Pedrali Vision of the Workspace on Show in London

Pedrali, the Italian manufacturer leader in the production of contemporary design furniture for workspaces, hospitality and residential, returned to London for Workspace Design Show – the UK’s leading event dedicated to the workspaces of the future. On 25 and 26 February, the 100% Italian brand, took part for the 4th time, presented its latest collections at stand B40 at the Business Design Centre in London. The fair represents one of the most significant appointments in the London design calendar, bringing together the country’s top A&D community, co-working operators, real-estate professionals and investors to explore innovations in workspace design – not only through exhibitors’ installations, but also through an engaging programme of talks, meetings and immersive experiences. This year’s theme “Connected Realities” explored how hybrid models, immersive technologies and smart environments are reshaping the workplace, not just as spaces we use, but as environments we experience, engage with and feel part of.

Embracing the latest trends, Pedrali presented its vision of the workspace: an agile, interconnected and welcoming environment capable of reflecting contemporary lifestyles and evolving professional needs.

Flexibility is a key driver, influencing both the physical configuration of spaces through new layouts and experiences and new ways of working. Today, the office is conceived as a dynamic environment where people interact to enhance efficiency and focus on their goals while strengthening corporate culture. The intelligent integration of technology fosters interaction, creating responsive and interconnected environments. Nature becomes an integral part of everyday working life through the use of sustainable materials, daylight and abundant greenery, transforming interiors into inspiring and restorative settings. Outdoor spaces are increasingly central, offering areas in which to relax or work informally.

The contemporary workspace is no longer simply a place of work, but a cultural hub that encourages collaboration, creativity and learning. Designed to accommodate diverse specialisations and promote interconnection, these spaces keep people at the centre, offering opportunities to personalise, create and interact with a broader ecosystem. Conviviality therefore becomes a fundamental value: spaces are designed to encourage spontaneous interactions, moments of exchange and authentic relationships.

The workspace becomes a welcoming environment that supports people throughout the day, fostering longevity and generating a sense of belonging a place people wish to inhabit and return to, enhancing both physical and emotional comfort and promoting a healthy, regenerative working routine.

Pedrali products help to create inviting atmospheres thanks to the use of colour and the endless customisation options. Furthermore, ergonomics plays a key role: furniture must be adjustable and equipped with state-of-the-art mechanisms to adapt to the user, ensuring comfort and giving individuals control over their workspace. This not only enhances emotional well-being but also fosters creativity and teamwork. Together, these elements create environments that evolve over time alongside the people who use them.

Pedrali welcomed its visitors in an open space, defined by natural, earthy tones, a neutral palette that enhances the products. At the centre of the stand, a contemporary workspace is created around Rizz Workstation designed by Robin Rizzini a versatile and functional solution, adapting to different needs thanks to the system of two-, four- or eight-seater workstations. A structural strength concealed by clean lines distinguishes this table, which integrates the legs with an aluminium supporting frame hidden beneath the tabletop to ensure aesthetic lightness and maximum stability. To support large tabletops, a central rectangular steel column with rounded edges also serves as cable management. The die-cast aluminium legs are characterised by a triangular section that faces outwards and tapers into a round shape, resting elegantly on the floor. The sinuous curve shaping the leg is directed towards the centre of the table, to optimise seating capacity. A cable management system integrated into the tabletop is designed to accommodate sound-absorbing screens, making Rizz Workstation the perfect solution for modern and efficient workspaces. The table can also be complemented with an optional LED lighting system, whose central bridge structure recalls classic library tables. The upper section can be used to hold plants or small objects.

Encircling Rizz Workstation are Laja 2 armchairs by Alessandro Busana, distinguished by their soft, cosy forms and characterised by a blend of stylistic simplicity and organic lines. The collection includes a side chair and an armchair featuring an injected polyurethane foam seat with elastic belts and a flexible, welcoming backrest. A distinctive feature of the collection is its four die-cast aluminium legs, obtained from a single mould. The legs of Laja 2 are also available in solid ash wood, steel rod or cantilever steel tube frame. Here, they are presented with a die-cast aluminium five-spoke base with castors.

The multi-functional Blume Sideboard by Sebastian Herkner completes the scene and echoes the sophisticated flower-shaped profile in extruded aluminium of the homonymous collection. Blume Sideboard combines storage capacity with the ability to define or divide spaces with elegance and versatility. It features four curved plywood ash wood or walnut veneered doors combined with extruded aluminium legs in a variety of anodised or power coated finishes, in addition to a composite marble or high pressure laminate surfaces.

Outdoor areas are increasingly becoming an integral part of the workspace, offering places where people can work or unwind in the open air. The selected collections ensure comfort and are highly resistant to weather conditions, making them ideal for versatile and long-lasting use. Chairs, armchairs and lounge armchairs from Coney outdoor collection by Mandelli Pagliarulo are showcased on the stand, combining functionality, comfort and a highly graphical visual impact. The signature features of the collection are its clean lines and visual lightness: mono-material seating characterised by a curved tubular steel frame. The seat and backrest create a three-dimensional support, ensuring structural solidity and ergonomics. The vertical slats of the backrest, moulded and shaped from metal sheet, create a distinctive pattern together with the horizontal ones of the seat. Coney is ideal for both breakout areas in urban settings and terraces in modern workspaces.

With their elegant silhouette and minimal design, Elliot tables by Patrick Jouin complete the scene, combining soft lines with sinuous, natural forms. The setting also includes Caementum monoblock coffee tables by Marco Merendi & Diego Vencato, made of concrete with the addition of carefully selected additives to guarantee excellent technical performance. In this setting, they are presented in a glossy olive green finish, but are also available in yellow, brown, bright green, beige and blue, as well as in matte terracotta or grey concrete options.

Filicudi table lamps, designed by Andrea Pedrali, complete the setting, helping to create a relaxed atmosphere. Filicudi is a practical and functional rechargeable table lamp that can transform into a decorative object suited to different contexts of use. Made of an extruded aluminium column and a polycarbonate diffuser, Filicudi has compact proportions and minimalistic style. The column features subtle grooves that add depth and visual appeal. Filicudi is provided with a multi-charging system: the diffusers can be stacked using magnets to charge up to ten pieces at the same time, without the use of external cables. The LED light source can be dimmed to three brightness levels via a touch sensor control. The lamp easily separates into two parts; when the diffuser is charging, the column transforms into a watertight flower vase, enhancing its versatility.

The modular Jeff sofa, designed by Patrick Norguet, recreates a comfortable indoor environment for informal moments of sharing with colleagues. Jeff is a set of miniature architectures in polyurethane foam, skilfully combined to create a modular and reconfigurable sofa. The main feature of Jeff is its harmony of volumes: the squared backrest pairs with a delicate seat to soften and give balance to the whole structure. New, more compact modules for contemporary requirements were launched during 2025, still offering comfort and functionality: a linear module, a footstool and 90° corner unit. Distinguished by an oblique backrest, the corner unit harmoniously optimises the space. Twiny rug, designed by DWA Design Studio, adds a contemporary touch. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, the collection includes two different patterns, both in twill and defined by a discreet graphic sign, one striped and one diagonal. The rug background in neutral shades of sand is divided into two tone-on-tone sections, one lighter and one darker. The rugs are made from cord obtained by weaving a polypropylene yarn, which is strong yet soft and completely recyclable, ensuring a very high level of performance when placed outdoors, guaranteeing resistance to sunlight and weather, easy cleaning and maintenance.

The layout also features Caementum coffee tables by Marco Merendi & Diego Vencato in glossy beige finish, and Filicudi table lamps by Andrea Pedrali.

Even lounge and waiting areas are turning into spaces designed with care to ensure comfort and a warm welcome, contributing to people’s well-being. A comfortable lounge area is defined by Ester lounge armchairs, designed by Patrick Jouin, presented alongside with Stiel lounge armchairs and Blume tables, both designed by Sebastian Herkner. Ester Lounge is made of injected polyurethane foam with elastic belts. Proportions have been conceived to gracefully accommodate a wider, cosy seat, on which rests a comfortable cushion, and a backrest with a curved, enveloping design, while retaining the collection’s distinctive identity.

Stiel is a collection inspired by elegance and sophistication. A seating collection characterised by soft, rounded shapes in polyurethane foam on a curved round steel tube frame. Completing the scene, Blume tables, also by Sebastian Herkner, echo the fine lines of the collection, whose distinctive force emerges from the column in extruded aluminium with a sophisticated flower-shaped profile.

The stand also featured Nemea, designed by Cazzaniga Mandelli Pagliarulo and presented in an American walnut version, which thanks to its sophisticated grain and enveloping character, enriches the collection adding warmth and elegance. Nemea is a seating collection with solid wood legs and a plywood backrest, recalling the idea of classic gracefulness shaped by time and history. Its sinuous legs fit into the die-cast aluminium frame placed under the seat. Stiel side chair and armchair by Sebastian Herkner are also showcased, featuring a seat and backrest connected to the frame without visible fixing screws. Stiel collection is conceived for convivial settings, placing comfort and wellbeing at its centre. Chairs and armchairs are arranged around Blume tables by Sebastian Herkner, featuring the flower-shaped column and here proposed with a Palazzo white marble top.

The setting was completed by Twiny rug by DWA Design Studio in terracotta tones, while Filicudi lamps by Andrea Pedrali illuminated the entire set.
