The first yachting collection designed by Espen Øino for Italian manufacturer Paola Lenti debuted last month at the Monaco Yacht Show.
The Capri folding chair and deck chair, Sabrina small armchair and Elianto platform were born from a shared design philosophy inspired by the principles of a timeless design. In today’s complex world, the collection seeks synthesis and it embraces the idea that true elegance is found in essentiality.
“We have meticulously crafted each piece, paying great attention to every detail,” says Norwegian designer Espen Øino. “Each line, material choice and finish has been designed to harmonize form and function, ensuring an exceptional outdoor experience.”
The project is equally dedicated to reducing environmental impact through the use of recyclable and recycled materials. The padding, made of polyester fiber Aerelle blue, is a testament to this common commitment, created from plastics recovered
along riverbeds and at sea.
What truly sets this collection apart is its exceptional functionality tailored for life at sea. Espen Øino’s rigorous approach to functional design, honed through extensive experience in designing mega-yachts that blend luxury with practicality,
is complemented by Paola Lenti’s expertise in materials research. The Capri chair and deck chair, being foldable and easily storable, create free space in compact environments. Sabrina, with its generous proportions, fosters convivial moments
around the table during extended dinners or meetings aboard. Lastly, Elianto, thanks to its circular design, allows occupants to follow the sun without shifting the seat.
