Working - Modern Cabinet
Made by Porro
Designed by Piero Lissoni
Piero Lissoni's Working system for Porro begins with a single discipline: the 400 mm module. Every element, whether oriented vertically or horizontally, derives its proportion from this unit, so a composed wall of storage reads as a single architectural gesture rather than an assembly of parts.
A 45-degree mitered joint between the side panel and top eliminates the need for a cover panel, sharpening each corner to a precise edge. The detail is structural and visual at once, giving the cabinet its characteristic silhouette without ornament.
- Modular elements arranged vertically or horizontally within a 400 mm grid
- Mitered 45-degree joint between side and top, no cover panel required
- Available in a range of sizes, finishes, and configurations
Working is conceived for offices, studies, and professional interiors where storage must remain visually calm. The system's restraint is its character: clear geometry, considered finishing, and a consistency of form that allows it to recede into the architecture or define it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the module size that governs the Working system?
The Working system is built on a rigorous 400 mm module. Every cabinet element, regardless of orientation or configuration, adheres to this unit, ensuring that mixed arrangements of vertical and horizontal pieces maintain consistent visual order.
What is the purpose of the 45-degree joint on the Working cabinet?
The mitered 45-degree joint between the side panel and top is both structural and aesthetic. It eliminates the need for a separate cover panel, producing a sharp, clean edge at each corner and reinforcing the cabinet's precise, unornamented silhouette.
Who designed the Working cabinet, and what is their design philosophy?
Piero Lissoni designed the Working system. His approach is grounded in geometric clarity and the reduction of form to its most essential geometry, a sensibility that runs consistently through his collaborations with Porro across storage, shelving, and living systems.
Is the Working system suitable for a home office as well as a commercial office?
Yes. The system's modular logic and refined finishing options make it appropriate for both residential studies and professional office environments. Its visual calm and architectural consistency allow it to integrate with a wide range of interior contexts without imposing a corporate or domestic aesthetic.
What finishes and configurations are available for the Working cabinet?
Porro offers the Working system in multiple sizes, finishes, and configurations. Elements can be arranged horizontally or vertically and combined freely within the 400 mm grid, allowing a custom solution that responds to the specific proportions and requirements of a given interior.
