Connecting to designers with the commitment of craftsmanship, Portego is a design platform conceived by Flavia Testi and Stefano Rossi, that produces items which express the Italian manufacturing excellence, in particular of the Veneto region. Portego is expanding its collection with five new projects from five designers.

Among the new pieces we find Genesini, a series of wooden hooks by Davide Aquini that celebrates the Venetian tradition of wood inlays, and the borosilicate glass sculptures by Simone Crestani Atelier, with his Algae collection. Seraina Lareida interprets the relationship between Venetian buildings and the surrounding water through two rug collections: Sottovolto and OCI. Miniportrait is a new small accessory collection that reproduces the plissé of oriental fans, as part of the Portego Selfportait mirror by Ilaria Innocenti and Giorgio Laboratore.
