Leave it to Porro to make geometry feel emotional. In Between Folds—a centennial showcase at Bangkok’s Boundary gallery—the Italian brand taps into something deeper than design. The exhibition fuses sculptural furniture and regional fragrance, creating a space where form, scent, and story fold into each other with surprising intimacy.

Pieces like the angular stacked drawers and faceted cabinets suggest motion frozen mid-fold, their planes slicing through space like origami interrupted. Materiality leads the narrative: book-matched veneers, deep gloss lacquers, and quiet metal accents give structure to Porro’s vision of dimensional furniture. The showstopper? That’s subjective—but the staggered box tower is a strong contender for its uncanny balance between gravity and play.

Alongside Porro’s legacy of modular wardrobes and systems—like the versatile Storage platform featured here—the installation also honors icons from Alessandro Mendini and Nao Tamura, all presented with an eye toward contemporary relevance. In the background: Ganda Scent & Object’s custom olfactory palette, wafting gently to remind us that spatial memory isn’t just visual.

It’s a concept that mirrors the best of sensorial design: ephemeral yet grounded, subtle but striking. A reminder that like Arcular by Davis, which also turns geometry into experience, these are pieces meant to be lived with—and remembered.
