Porto Chair No4 is among the most uncompromising pieces in the Porto Chair series from Project 213A. Its backrest rises to an exceptional height and angles backward, creating a silhouette that leans away from the viewer in a way that is confident and counterintuitive in equal measure. The seat and base are treated as a single solid block, broad, square, and heavy in visual weight, which anchors the sweeping vertical of the backrest above. There are no cutouts or openings; the form is entirely constituted by mass.
Hand carved in solid walnut by skilled artisans in Northern Portugal, the chair's dark wood deepens the sense of weight and presence. The natural grain of the walnut, revealed through the carving and finishing process, introduces tonal variation that prevents the form from reading as monolithic. Proportions are substantial throughout.
Porto Chair No4 belongs to the Project 213A Collection, the first furniture range by Project 213A, the design house founded in 2021 by Jurgita Dileviciute, Theresa Marx, and Clement Deboeuf. The Porto Chair series, all eight models hand carved in walnut, each with a distinct backrest and base, is a flagship body of work within the collection.

About
Project 213A
Project 213A is a Portuguese design house founded in 2021 by Jurgita Dileviciute, Theresa Marx, and Clement Deboeuf. The name comes from a London address where each founder lived at separate points during their studies, a shared geography that preceded their professional collaboration.
The idea for the studio took shape during the 2020 lockdown, when the three founders combined their professional backgrounds to build something together. Project 213A has operated from in-house ceramic and wood workshops in Northern Portugal since its launch, working alongside skilled local artisans whose traditional craftsmanship shapes every piece in the catalog.
The studio's design philosophy is built around durability over trend. Each object is made to last decades, not to fit a particular season's aesthetic. Collections carry the names of Portuguese cities and regions, a practice that grounds the work in the territory and the communities whose making traditions the brand draws from.
The range spans handcrafted ceramics and handmade wooden furniture, both produced locally with artisan techniques developed over generations in Northern Portugal. This focus on Portuguese craftsmanship and material integrity distinguishes Project 213A within the contemporary European design studio landscape.
Pieces by Project 213A are available on Monde Singulier as part of the collectible design catalog.
