Paola Lenti Ami chair



This casual furniture from Paola Lenti is perfect for either inside or perhaps in a conservatory. The Ami and Wabi furniture lines put the focus firmly on the fabulous weave – an oversized and playful stitch. Paola Lenti, an Italian company, paves the way for exploration of textiles. The neat and uncomplicated shapes of the furniture collections are an ideal backdrop for the fascinating materials and textile weaving techniques that the company loves to experiment with. Managing to look at once modern, and also classic, is a feat worthy of admiration… and one that the attractive Ami and Wabi seats and sofas achieve effortlessly. Whether balanced on smart metal legs or suspended as a swing from the ceiling, these sofas will show off your sense of style for many years to come. From Paola Lenti.
