Chiaroscuro is Porada’s first board game, distinguished by its adaptability: the pieces allow for traditional gameplay on one hand, and, on the other, for the creation of endless aesthetic patterns through the alternation of tones and geometries. The materials were chosen to reflect Porada’s signature elements, primarily natural and wengé-stained ash for the pieces, along with Grigio Carnico marble and anodised aluminium with Champagne finish for the frame.

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.”
