The Modern Garden Company offers a selection of beautiful and contemporary exterior furniture for Hotels and Spas worldwide, creating luxurious, timeless and perfectly finished spaces.As part of Sleep 2014, The Modern Garden Company were excited to showcase Paola Lenti’s Smile collection. With a relaxing sofa, armchair and ottoman pouf with a lid for storage, Smile is crafted using sophisticated and inventive techniques to create a piece of furniture which is both highly durable and exceptionally comfortable.

Paola Lenti’s cutting edge, innovative use of Aero fabric creates an inviting aesthetic with soft curves. Fabric is stretched over Smile’s structure seamlessly, creating the feeling of a soft, tactile knit. Neatly tucked away inside are multiple layers of three-dimensional, stress resistant foam padding along with a layer of water repellent polyester to ensure a product which is truly built to withstand the elements, without sacrificing style or comfort.

Paolo Lenti – The Key of Colour
Devised by Paola Lenti in 2012, ‘In the Key of Colour’ is a chromatic revolution in exterior fabrics, offering a choice of more than 500 soft and clear shades together with bright and vibrant hues.

The solid colours of the exclusive Rope technical yarn are resistant to light and atmospheric agents. Used in the production of upholstery fabrics, cords and rugs, ‘In the Key of Colour’ presents a completely unique design solution placing Paola Lenti Collections firmly at the fore -front of exterior furniture, undeterred by time or fashion.
