Overview

CUBOVO By Porro

Designer: Bruno Munari

Manufacture year: 2008

Type: Wooden food trolley with drawers

Cubovo container was designed by Munari in 1962, it was created by Porro during the 1990s to celebrate a retrospective on the artist, in Cantù.‎ A piece with a highly distinctive design, which Porro brought back to life in 2008 at the “Spazio-Tempo” presentation by proposing it as a food trolley or an original bedside table.‎ Porro and Munari's first encounter dates back to the Sixties, when the company gave the designer the task of modernising the brand: the result was the current Porro logo, in which the two “o's” in the Porro name became the most representative symbol of a company dedicated to woodworking: two screws, seen from above.‎
