Umberto Asnago

Umberto Asnago was born in Barlassina in 1949, he is a contemporary Italian designer. He received his education at the Cantù Art Institute and learned the art of woodworking. Curiosity and experimentation define his dynamic personality.

His design combines elegance and formal rigour. In his pieces, precious materials like solid wood, leather, steel, glass and marble, always play a central role. The ability to work with different materials and to combine them harmoniously with each other is the distinctive trait that started the solid collaboration between the designer and Porada. One of Asnago’s most recent creations for Porada is the imposing executive desk in Canaletta walnut, Flavio.
