Paola Lenti srl | People | Collection of Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum

Paola Lenti srl was founded in 1994 and is a family-owned textile and furniture company. Primarily a manufacturer of rugs and upholstered furniture, the textiles are developed exclusively by Paola Lenti for the company. Her interest in both interior and exterior environments has led to experimentation with a variety of high performance and natural yarns, always with the purpose of achieving both functionality and beauty.

We have one object that Paola Lenti srl has been involved with.

Thin ropes in red, purple, yellow, orange, and green are knit into a tight pattern to create a large sling. The unwoven ropes at each end of the sling are gathered into cylinder covered in a yellow knit. A metal ring is attached to the cylinder with a thick rope looped through it. The rope is knotted and extends out of the image suspending the sling in the air. The knit sling dips down into a U shape. A square knit blanket is set in the center of the hammock with a corner hanging off the front edge. The blanket is made with a chunky basket weave interlaced to create a crisscross pattern in yellow, red, and purple. The backdrop for the hammock is a neutral gray. A faint shadow is created on the floor by the hammock.
