Broken Nature @ Salone Milan 2019
The theme of the 22nd Triennale di Milano is, as the title suggests, in-depth examination of the ties between humans and our natural environment, now profoundly compromised and, in some cases, completely destroyed, looking at the role design can play in reconstituting these links.
In exploring architecture and design objects and concepts at all scales and in all materials, Broken Nature celebrates design’s ability to offer powerful insight into the key issues of our age, moving beyond pious deference and inconclusive anxiety.

In Scena Rugs by Paola Lenti @ Salone Milan 2019
Rugs are used to delineate volume, positive space, or even personal territory; they enable an area to become the expression of an individual’s character and experience.
For nearly twenty years, Paola Lenti has interpreted and creatively expressed the importance of this spatial anchor in its range of rugs.
The company has never lost sight of traditional production techniques, like weaving and embroidery, and it combines them with high quality raw materials.
