Discover how textile research, a no-waste philosophy and intuitive advice can create living environments
that have character – and inspire you anew every day.
Living with feeling: rooms that tell stories
Home is more than just square metres, floor plan and furnishings. It is the place where textures, colours and light
colours and light merge with your memories. Where a single piece of furniture – chosen correctly – can become the
anchor point of an entire room: a favourite place where you arrive, come to rest and find yourself.
and find yourself again.
This is exactly where Paola Lenti comes in: with collections that are not just “outdoor furniture”
or “armchairs”, but finely composed textile landscapes. The new
Miriade armchair, designed in collaboration with Estúdio Campana, is one such
such a statement piece – a piece of seating furniture that looks like an organic sculpture and yet is
yet surprisingly comfortable.

Paola Lenti & Miriade: Textile design with attitude
For years, Paola Lenti has stood for her very own signature style in interior and outdoor design:
bright but nuanced colours, experimental textiles and furniture that look like landscapes. The
collaboration with Estúdio Campana takes this philosophy to a new level – playful,
radical and at the same time deeply poetic.
Miriade: An armchair like a living relief
The Miriade armchair is the result of an intensive dialogue between textile know-how and
sculptural thinking. A voluminous, upholstered cushion rests on a filigree frame made of matt lacquered AISI 316 stainless steel.

recombined and transformed into unique design objects. The “no-waste” philosophy thus becomes the
aesthetic and conceptual core of the design.
As each armchair is created from an individual mix of these textile remnants, only the main colour direction can be defined when ordering.
