Porro: Arnaldo Small by Yabu Pushelberg

With the Arnaldo Small Armchair, the internationally active studio Yabu Pushelberg expands Porro’s collection with an armchair that combines formal rigor with soft lines. The designers, with teams in New York and Toronto, bring a global perspective to the project and translate it into a piece of furniture that emphasizes minimalism and attention to detail.

The armchair is characterized by a seat that appears to float between the backrest and the armrests. This design principle creates a balanced relationship between volume and negative space, giving the compact piece a calm, inviting presence. The upholstery, available in fabric or leather, follows the organic contours and underscores the piece’s cozy character.

Arnaldo is designed as a durable piece for private interiors, but is equally suited for use in hotels and lounges, where it serves as a understated yet striking element. Its design demonstrates how diverse cultural influences come together in a clear, emotional design language.
