Paola Lenti, the world-renowned Italian furniture brand that can be found aboard many a superyacht, has unveiled a new collection designed by award-winning superyacht designer, Espen Øino. Conceived for life at sea, on shore, and in every instance supremely stylish, we sized up the new pieces.
The collaboration between the Norwegian designer yacht designer and the Italian brand has resulted in a collection that can be distinguished by its minimalist designs and practicality for a life at the sea.
The series includes the Capri folding chair and deck chair set, the Sabrina armchair, and the Elianto modular system. Each is born from a philosophy inspired the principles of timeless design and strives to achieve synthesis with today’s complex and fast-paced world.
Speaking of the design process behind the collection, Espen Øino commented: “We have meticulously crafted each piece, paying great attention to every detail. Each line, material choice, and finish has been designed to harmonize form and function ensuring an exceptional outdoor experience.”
The specially designed series is equally dedicated to reducing environmental impact through the use of recyclable and recycled materials. The padding, made of polyester fibre Aerelle® blue, which is created from plastics recovered along riverbeds and at sea, is a testament to this commitment.
The collection is exceptionally functional and embraces the idea that true elegance is found in essentiality.
Øino’s extensive experience in designing superyachts that blend luxury with practicality, is complemented by Paola Lenti’s expertise in materials research. The Capri chair and deck chair, being folding and easily storable, create free space in compact environments. The Sabrina chair, with its generous proportions, is as at home around the dining table as it is a coffee table or desk and lastly, thanks to Elianto’s circular design, occupants can follow the sun without shifting seats.
As a company, Paola Lenti has enjoyed unwavering success over the last two decades – achieving a consistency rarely seen in the exclusive world of yachting. Driven by the quality of its offerings, the exceptional performance of materials and fabrics in challenging weather conditions, and the extensive customization opportunities it offers to designers and yacht owners, the brand remains a first choice. “I find the nautical sector fascinating because it’s inherently challenging,” says Paola Lenti. “It is a market that propels us to explore materials and find innovative solutions that enhance the performance of products designed for residential use as well.”
The Øino-designed range was unveiled at Monaco Yacht Show – a fitting location with Paola Lenti having been the preferred furniture partner for the Show’s Upper Deck Lounge for over a decade.
