Paola Lenti: weaving spaces
$70.00
(available in store)

“This book describes the interweaving of colours that mix with the principles of perspective, of form that interacts with the eye, of light that blends with the shades of materials. But above all it describes a design, a project made of the stuff of dreams, in which skilled hands have given geometric precision, shape, proportion, concrete essence to the visible.”
