Cuna Lounge Low evolves from the Cuna executive armchair, conceived as a solution for living environments. The design preserves the collection’s aesthetic language, inspired by the timeless elegance of 1950s design. The structure is defined by a solid Canaletta walnut shell, crafted to form a continuous curved line that envelops the seat and backrest. This fluid gesture creates a dialogue between structure and upholstery, with cushions that naturally follow the shell’s silhouette. The broader proportions and increased seat depth enhance overall comfort, further supported by ergonomic cushioning. Upholstery options, available in the collection’s fabrics, allow for wide customization while emphasizing Porada’s signature tailoring. From a technical standpoint, Cuna Lounge Low retains the synchronized swivel mechanism, ensuring continuity within the collection and versatility in both residential and contract contexts.
