each base element evolves from a central foot and extends vertically in two directions, supporting a rectangular top, also available in glass, marble, wood or Rock.
Responding to the growing demand for tailored interiors, Saddle 2 has been engineered with customisation in mind. The design process has enabled "technically refined solutions that allow for large-scale bespoke dimensions, maximising the product's versatility across different uses."
With the Saddle collection, Porada continues to position itself at the intersection of craftsmanship and contemporary design, offering adaptable solutions that align with evolving European living spaces while maintaining a strong sculptural identity.
