Resulting from the collaboration between Paola Lenti and Kramer und Kramer, a historical partner with consolidated experience in green and landscape architecture, Paola Lenti Wien is the first flagship store opened by the Italian brand in Austria.
The Austrian flagship store finds its home within the remarkable Palais Harrach, a splendid Baroque building that underwent a redesign in the late 17th century by the esteemed Italian architect, Domenico Martinelli. Retaining the captivating charm of its era, Palais Harrach showcases impressive dome ceilings, marble staircases, and an inner courtyard enveloped by elegant arcades. Its location is strategically positioned in the heart of the city, amidst a district adorned with historic landmarks, art galleries, and fashionable boutiques.

Designed to seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor spaces, the store serves as a haven where nature intertwines with its surroundings. A unifying thread throughout the interiors and the central courtyard is the abundance of vegetation, showcased through a rich selection of plants and trees, creating a harmonious ambiance that exudes a sense of home in sync with the natural world.
