Originally designed in 1980 by Franco Poli for Bernini — a company that, during the 1980s, represented a benchmark of excellence in Italian woodworking and design — the Berni armchair is now re-edited by Paola Lenti. This new edition restores the piece to contemporary relevance, while preserving the essence and original concept behind its creation.
Berni brings together ergonomic precision and refined construction details. In this updated textile version, the original metal joints give way to wooden connections, masterfully designed by Poli. The proportions, carefully studied, provide support and surprising comfort; the forms, pure and balanced, express a discreet, understated elegance.
Through Berni, Paola Lenti continues her design narrative — one defined by material quality and the pursuit of formal simplicity that has always been central to her style.
