For its new Jardin collection, Paola Lenti has reimagined a beach chair designed in 1957 by Clara Porset for the Hotel Marqués in Acapulco, Mexico. Cuban-born architect and designer Porset moved to Mexico in the 1930s and collaborated closely with Luis Barragán. She became a seminal figure in that country’s modernist movement through her teaching and her designs. Lenti has infused the original design with her signature sense of color, making it feel contemporary and new, despite its 65-year pedigree. Pricing not yet available, paolalenti.it
