Designer  Gam Fratesi

Romby designed by GamFratesi for Porro is a swivel chair made with base in solid ash, and seat padded and 

upholstered in fabric or leather.

The new Romby padded chair by GamFratesi, in the irresistible allure of the red fabric or the impeccable elegance 

of the black leather, has been protagonist in the course of the Summer on the international press. Let’s take a look 

at its press review and discover the new versions: with the softly curved seat covered with a black and white fabric, 

and the distinctive tapered and turned base with black stained ash, or with olive green fabric and natural ash base, 

revealing the exceptional Porro’s savoir-faire in an apparently effortless result.

Geometric allure and retro look give the Romby chair an abstract charm.

Perfect in a dining room or in a working environment, Romby is a cocoon armchair with impeccable proportions 

and workmanship, which embraces the body while leaving it free to move, surrounded by a feeling of great lightness.

Romby consists of two structural elements featuring well-balanced sizes and materials. The truncated conical base 

in natural or black stained ash solid wood, is connected to a soft and compact padded swivel seat.

The swivel base is composed of 12 solid wood boards, which are joined and then turned and brushed through an 

exquisite cabinet-making workmanship until a perfect truncated cone is obtained and the natural grain of solid 

wood stands out.

The upholstered seat is the result of foam moulding and of a perfectly finished and tight-fitting cover that creates 

a soft and enveloping shell.

The chair, whose cover cannot be removed, comes in all fabrics, leathers, eco-leathers and Nabuk of the Porro Collection, 

execpt for velvet.

From the transformation of the Romby chair comes the Romby armchair for all-round use, opening up new 

possibilities in the home office and contract sector.

The shapes of the padded shell seem to blossom, widening and rising to create the armrests, releasing a new, 

unprecedented feeling of softness and naturalness, but still retaining the lightness and minimalism of the original model.

The truncated cone base, on the other hand, gives way to the convenience of 4 central wooden legs, a sort of 

change of clothes with the visual effect of a full, suspended upper volume that seems to take flight, in the name 

of cosiness and functionality.

Dimensions. Armchair: L. 627 x H. 805 x P. 533 mm.
