ELEMENTI

• Designer

During the International Design Week (17-22 April 2018), Paola Lenti will again be present, in the fascinating industrial location in via Orobia 15, with its new collections for the indoors and the outdoors.

In Plato, the word Elements, from the Greek term stoicheîa, signifies the letters of the alphabet, that is to say the prime elements of each word. The term in the singular is stoichêion, in the sense of principle, beginning and minimal components.

It is indeed from such an elementary principle, an imperceptible source to the most distinct sparkle that the creative path of Paola Lenti starts: a passage, which offers to the elements a primitive vibration, a vital impulse that recompose minimum fragments to transform them in inimitable objects, completed forms, weaves and colour.

This creative sparkle, carrying in itself the desire to reach perfection, is the driving force, which is able to enhance the elements with new colour hues and unprecedented significance, to conceive unusual relations between high tech materials and skilled handicraft, to create weaves that open to a new sensorial universe radiating bright, luminous colours.

The creative energy of Paola Lenti gives life to prime elements, letters of an imaginary alphabet, where words become real objects, original furnishing pieces, unique weaves, which enhance living spaces with rhythm, style, and balance.

The ongoing search for beauty through its many expressions is revealed above all by the careful choice of materials that Paola Lenti proposes in new shades and unusual combinations, thanks to an intense dialogue with the world of technological research, an exchange of experiences, which are not only aesthetic, but also respectful of the environment and the nature.

The close and prolific relationship between the technology of materials and the most refined artisanship is one of the constants of the Paola Lenti collections. A process that is both a challenge and a tension towards perfection: features that have been instrumental in establishing the company as a reference point in the multiform universe of contemporary furniture.
