Paola Lenti 2025: HALF MOON

With the reissue of the ‘Half Moon’ cocktail table, Paola Lenti provides a worthy stage for a design by Greta Magnusson Grossman in the present day.

A walnut cocktail table in a crescent shape that conveys lightness and impresses with its refined details: Swedish industrial designer, interior designer and architect Greta Magnusson Grossman conceived this piece, which fascinated Paola Lenti so much that she decided to reissue it. ‘I felt connected to the formal language of the Half Moon table – its flowing, organic shapes and its ability to appear contemporary while also harking back to the 1950s,’ she says.

Every detail of the table has been finely crafted, from the bevelled edges of the tabletop to the tapered, interlocking joints of the legs. The asymmetrical lines, balanced proportions and technically sophisticated construction make the table a real eye-catcher in any room. At the same time, the reissue of the table demonstrates Paola Lenti's sense for design that remains current for decades and how harmoniously the visually soft tones of the indoor furniture complement the colourful spectacle of the outdoor collections.
