Ritrovarsi

A visible and invisible thread binds materials, craftsmanship, ideas, values, cultures, emotions, and people.  The company’s flagship location becomes a place to rediscover and celebrate the most genuine meaning of design—a place where individuals can gather, re-connect, and discover who they are, or “Ritrovarsi”.

Re-editions – Azul | Légère | Half Moon

Paola Lenti’s project for Milano Design Week 2025 is called Ritrovarsi.

Through a thoughtfully crafted chromatic path, the company invites visitors to reconnect with time and space while offering them opportunities for discoveries and experiences.  The indoor and outdoor collections result from a seamless, multi-layered project where the interplay between nature and architecture enables ideas to flow in unison with the aesthetics of the surroundings, inspiring awe and balance.

Indoor — Àlfa, the timeless home
Àlfa, Paola Lenti’s showroom, displays her idea of life in Milano during Design Week 2025. Skylights in the classic architectural space, which was constructed with both natural and creative methods, follow the cycle of the day. Rugs, books, photographs, artwork, and furniture all change the room and give it a unique feel. New collections, Re-editions, and proposals from up-and-coming artists that represent a unique and genuine vision of modern living are available for visitors to view.

The Légère sofa by Angelo Mangiarotti and Chiara Pampo, the Half Moon side table by Greta Magnusson Grossman, a bench by Atelier Oï, an armchair by Estúdio Campana, a limited edition cabinet by AMDL CIRCLE, and a screen by Nendo are just a few of the items on display at Àlfa. These products update the pertinent collections by Francesco Rota and interact with works by Robi Renzi, Franco Poli, Berttrand Lejoly, Monica Förster, and Luca Erba.

The new rug collections by Paola Lenti are intended to evoke a feeling of comfort and worn-in items in various living areas. The rugs’ quilting, basting stitches, playful textural effects, and uneven borders create dynamic patterns and ornamental motifs. These modern rugs express the company’s experimentation and proficiency in creatively reinterpreting materials and colors in a straightforward yet elegant manner. A dense geometric sequence rich in texture and color is created by the small rectangular marble elements that make up the floor shared by the living, dining, and family areas. The light wood floor in the bedroom complements the main material of the furniture.

According to Paola Lenti’s philosophy of life, raffia, silk organza, and natural fibers are used in the embroidery and craftsmanship of walls and wardrobes to create poetic beauty on their vertical surfaces. This encourages a sustainable way of living that honors the environment and its inhabitants while demonstrating the importance of handcrafted art and the bond between people and knowledge.

Outdoor — The Gardens
The Paola Lenti Milano Gardens are designed to promote well-being and a feeling of connection to nature by being both cozy and eco-friendly. The gardens offer a unique, dynamic presence in urban settings while preserving the essence of multiple ecosystems. The design uses furniture, accessories, and architectural features—including pieces for kids—to subtly communicate with their surroundings. The interaction of graphic motifs, nostalgic details, iridescent accents, and matte surfaces is carefully balanced.

Alma | Amable | Erica | Mae

Neutral hues, tactile materials like concrete, soft matte finishes, and vibrant furnishings are all harmoniously incorporated into the outdoor landscape. Lina Bo Bardi’s Azul armchair, Francisco Gomez Paz’s seating system, and Alma micro-architectures are examples of recent additions to the scene. Included are also Gabriele and Oscar Buratti’s Mae collection, Victor Carrasco’s Amable, and Francesco Rota’s Plano and Dock.

Bistrò | Sciara | Ensemble | Toku

Paola Lenti’s Milano Design Week 2025 outdoor project pays tribute to nature, color, weaves, and warps, showcasing craftsmanship mastery and a design approach free from stylistic and temporal constraints through close collaborations with Italian workshops.

Dock | Salina | Plano

Textiles form Paola Lenti’s design language; new outdoor fabrics including Moss, Whim, and Ruffle, Rope T mélange, and nature-inspired patterns like Roseto, Felce, and Jabel reimagined in earthy tones center on textiles. Bold colors like Poppy and Herbier and floral themes found on the parasols of the collection change the look of the fabric.

Kid’s Collection — Designed to grow together

Ami | Caterpillar | Tour | Float On

The collection features both practical and whimsical sofas, poufs, armchairs, side tables, and accessories. Additionally, Paola Lenti’s rugs are havens for imagination, play, and leisure.
