Comfort That Looks as Good as It Feels
The Nissa Dining Chair by Porada brings a beautifully relaxed sense of luxury to the dining room, combining generous proportions with an inviting, ergonomic form. Designed by Maurizio Marconato and Terry Zappa, its softly shaped seat and back cushions are designed to adapt naturally to the body, creating a chair that feels as comfortable during a long dinner as it does around the table every day. The organic silhouette gives Nissa a warm, contemporary presence that makes the dining room feel instantly more welcoming.
Crafted Around Natural Walnut
At the heart of Nissa is a frame crafted from solid Canaletta walnut, bringing the warmth, strength and natural beauty of premium timber into the dining space. Walnut is valued for its durability and longevity, while its naturally varied grain means every frame carries its own subtle character and pattern. Available in natural, Moka-stained and Wengé-stained finishes, the wood allows Nissa to take on a lighter, warmer or more dramatic personality while retaining the timeless appeal of natural craftsmanship.
Choose the Silhouette That Suits You
Nissa is available with or without armrests, giving you the freedom to create the right balance of comfort, space and visual character around your dining table. The armless version slips beautifully beneath the table for a clean, streamlined arrangement, while the armchair version offers additional support and a more enveloping feel. Both versions share the same considered proportions and beautifully upholstered cushions, allowing you to create a dining setting that feels tailored to the way you live.
A Chair Made for More Than Dining
Although created as a dining chair, Nissa has the versatility to move effortlessly throughout the home. Its generous comfort makes it equally appealing around a boardroom table, at a desk or as an occasional chair within a sophisticated living space, while the extensive choice of fabrics and leathers allows the upholstery to become part of the wider interior scheme. Pair it with a sculptural Porada dining table for a beautifully cohesive setting, and the Nissa Dining Chair becomes more than a place to sit, bringing together Italian craftsmanship, enduring materials and everyday comfort in one distinctive design.

Lacquered Solid Wood (Stained and/or Lacquered)
Care Instructions:
– Dust regularly with a soft cloth.
– Clean spills immediately using a damp cloth, then dry thoroughly.
– Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals.
– Keep away from radiators and avoid sudden temperature changes to help prevent potential issues with the wood.
– Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
– Use coasters or felt pads beneath decorative objects to help protect the finish.
Why It Matters:
Lacquer provides a durable, long-lasting finish, protecting the wood from damage. Consistent care helps maintain the surface’s aesthetic and protective qualities, ensuring it remains in excellent condition. Expect subtle changes in the wood’s hue over time, enhancing its character.
Porada Collection Fabrics or Leathers
Care Instructions:
– For regular cleaning, vacuum upholstery with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris.
– Spot clean stains with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the fabric to prevent water damage.
– If removable, machine wash covers according to the care label. Use cold water and a gentle detergent.
– Air dry completely before reusing. For non-removable covers, blot excess moisture and let air dry.
– Store in a dry, cool place and avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading. Use protective covers for long-term storage.
– Iron removable covers on a low to medium heat setting while slightly damp. Use a pressing cloth.
Why It Matters:
Proper care helps maintain the fabric’s natural properties, ensuring longevity and appearance while preventing damage from improper cleaning or storage.
Plastic Glides (Black Plastic Foot Glides)
Care Instructions:
– Regularly inspect the plastic glides for wear, cracks, or loosening.
– Clean with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris that could scratch floors.
– Replace glides promptly if they become worn or damaged to maintain floor protection.
– Ensure glides are securely fitted to prevent wobbling or floor damage.
Why It Matters:
Foot glides protect both the chair legs and your flooring from scratches and damage. Regular checks and timely replacement keep the chair stable and your floors in good condition.
