Not only in its specific realm \u2013 yarns, fabrics, colours \u2013 in which it has established itself as an avant-garde company, but also in the field of other materials, provided they have a story to tell. It is these stories that Paola Lenti seeks out, along with the skills, the passion, the beauty they bring with them and the manual dexterity handed down from one generation to the next. As it is in her DNA.<\/p>\n
From these stories, exclusive collaborations with artists-artisans selected throughout the country arose, in line with a philosophy that has chosen to favor the excellence of Made in Italy. Over the years, the collections have been enhanced with new families of products designed to dialogue with the company\u2019s furnishings and colours, in tune with a harmonious and yet heterogeneous living concept. Different materials \u2013 ceramics, lava, metal and glass \u2013 have brought to life products, which are exclusive because they are made with ancient techniques and crafted, painted and finished by hand. Unique pieces that have contributed to making Paola Lenti brand unmistakable all over the world.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”100px”][singolo_video_background videomp4url=”https:\/\/www.paolalenti.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/TAVOLO_VER-004.mov” classecss=”content-row-width”][vc_empty_space height=”100px”][vc_custom_heading text=”A tu per tu con is a format born from the desire to see up close the creations of these artists-artisans and share their originality with our audience.

She is Sicilian and heir to a tailor\u2019s shop that has been a point of reference for Catania high society since the 1960s: grand evening gowns, elaborately embroidered wedding dresses; suggestions that recall the atmospheres of the well-known Italian novel Il Gattopardo together with nonconformist proposals, such as the synthetic fur collars that anticipate the 1968 eagerness to sweep away bourgeois conventions.<\/p>\n
Marella was in search of her own personal path. In the nineties she makes her debut in Rome in the haute couture with the idea of narrating Sicily through traditional materials such as lava stone and ceramics. She reinterprets, experiments, deconstructs: a stylistic approach that will later allow her to tune in with the vision of Paola Lenti.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”100px”][vc_single_image image=”135609″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” el_class=”full-width-img”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1779436053960{margin-top: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 100px !important;}” el_class=”image-caption”]<\/p>\n

Paola Lenti asks her to use lava to dress living spaces. Together, they try to melt fragments of glass directly on the stone, with effects that evoke the colours of the sea, the shades of green of the gardens, the lava flows of Etna. Sciara is brought to life, a luminous and very resistant material that today covers the surfaces of tables, side tables and partition walls in the company\u2019s collections. The study of local ceramic floorings has instead given rise to a collection of embroidered rugs that reveal the signs of the dominations of the island. The yarns are Paola Lenti\u2019s technical ones, the workforce is a family heritage. They are Marella\u2019s aunts, the same ones who once embroidered trousseaus and corsets in her mother\u2019s tailor shop.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”100px”][singolo_video_background videomp4url=”https:\/\/www.paolalenti.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/06-Febbraio_23.mov” classecss=”content-row-width”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1779435951546{margin-top: 10px !important;}” el_class=”image-caption”]<\/p>\n
