Porada has unveiled its new flagship store in New York City, located at 185 Madison Avenue on the corner of 34th Street—right in the heart of the city’s Italian design district. The prestigious location reflects the brand’s deep connection to the values of Italian craftsmanship and design.
The 450-square-meter showroom, spread across a single floor with street-facing windows on both Madison Avenue and 34th Street, showcases the full breadth of Porada’s collections. Among the highlights are some of the brand’s most iconic pieces, including the Infinity table, the Softbay bed, the Aria bookcase, the Ester chairs, and the My Suite wardrobe.
Special attention has been given to the preferences of the North American market, with an emphasis on larger-scale furnishings to meet local demands.
This opening marks a significant milestone in Porada’s ongoing journey of international growth and brand recognition.
By invitation only:
May 16th, from 5 to 9pm, guests are welcome for the Grand Opening Party.
Special guest: Mauro Elli, 1 Michelin star chef from Italy
