The Astra collection of modern suspension lamps comes from the reinterpretation of the classic chandelier. Astra combines the graphism of the line with the sensuality of organic design. It is a true contemporary classic lamp, thanks to the combination of the organic crossbar in Canaletta walnut with the matt black silicone rubber cables. The hanging diffusers, in shiny white opal glass, illuminate the space as if they were small stars.
Astra’s inspiring principles are gravity and balance which matches the lightweight of lights with the solidity of solid wood. It is possible to combine two, four or six components on several levels with two or three crosspieces.

David Dolcini
David was born near Milan. His vision and approach to design comes from a combination of different educational and professional experiences abroad over the years.
After finishing his studies at Politecnico di Milano, he founded in 2007 his own brand DAVID DOLCINI STUDIO, which deals mainly with product and industrial design, interior design, exhibition design and art direction. Some of his works have been selected for international exhibitions and exhibited at Palazzo Arte della Triennale di Milano. In 2012 he opened a new base of operations in Valencia, Spain. His fruitful collaboration with Porada began in 2013 and since then he has designed some of the company’s iconic products, including Aria and Argo. The key points that characterize David’s methodological approach are: accurate and sartorial work, innovation, Italian identity and international openness.
“As to me, design is a magical balance. A process of synthesis able to condense the complexities of a project into an essential and organic product, but still full of meaning.”
