09/04/2021 - Paola Lenti presents the new Eres outdoor furnitures made by linen, hemp, bamboo, raphia, igusa, and abaca. Environmental sustainability and ecological balance, recovery and use of renewable materials - obtained thanks to the careful control of the supply chain and to traditional cultivation and production techniques. These are the concepts behind the decision to name the collection Eres. In fact, one of the meanings of the word Eres in the Old Testament is earth, intended as the place where human life develops.
The new collection thus introduces elements designed and produced with a preference for herbaceous and shrubby plants with seasonal growth, used without chemical interventions and treated in such a way as to enhance their own intrinsic characteristics.
Paola Lenti talks about the new outdoor furniture with the video “Eres, the spirit of nature” edited by Maurizio Natta and Fabrizio Polla Mattiot.

Eres furniture stands out for the soft and exclusive colour shades. It offers inedited tactile sensations and awaken the pleasure of contact with original plant fabrics, processed and perfected in order to improve their resistance, lightness and breathability. Properties that, in their balance, enhance the functionality and aesthetics of the new seating pieces designed by Francesco Rota.
Frei – Three-seater sofa and sectional elements composed of a structure made of bamboo panels, and wide and comfortable seat and backrest cushions. Upholstery is available in both linen and hemp fabric. The series Frei also includes side tables in different heights and dimensions: the basis, equally produced in bamboo panels, carries a top either in bamboo slats, Venice or Opus, the new natural concrete decorated with glass tesserae.
Vespucci – Armchair and sofas consisting of a sassafras wood frame and a structural upholstery produced by weaving a linen twine that is simply fitted onto the structure. This exclusive structural cover, easily removable when needed, acts as the container of seat and backrest cushions, all upholstered with linen or hemp fabric.
Hiro – Armchair and chaise longue consisting in large seat and backrest cushions upholstered with linen or hemp fabric. The cushions are supported by a sassafras wood structure divided into two elements: one is the ground support for the seat cushion, the other acting as backrest, can be positioned at two heights: a more comfortable one for reading, one dedicated to relaxation.
The padding of Frei, Vespucci and Hiro are available in two versions: the can be produced with completely natural materials, or in Aerelle® blue. Selected by Paola Lenti to make the synthetic padding sustainable, this polyester fiber exclusively originates from the recycling of disposable plastic, which is collected before reaching rivers and oceans. It is certified EU Ecolabel and audited GRS, Global Recycled Standard for traceability.
Shibui e Shibusa – Lounge chairs and chaise longue composed of a turned bamboo structure supporting seats in different materials: the one of Shibui consists of bamboo sticks fastened with a jute ribbon, that of Shibusa consists of a tatami in igusa, produced by using this natural fiber for both the outer surface and the padding. The Shibui series also include a large platform, sitting on the ground or suspended, completed by pads upholstered with linen or hemp fabrics.
In addition to these new introductions and the many accessories that complete the Eres collection, Paola Lenti relaunch some of its well-known and established outdoor products updating them with these new natural materials.
