Can any project be good as its own idea? The guys in Prostoria, believe that it is through a creative process using design and craft skills that ideas about objects come to life, and that the shadows complete each object’s form. Prostoria is appearing in the Tortona Zone ( Salone Del Mobile ) for the second time, which along with city life also represents the soul of this famous and largest furniture event in the world. Both new and old collections in new colors are being exhibited within the theme of Shapes and Shadows. “We are shaped by rich contrasts, by Mediterranean sensuality that meets continental rationality.
