This new collection of outdoor seating furniture is a tribute to Clara Porset, the Cuban-born architect who was a close collaborator of Luis Barragán. It is the outcome of an in-depth work of recovery carried out with the collaboration of the Archivo Clara Porset at CIDI Centro de Investigaciones de Diseño Industrial of Universidad Autónoma de México (UNAM). The collection draws inspiration from a project conceived in 1957 for the Hotel Pierre Marqués in Acapulco and later on exhibited at the 11th Triennale di Milano where it was awarded a silver medal. Paola Lenti has interpreted, through a contemporary annotation, some of these pieces designed by Porcet in that occasion, updating the materials without betraying their original spirit. The result is a collection of lounge chairs and sun beds with the flavor of the garden furniture of the past and yet with the technical characteristics resulting from the most advanced research of today.
