Interparete - Modular System
Made by Porro
Designed by Piero Lissoni
Interparete begins with a deceptively simple premise: a wall that works. Piero Lissoni conceived this modular system for Porro as a framework that absorbs the full range of domestic and professional life, from the library to the home office, from open display to closed storage, from a single wall to a room-dividing partition.
The system's intelligence lies in its flexibility without arbitrariness. Each composition is governed by a precise internal logic, so the result reads as architecture rather than furniture. Proportions remain consistent across configurations, and the wide palette of finishes, from matte lacquers to natural wood veneers, allows the system to recede or assert itself depending on the spatial context.
- Modular structure adaptable as bookcase, media unit, office area, or room divider
- Wide range of finishes to suit varied interior sensibilities
- Designed for both residential and professional environments
- Porro production with close attention to joinery and material consistency
Lissoni's approach to the Interparete reflects his broader design sensibility: restraint in form, generosity in function. The system does not impose a single aesthetic but provides the conditions for one to emerge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the Porro Interparete system?
The Interparete was designed by Piero Lissoni, one of Italy's most prolific architects and designers, known for his disciplined approach to proportion and spatial composition. Lissoni has maintained a long creative relationship with Porro, producing systems that balance architectural rigor with domestic adaptability.
Can Interparete function as a room divider?
Yes. The system is specifically conceived to operate as a freestanding partition or room-dividing element, not only as a wall-mounted composition. Its structural modularity allows open or closed configurations that define space without requiring fixed construction.
What finishes are available for the Interparete system?
Interparete is offered in a broad palette that includes matte lacquers and natural wood veneers, allowing the system to integrate with both minimal and more richly material interiors. Finish selection significantly affects the visual weight and character of any given composition.
Is the Interparete suitable for office or professional environments?
The system was conceived from the outset for both home and professional use. Its capacity to incorporate workspace elements, closed storage, and display modules makes it well suited to executive offices, studios, or any environment requiring organized, architectural storage.
What distinguishes Porro as a furniture manufacturer?
Porro is an Italian manufacturer with a strong heritage in wood-based furniture, recognized for precision in joinery and a consistent commitment to working with leading architects and designers. The brand's production philosophy prioritizes material integrity and dimensional accuracy across its modular systems and case goods.
