"""The collaboration between Paola Lenti and Brazilian designers Fernando and Humberto Campana has led to the introduction of a special edition of unique pieces, in balance between art and design. Five seating pieces and a tapestry have given shape to Paola Lenti body of thought, proposing a more conscious use of raw materials and a renewed dialogue between innovation, craftwork and social responsibility. Metamorfosi, therefore, is not only a design project; it is above all the expression of a responsible behavior. It is a choice that for the company also entailed significant changes in the production process and involved also the CouLture Migrante social tailoring atelier in Como, with the aim of providing an opportunity for work integration for women at risk of social exclusion. For a company like Paola Lenti, that produces its own fabrics by itself, the production of scraps is inevitable. What has always been considered a problem is transformed today into an asset with an extraordinary potential. “Going around our factory I cannot avoid recovering some fabric remnants that are thrown into the scraps bin – says Paola Lenti– not only because I believe that reuse is a value, but also because I think that the combination of different colours and shapes has in itself an unpredictable beauty. If the scraps stimulate the imagination, why then consider them materials to be thrown away?”ginal spirit."""
