Milano Design Week, Paola Lenti

Arnò Textile signature. Essential design. Sustainable soul.

Paola Lenti’s vision of living translates into a concept of the home as authentic, refined, contemporary, and cultured. A place that reflects the personality and style of those who inhabit it. A space where furnishings with a strong identity—discreet yet free from stylistic and temporal classifications—tell stories of diverse aesthetic and cultural languages. The 2025 indoor collection is the result of collaborations with young talents, established designers, and great masters, alongside the re-edition of iconic products the company has chosen to bring back. Each creation, blending artisanal tradition and industrial culture, helps to define distinctive living scenarios, as has long been the case in the outdoor realm.

At Milano Design Week, among the new seating systems, Paola Lenti unveiled Arnò: a modular sofa designed by Bertrand Lejoly that embodies elegance, comfort, and versatility, never overpowering its surroundings but always in harmony with them. Its essential design is conceived to inhabit interiors with discretion—even when placed at the centre of the room. Its defining feature is the textile frame cover: a refined knitted fabric that envelops the structure supporting the back cushions. This detail becomes Arnò’s signature— an emblem of Paola Lenti’s identity. The cover is crafted from an exclusive fabric developed in the company’s knit workshops, long devoted to research and experimentation in yarns and textile structures. Fully removable, it comes in a coordinated palette that echoes the sofa’s range of tones.

Arnò is also offered in a more traditional version, without the knitted panels. Both versions are made from sustainable materials and designed for easy disassembly, facilitating responsible end-of-life recycling. In every detail, Arnò reflects the company’s values: exclusive textile innovation, design conceived to endure, and a vision consistently oriented toward sustainability.

Founded in 1994, Paola Lenti is renowned worldwide for the innovative twist it has given to design products and for its unmistakable interpretation of colour. In thirty years of activity, the company has created a collection of exclusive fabrics and technical materials, eco-friendly and available in hundreds of hues. Paola Lenti indoor and outdoor collections and complements for the architecture are displayed in the most important international showrooms.
