Hita
Made by Porro
Designed by Rodolfo Dordoni
Hita is Dordoni Studio's second collaboration with Porro, and it carries the same sensibility as the Twin sideboard before it: a continuous outer volume that reads as sculpture before it reads as seating. The silhouette is taut, even severe at first glance, with fabric stretched firmly across the backrest shell.
The contrast arrives from within. A generously cushioned seat softens the rigorous exterior, creating a quiet dialogue between restraint and comfort that defines the chair's character.
The asymmetrical conical base in wood is structural and compositional in equal measure. Its swiveling mechanism, available with an optional return function, keeps the form dynamic without compromising the overall precision of the piece. The base tapers the chair's visual weight, lending it an almost airborne quality despite its evident solidity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the Porro Hita lounge chair?
Hita was designed by Dordoni Studio, the practice led by Rodolfo Dordoni. It marks the studio's second collaboration with Porro, following the Twin sideboard, and continues their shared interest in sculptural form balanced with precise materiality.
What materials are used in the Hita chair?
The Hita chair combines a fabric-upholstered backrest shell with a deeply cushioned seat, and an asymmetrical conical base in wood. The interplay between the taut exterior surface and the soft interior padding is central to the chair's design logic.
Does the Hita chair swivel, and what is the return function?
Yes, the Hita features a swiveling base mechanism. An optional return function is available, which automatically brings the seat back to its original position after rotation, preserving the compositional intent of the piece within a space.
What design philosophy does Porro bring to seating?
Porro approaches seating as an extension of its broader commitment to form and material precision. The brand consistently works with leading designers to produce pieces where structure and surface are inseparable, rather than treating upholstery as decoration applied over a frame.
How does the Hita chair fit within a residential or contract interior?
The Hita's sculpted silhouette and swivel base give it presence as a stand-alone piece in a residential living room or a hospitality setting. Its compact footprint and visual clarity make it compatible with both minimal interiors and more layered, eclectic spaces.
