Pedrali, Italian manufacturer of contemporary design furniture for contract and residential environments, took part in the 64th Salone del Mobile.Milano from 21 to 26 April, the leading international event for the design industry.
At its 37th participation, Pedrali unveiled nine indoor and outdoor collections, the result of in-depth research and close collaboration with renowned Italian and international designers. A family business story that began 63 years ago has led Pedrali to develop a 100% Made in Italy philosophy, embodied in the control of the entire production chain across its Headquarters in Mornico al Serio (Bergamo) and its production unit in Manzano (Udine).
#PedraliGentleHabitat (Hall 24, Stand C27, C35), designed by the Milan-based DWA Design Studio, arises from the interplay between colour, material and light, taking shape as a pure and recognisable architecture that openly reveals its constructive nature. The result is an essential yet welcoming space that guides visitors through an emotional and multi-sensory experience.
The 900 sqm stand unfolds as a volume with a strong architectural identity, defined by visible structural elements and a clear design language. A grid of exposed beams and pillars shapes the space, while a sloped ceiling that introduces a sense of dynamism to the overall composition.
The outer shell becomes a large neutral surface a painter's blank canvas on which the entire project unfolds - creating a harmonious atmosphere. A uniform colour, applied across different materials, generates an apparent visual continuity that, upon closer inspection, reveals a layered material identity shaped through textural variations.
The poplar wood structure, chosen for its visual lightness and pale tone, is combined with textile surfaces that respond to variations in light, contributing to a dynamic and nuanced experience of the space. This dialogue between natural materials and daylight generates a delicate, vibrant texture that gives depth to the environment, transforming it into an immersive setting that envelops visitors in an immersive sensory experience.
On this balanced and essential backdrop, the project comes to life through touches of colour: the settings featuring Pedrali novelties emerge as intentional and controlled presences, capable of defining atmospheres, functions and identities.
The undulating canvas - clad walls introduce a variation in material and form, enhancing spatial perception by adding depth, volume and refined plays of light and shadow, becoming an architectural focal point around which the stand is organised.
The space unfolds as a fluid and dynamic layout, where architectural elements define different areas without ever interrupting the perceptual continuity of the environment. The interplay between indoor and outdoor spaces creates a gentle rhythm, generating a sense of hospitality and overall well-being.
Semi-transparent canvas panels distributed along the stand appear to filter day light, creating a soft transition that reinforces spatial continuity. This approach perfectly lines up with Pedrali vision, which has always been a promoter of design that blend aesthetics, functionality and well-being through families of products designed to seamlessly furnish both indoor and outdoor spaces, creating fluid and continuous harmony. In 1963, open spaces inspired Mario Pedrali to produce his first wrought iron collections for outdoor use. With a view to pursuing and guaranteeing the mixture of environments, Pedrali outdoor collections have the ultimate goal of bringing the same quality and care to the outdoor as indoor environments.
Nature is integrated into the stand through a dual narrative that reinforces its relationship between people and architecture: on one hand, real nature is represented by tall trees that become architectural elements. These vertical elements articulate the space and establish a dialogue between nature and architecture, between memory and innovation. On the other hand, a reinterpreted nature emerges through artistic photography integrated within the different settings, acting as visual openings onto natural landscapes.
The images, by Milan-based photographer Alecio Ferrari, alternate wide panoramas with close-up details in which textures and colours emerge vividly, taking on an almost painterly quality, like abstract compositions that conceptually extend the perimeter of the stand and amplify the perception of space.
Balancing structure and colour, neutrality and emphasis, the #PedraliGentleHabitat stand is conceived as a carefully designed ecosystem — a space where materials, light and hues interact in a calibrated way, offering an experience that celebrates design as an act of composition.
Within this setting, people’s well-being is central: the quality of light, the permeability of space, the presence of greenery and the use of natural materials create a sense of harmony and comfort, fostering a more conscious relationship with the surrounding environment. The relationship between architecture, nature and living quality becomes fundamental, together with the selection of materials and products designed to last over time, supporting everyday life with enduring quality.
In order to pursue the sustainable philosophy that has always guided the company, attention was paid to the selected materials, the optimisation of raw material consumption, resource rationalisation, material reuse/recycling, and disassemblability in the design phase of the stand. Furthermore, all elements used within the stand were designed to be disassembled and reused, thereby maximising the durability and sustainability.
This year, Pedrali inaugurates two new collaborations : with the design duo Formafantasma and with AMDL CIRCLE, the multidisciplinary studio founded by architect Michele De Lucchi.
The work of Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin – founders of Formafantasma – is rooted in a design approach that goes beyond the object itself to express a way of thinking, building and inhabiting space. The design partnership between Pedrali and the studio has led to the development of Estratto, a collection of mono-material coffee tables and consoles in aluminium. The designers’ interest in materials with a genuine potential for circularity, combined with Pedrali manufacturing expertise, has given rise to a family defined by a strong material identity, exploring the technical and narrative potential of aluminium extrusion as a continuous and potentially infinite process.
Aluminium extrusion is a core competence rooted in the history of the industrial district in which Pedrali production facilities are based, a context where this process represents a long-standing tradition. Aluminium is also a recycled and recyclable material, resistant and durable, ensuring long product lifespan.
The base of Estratto is composed of three concave aluminium extrusions that, when joined together, ensure structural stability while leaving the internal cavity empty, creating an elegant interplay of solids and voids. The joint between the elements generates a visual rhythm that highlights the transition between surfaces and contributes to the overall design of the collection. The concave shape modulates and reflects light, enhancing depth and three-dimensionality, while also allowing for easy and functional combinations. The extruded aluminium section allow to create coffee tables or consoles using one or more bases depending on the size of the tabletop.
Pedrali collaborates with AMDL CIRCLE to design their first collection together. A significant step following the collaboration established in 2023 for the company’s 60th anniversary. On the occasion of the 64th edition of Salone del Mobile.Milano, this synergy takes shape in an outdoor collection conceived to bring outdoors the same sophistication, warmth and attention to detail that characterise indoor furniture. The result is Fibra, a collection of daybeds that, thanks to its clean design, enhances the space in which it is placed while engaging harmoniously with the surrounding natural environment.
The key element of Fibra is the solid wood legs. Their shape – almost like a large wooden peg – fits sculpturally into the extruded aluminium frame. The faceted leg and the frame are connected through a die-cast aluminium joint, designed to be almost invisible yet extremely strong, ensuring stability while becoming the structural core of the daybed. The combination of the powder-coated aluminium frame, which guarantees visual lightness and outdoor resistance and the natural FSC® C114358 certified teak wood lends warmth and a sense of connection with the ground. Comfort has a key role in the design of Fibra. More than a simple sun lounger, it is a true daybed that can transform from a single into a double version. The dry-feel polyurethane foam cushion rests on a waterproof textile mesh surface and stands out for its generous thickness, providing a soft, cosy feel. The use of new-generation technical outdoor fabrics that reproduce the appearance and tactile richness of textiles typically used indoors – such as bouclé or more textured weaves – gives the collection a refined look. The concealed reclining backrest allows an easy transition from a semi-reclined position, suitable for reading or conversation, to a fully reclined position for maximum comfort.
The double configuration can be provided with a multifunctional teak slatted top positioned in the centre. When equipped with rear wheels in teak, the sun lounger can be moved more easily, making it even morepractical.
The collection is completed by a set of coffee tables in different sizes, characterised by the same wooden leg of the daybed, positioned externally to the top so that it remains fully visible. The solid aluminium top is available in round, square or rectangular shapes. Fibra evokes a sense of calm and understated elegance — whether by the pool of a Mediterranean villa in natural stone, in the solarium of a contemporary boutique hotel or on an urban terrace — and becomes the protagonist of the first setting that welcomes visitors: an immersive outdoor scenario defined by water reflections, lush greenery and soft tones that invite relaxation. The light brick flooring enhances brightness, while an undulating wall acts as a screen, shaping a more intimate and secluded area.
Filicudi table lamps, by Andrea Pedrali help to create a relaxed atmosphere. Suitable for indoor and outdoor environments, Filicudi is a practical and functional rechargeable table lamp made of an extruded aluminium column and a polycarbonate diffuser, distinguished by compact proportions and minimalistic style. The lamp can be easily separated into two parts: while the diffuser is charging, the column transforms into a watertight flower vase, enhancing the product’s versatility and making it a refined and flexible accessory.
The scene is completed by Twiny rug, designed by DWA Design Studio. Twiny 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 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 second setting evokes an elegant residential environment, where the poplar wood flooring and the furnishings reflect the quality of contemporary living. Opale collection, designed by Patrick Jouin, runs through the space, introducing two new versions: a side chair and a barstool with armrests.
Both recall the distinctive features of the armchair, where elegance and comfort engage in a thoughtful and balanced dialogue. Opale is characterised by soft, organic shapes in which every line is conceived to ensure continuity and aesthetic harmony. The solid ash wood or walnut legs integrate between the backrest and armrests, forming a subtle joint that defines the chair’s profile without interrupting the continuity of the line.
Their oval section gradually tapers downwards into a round, slender shape, adding a sense of lightness and elegance. The seat offers outstanding comfort thanks to the elastic belts. The feature of Opale is the functional handle integrated into the rear of the backrest, that blends into the armchair’s silhouette, enhancing its three-dimensional look. The backrest, seat and armrests are made of injected polyurethane foam. Lightweight and easy to handle, Opale is the perfect solution for elegant residential and hospitality spaces, thanks to its discrete yet eye-catching look. The introduction of the chair and barstool allows spaces to be structured coherently, alternating typologies and playing with heights and rhythms, while maintaining a shared identity.
Opale armchairs and side chairs are arranged around Frank table by Robin Rizzini, presented in a glossy finish and inspired by architectural shapes and industrial materials. The structure on which the top rests is made up of two slightly curved die-cast aluminium bases with variable thickness. The bases taper towards the bottom, reaching the ground in a less accentuated curve and are connected by a sturdy steel beam, placed under the top.
The horizontal pendant Kawara lighting by Yusuke Kawai illuminates the table.
Kawara is a lighting collection that takes its name from the traditional Japanese tile that adorns the triangular roofs of sacred buildings in Japan. Kawara is available as pendant, horizontal, or vertical, as well as floor version. What makes this product very versatile is the option to choose between a single continuous element in extruded aluminium — giving the product a technical, clean, and essential appearance — or adjustable modules connected by small joining rings to allow precise light direction creating a more playful effect. These combinations allow light to be directed towards the table, ceiling or angled at 45°, offering tailor-made solutions for any setting.
The space also features Blume Sideboard, designed by Sebastian Herkner, which echoes the sophisticated flower-shaped profile in extruded aluminium of the homonymous collection and combines storage capacity with the ability to define or divide spaces with elegance and versatility. The sideboard features four curved plywood ash wood or walnut veneered doors, rounded at the ends, combined with extruded aluminium legs in a variety of anodised or powder-coated finishes, in addition to a composite marble or high pressure laminate top. This year, Blume Sideboard is introduced in new versions with different dimensions and depths, designed to expand the range of possible uses: the lower versions are ideal as a TV stand or as a furnishing element to place behind the sofa to divide the space discreetly; the deeper versions, on the other hand, serve as storage units, offering greater capacity.
Along the route, the Pedrali Materioteca takes shape — a collection of materials that define the manufacturer’s identity, presented in their purest essence. Metal finishes, solid woods, textiles, stones, plastic materials and ropes are displayed as they are: each element becomes a geometric volume — prisms, cubes, cylinders — enhancing its material presence and revealing its intrinsic quality. Transformed into elementary forms, the materials take on an almost playful character: measured and essential elements arranged on tables like a large three-dimensional composition. Some are grouped by category, others organised by shape, while others are combined into tactile mood boards that suggest associations and design possibilities. Kawara pendant lighting and Filicudi table lamps illuminate the scene.
Nuova Guinea collection, designed by Cazzaniga Mandelli Pagliarulo, features in the third set, which presents an outdoor patio conceived for long, relaxed moments. Nuova Guinea represents the natural evolution of Guinea collection. A side chair and an armchair in aluminium for outdoor use defined by traditional and archetypical forms that suggest an idea of physical, visual and iconic lightness. The distinctive element of the collection is the weave of the seat and backrest, created as a separate element and subsequently applied to the frame thanks to zips. An innovative design solution conceived as a true covering fabric, making the collection more sustainable as it allows the woven parts to be easily removed and replaced. The polypropylene yarn belts, weather-resistant, are available in two different widths and interwoven to generate an original graphic pattern based on the alternation of a wider and a narrower band. This solution allows the creation of dynamic patterns and colour combinations in two or three colours. The result is a weave that combines maximum comfort with high technical performance. The presence of an elastic belt placed under the seat ensures strength and durability. The large, embracing aluminium frame ensures solidity and lightness. In the armchair version, the die-cast aluminium armrests, integrated and welded to the frame, introduce organic shapes with a pleasant tactile feel.
The collection is arranged around Alu table, featuring an extruded aluminium frame. Alu is the manufacturer’s first table with a solid aluminium top, conceived to combine contemporary aesthetics with functionality in versatile design suitable for a variety of settings — both outdoor and indoor, from residential spaces to contract environments. The elliptical-section extruded aluminium legs, set at a 45° angle, integrate seamlessly with the perimeter frame to ensure stability. Alu is available in fixed, square or rectangular versions, as well as in an extendable option up to 3.1 metres. The latter allows the top to be expanded by means of one or two extensions, stored in a central drawer beneath the top and easily attached when needed. Twiny rug adds a contemporary touch, while Filicudi table lamps light up the atmosphere.
Continuing on, the fourth scene leads indoors, where Anemos table by Pio & Tito Toso — distinguished by simple yet architectural shapes — takes centre stage. Its distinctive feature lies in the base, composed by two separate aluminium shells secured to the top, that take on a flexible and sinuous shape through a double curvature. The top is presented in a glossy blue finish which, matching the base, lends the table a refined and elegant appearance. Anemos is illuminated by Kawara pendant lighting, arranged in a multi-module configuration. Surrounding the table, Griante side chairs and armchairs by Cazzaniga Mandelli Pagliarulo, feature a handwoven seat and backrest made in Italy from a fully recyclable polypropylene yarn belt with a three-dimensional texture. The frame is made of FSC® C114358-certified ash wood. Blume Sideboard by Sebastian Herkner, presented here in a new height, adds a further touch of refinement to the setting.
A mirrored scene in the fifth setting presents two spacious living areas in dialogue with each other, distinguished by their colour palettes and their outlook onto the outdoors, creating two distinct yet complementary atmospheres. The protagonist here is Jeff by Patrick Norguet, 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. The layout also features the new Estratto coffee tables by Formafantasma. The different heights and shapes allow the coffee tables to be placed side by side to create dynamic compositions. Tops are available in round, square or rectangular versions. In the square and rectangular versions, two edges fold slightly downwards, creating a continuous bend that defines the perimeter and introduces a distinctive detail. The glossy lacquered or anodised finishes in different colours transform a technical and industrial material into a decorative element. The lightness of aluminium, both physical and visual, makes the collection versatile and adaptable to different settings, both indoor and outdoor.
The space extends into the sixth setting, opening onto the outdoors, where architectural elements create a sense of intimacy, from which lush nature emerges. The new outdoor seating collection Philía Mesh, by Odo Fioravanti, is paired with the new Ikon Twist table by Pio & Tito Toso. Philía Mesh evokes the shapes that have defined the identity of Philía collection, inspired by traditional Italian garden chairs and recalling the relaxed lifestyle in open air typical of the Italian “dolce vita” of the Sixties. With Philía Mesh, these forms are reinterpreted through new materials that echo Pedrali tradition, with its earliest garden chairs made of expanded metal sheet. A side chair and armchair featured by rational and geometric lines that blend with softer forms typical of the human body. The steel tubular frame ensures solidity and durability, while the seat and backrest in expanded metal sheet give visual lightness and a distinctive texture. The distinctive texture of the metal sheet ensures comfort, breathability and resistance, making Philía Mesh ideal for outdoor living. The signature element of the collection is defined by an opening that gently crosses the backrest, creating a generous and practical integrated handle. Ikon Twist is an outdoor table that evolves the conical base of the Ikon collection, reinterpreting it through a new material aesthetic that enhances its volume. The base is wrapped with a Ø 25 mm polypropylene rope, designed to withstand outdoor conditions while maintaining its aesthetic and performance over time. The texture and mélange colour of the rope, precisely wrapped around the base, create a tactile and sophisticated surface.
The final setting evokes the atmosphere of an urban garden and comes to life around the new Libre collection by Eugeni Quitllet , designed for both indoor and outdoor spaces. Libre is a collection of seating that interacts naturally with the human body and the surrounding space, thanks to an essential design shaped by a deeply human imprint. In Libre, form and function revolve around ergonomics, ensuring maximum comfort within a compact well-proportioned monoblock side chair and armchair. The seat and backrest appear as two distinct elements, precisely set within a fluid and harmonious frame that rises seamlessly from the legs and extends upwards in a continuous gesture, embracing them. The armrest reinforces this sense of continuity and visual balance. The rounded geometry of the seat and backrest recalls the softness of an upholstered pad, while maintaining the material honesty. Gas air moulding technology enables slim profiles while ensuring high structural strength. The soft shapes and organic lines of Libre recall the language of traditional bentwood seating, reinterpreted in a contemporary way. The integrated openings, while echoing this formal heritage, also ensure an easy grip from different angles and facilitate maintenance, making the collection suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. In line with Pedrali ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability, Libre is also available in a recycled polypropylene version derived from post-industrial material. The setting also includes Caementum monoblock coffee tables by Marco Merendi & Diego Vencato, presented in glossy brown, yellow, olive green and beige finishes, and also available in blue and bright green, as well as in matte terracotta or grey concrete options.
The settings come to life around a central courtyard , where several Pedrali collections are featured, including the new Coney barstool by Mandelli Pagliarulo, which introduces a new element to a collection that combines functionality, comfort and a highly graphical visual impact. Available in two different heights, the barstool is made of curved and strong tubular frame and it features clean lines and visual lightness. The seat and backrest create a three-dimensional support, ensuring structural solidity and ergonomy. The equally spaced vertical slats of the backrest, moulded and shaped from metal sheet, create a distinctive pattern together with the horizontal ones of the seat.
In this space, side chairs and armchairs from Coney collection are arranged around a large social table created by combining several Alu tables. Also by Mandelli Pagliarulo are the Nolita Sofa and Nolita Relax, alongside Philía collection designed by Odo Fioravanti.
Philía is characterised by a resistant steel tubular frame, while seat and backrest are wrapped in a PVC cord, textured with lines, that, thanks to horizontal direction weaving, intersects at the centre to ensure elasticity and high resistance.
The setting is completed by Griante and Nemea side chairs and armchairs , Lamorisse wood lounge&sofa — all designed by Cazzaniga Mandelli Pagliarulo — as well as Elliot coffee tables by Patrick Jouin and Blume tables by Sebastian Herkner.

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.
Pedrali, Italian manufacturer of contemporary design furniture for contract and residential environments, took part in the 63rd Salone del Mobile.Milano, the leading international event for the design industry.
Pedrali unveiled nine new collections for indoor and outdoor spaces, including brand new collections and extensions of existing families. These creations are the result of meticulous research and collaborations with renowned Italian and international designers. A family business story that began 62 years ago, a 100% Made in Italy philosophy, concretised in the control of the entire production chain within the Headquarters in Mornico al Serio (Bergamo) and the production unit dedicated to wooden furniture manufacturing in Manzano (Udine). The latter celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, demonstrating the company’s commitment to processing and production of high-quality wooden furniture.
The #PedraliShiftingPerspectives stand, designed by the Milan-based DWA Design Studio, is inspired by the Case Study Houses Program, an American research movement born to explore innovative, functional and sustainable housing solutions.Today more than ever, we are driven to reflect on how architecture and design can evolve in a sustainable and innovative manner to meet the challenges of tomorrow. From this perspective, creating spaces that are welcoming, harmonious and in sync with everyday living needs becomes truly essential.
The stand takes about 1000 sqm on a strong architectural dimension, developed around distinctive formal elements re-interpreted in a contemporary key. #PedraliShiftingPerspectives is both a tribute to the past and a nod to the future.
An architectural grid made of beams and pillars creates a precise geometric pattern, while a flat ceiling emphasises a horizontal development of space, creating a continuous and harmonious visual perception of the stand. Some lower portions of ceiling contribute to creating cosy and intimate areas, evoking a sense of homely warmth.
The layout is fluid and dynamic, defined by partition walls that remove perception of enclosed spaces blending indoor and outdoor and, unveil in backlight new perspectives. The architectural elements of the stand converge without ever touching, lending depth and lightness to the structure. Solid elements and semi-transparent walls seem to filter the daylight, creating dynamic patterns that accentuate the sense of continuity between rooms. This contemporary approach of the space perfectly lines up with Pedrali’s vision, which has always been a promoter of design that blend aesthetics, functionality and well-being, through families of products designed to seamlessly furnish both indoor and outdoor spaces, creating fluid and continuous harmony.
In 1963, open spaces inspired Mario Pedrali to produce his first forged iron collections for outdoor use. With a view to pursuing and guaranteeing the mixture of environments, Pedrali’s outdoor collections have the ultimate goal of bringing the same quality and care to the outdoor as indoor environments.
The green project enriches the space by enhancing the link between humans, nature and architecture, creating living spaces designed to promote the well-being of people. Carefully selected lush, exotic plants fit seamlessly with the architectural structure, creating fluid continuity between the outdoor and indoor environments. Their sculptural three-dimensionality adds character and personality to the spaces, establishing a harmonious dialogue with the structure that houses them.
Brown-coloured beams and pillars serve as a highly graphical element, contrasting with neutral grey walls featuring the essential aesthetics of concrete, the contemporary material par excellence. The presence of wood softens the visual impact, balancing industrial rigour and warm atmospheres.
Each colour variation is a tangible sign of a change in atmosphere, in which surfaces and materials are repeated, giving a sense of uniformity and continuity along the path, creating a fluid and consistent experience. Pedrali collections, the protagonists of the space and the common thread of the entire setup, are placed on raised platforms and highlighted through more intense and bold notes of colours.
This year, for the biennial Euroluce 2025, held at the same time as the Salone, Pedrali also showcased two new lighting collections. Kawara is a lighting collection resulting from the collaboration with Japanese designer, Yusuke Kawai. Kawara takes its name from the traditional Japanese tile that adorns the triangular roofs of sacred buildings in Japan. Kawara is available as pendant, horizontal, or vertical, as well as floor version. What makes this product very versatile is the option to choose between a single continuous element in extruded aluminium — giving the product a technical, clean, and essential appearance — or adjustable modules connected by small joining rings to allow precise light direction creating a more playful effect. The grooves running along the rounded back add elegance to the piece, introducing a refined aesthetic detail. These combinations allow light to be directed towards the table, ceiling or angled at 45°, offering tailor-made solutions for any setting. The LED strip with dimmer allows the brightness of the lighting to be adjusted, adapting it to a variety of needs and creating the right atmosphere in any space. Through the combination of elegant design and exceptional modularity, Kawara fits seamlessly into both residential and commercial spaces, creating unique layouts that explore the art of creating light and shadows in rooms. Filicudi, on the other hand, is the new practical and functional rechargeable lamp designed by Andrea Pedrali. Suitable for indoor and outdoor environments, Filicudi is made of an extruded aluminium column and a polycarbonate diffuser and it is distinguished by compact proportions and minimalistic style. The column is featured by subtle grooves that add depth and visual appeal. The LED light source can be dimmed to three brightness levels via a touch sensor control. The lamp easily separates into two pieces. When the diffuser is charging, the column of the lamp transforms into a watertight flower vase that becomes a versatile object. 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, saving space in commercial environments.
The first room that welcomed visitors to the stand reflects a residential context, in which the reflective ceiling is lowered and abstract installations come to life on the walls, creating a cosy domestic ambience. Opale, designed by Patrick Jouin, takes centre stage in this scene, featuring a fluid and accurately balanced design. Its shapes are soft and organic. Each line ensures continuity and aesthetic harmony: the junction of the leg, in solid ash wood or walnut, armrest and backrest forms a subtle joint that defines the core of the chair’s silhouette. The seat offers outstanding comfort thanks to the elastic belts. The backrest and armrests, made of injected polyurethane foam, ensure balanced proportions. The feature of Opale is the functional handle integrated into the rear of the backrest, that blends into the armchair’s silhouette, enhancing its three dimensional look. Lightweight and easy to handle, Opale is the perfect solution for elegant residential and hospitality spaces, thanks to its discrete yet eye-catching look. Opale armchairs take their place around Frank table by Robin Rizzini, in a glossy finish, inspired by architectural shapes and industrial materials. The structure on which the top rests is made up of two slightly curved die-cast aluminium bases with variable thickness. The bases taper towards the bottom, reaching the ground in a less accentuated curve and are connected by a sturdy steel beam, placed under the top. Frank table has been selected for the ADI Design Index 2024 and is competing for the Compasso d’Oro 2026. The new Kawara lighting, available in both horizontal and vertical pendant versions, help create the atmosphere.
The second space recreates a large outdoor scenario defined by various spaces and the luxuriant use of greenery. Backlit slatted walls create a sense of continuity with the outside, adding depth to the set. The new Lamorisse outdoor lounge & sofa, paired with Buddy coffee tables by Busetti Garuti Redaelli, create a cosy open-air sitting area. Designed by Cazzaniga Mandelli Pagliarulo, the new outdoor lounge collection, is characterised by the contrast between the sober shape of the supporting frame and the rich enveloping soft cushions. The lightweight and stackable frame in extruded aluminium, with oval legs welded to round tube armrests, holds a large and enveloping cushion. The seat is supported by elastic belts to ensure maximum comfort and exceptional strength. The covers for both seat and backrest are removable and linked together by a zip for easy maintenance and cleaning. Lamorisse outdoor armchairs, on the other hand, are arranged around the Anemos table by Pio & Tito Toso, distinguished by simple yet architectural shapes. Its distinctive feature lies in the base, composed by two separate aluminium shells secured to the top, that take on a flexible and sinuous shape through a double curvature. The top is in a clay textured finish that, matching the base, gives the table an elegant look, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor settings. To add a touch of light, Filicudi by Andrea Pedrali is placed on the table. Twiny rug, designed by DWA Design Studio, adds a contemporary touch. 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. Lamorisse lounge and two-seater sofa are now elegantly arranged around the Caementum single-piece concrete tables, designed by Marco Merendi & Diego Vencato. Presented in a glossy olive green finish, these tables are also available in beige, yellow, brown, bright green, and blue, as well as in a matte terracotta or grey concrete option. The wireless rechargeable Giravolta lamps by Basaglia Rota Nodari complete and illuminate the scene.
The new Griante collection, designed by Cazzaniga Mandelli Pagliarulo, is the leitmotif of the third set, creating two fluid interconnected spaces, one outdoor and one indoor. Griante reinterprets the concept of woven seating through a design that combines traditional craftsmanship and industrial production. The collection includes two versions: one designed for indoor and one for outdoor spaces. The latter is the company’s first wooden chair specifically created for outdoor use, drawing from the origins and know-how of the Manzano (Udine) factory. Both options include a chair, an armchair, and a lounge version. The frame of the outdoor version is made of teak, a refined variety of wood characterised by warm tones that is weather-resistant, while the indoor version is made of ash wood; both materials are FSC® C114358 certified. The main feature of Griante is the handwoven seat and backrest made in Italy, with a fully recyclable polypropylene yarn belt with a soft, three-dimensional texture, ensuring comfort and weather resistance. The colours of the weave give to the chair an accurate aspect that evokes natural landscapes. The woven pattern is characterised by the repeated use of geometries of squares, that highlights the generous proportions of the seat, creating a sophisticated and welcoming look. With its timeless design, Griante shows attention to detail in every aspect: the cylindrical legs are turned, and the oval shaped armrest is tapered where it joins the back leg. The aluminium frame provides support for the seat. The outdoor area is characterised by concrete-like walls and floors, it features sculptural greenery that blends with the architecture and a low slatted ceiling recalling a pergola. Here, Griante armchairs are arranged around Anemos table in an outdoor concrete finish, featuring a tactile texture.
The interior space is marked by the use of wood and wall-hanging installations. Matched with Griante chairs is Anemos table, with glossy finish and oval top, illuminated by the horizontal pendant Kawara lighting. To the side, Blume Sideboard, the new piece of furniture designed by Sebastian Herkner, finds its space. Blume Sideboard 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 top. With its elegance, it helps define a relaxation area within the space, where Ester Lounge armchairs by Patrick Jouin, distinguished by soft and generous shapes, and Blume coffee table, also designed by Sebastian Herkner, are placed. 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.
Continuing, visitors approached a living room which features Jeff by Patrick Norguet, a set of miniature architectures in polyurethane foam, skillfully 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 and more compact sized modules for contemporary requirements were launched at the Salone del Mobile 2025, still offering comfort and functionality: a linear module, a footstool and 90° corner unit. Featured by an oblique backrest, the corner unit harmoniously optimises the space. Here, we also find Héra lounge by Patrick Jouin. Made of ash wood, its backrest in curved solid wood is defined by an enveloping and sculptural band ends in rectangular legs with radial angles. The polyurethane foam seat supported by elastic belts maximises the sense of cosiness. The layout also includes Caementum table by Marco Merendi & Diego Vencato and Diego side tables by Jorge Pensi Design Studio. Lightweight and agile, its design offers maximum flexibility and adaptability. The die-cast base and the extruded stem are made of aluminium. The base comes with four spokes, with the front two being asymmetrical to the rear ones, allowing the table to be positioned as close to the seating as possible. These details make it ideal for working while sitting on a sofa or relaxing in an armchair with a cup of coffee. The steel tube column confers stability, while the knob enables a simple and intuitive adjustment. The HPL tabletop, with its trapezoidal shape with rounded corners, can either come in the same colour of the base or in a different finish. Blume Sideboard adds further refinement to the setting, illuminated by Kawara pendant lighting, presented in an elegant configuration with different modules.
The route is interrupted halfway by the Pedrali Materials Library, an immersive architectural experience developed as a very large square table split into sections housing coloured surfaces and samples of materials whose shapes seem to trace the contours of an urban landscape. Each square features micro-architectures made up of various elements, where industrial rawness meets organic softness in a perfectly balanced material dialogue. As you navigate through the space, materials transform before your eyes. Textures shift, and colours evolve, creating a constantly changing atmosphere, just like wandering through bustling streets where everything flows, merges, and reshapes. The Filicudi lamps, arranged on the table, light up the scene like city streetlights, accentuating the abstract perception of watching a city from above. In the middle, a palm introduces a green element, evoking the link between architecture and the environment, emphasising a design ideal in which materials and nature coexist in harmony.
The fifth set evokes the atmosphere of an elegant dining room, featuring Rizz table by Robin Rizzini, in a glossy finish, matched with Héra Soft armchairs by Patrick Jouin. Rizz is a table that ensures strength and lightness at the same time. The four tapered die-cast aluminium legs are the distinctive design element of Rizz. From a triangular section facing outwards, they gradually vary their curve as they continue downwards, tapering into a round section to rest elegantly on the floor. The legs are featured by a sinuous curve directed towards the centre of the table top and connected to a hidden support frame, to ensure aesthetic lightness and maximum stability even with large tops. With ash wood or American walnut frame, Héra Soft is characterised by an elegant and ergonomic backrest made of injected polyurethane foam. The wide seat is made of polyurethane foam supported by elastic belts to maximize the comfort. The oval-shaped solid wood legs accommodate the curved and enveloping backrest and express the attention to detail. The horizontal pendant Kawara lighting illuminates the table, while Twiny rug adds character to the space. To the side, Ila armchairs by Patrick Jouin and Blume coffee table by Sebastian Herkner create a more intimate and cosier corner. Kawara lighting is also included in its floor version. The elegant and high-quality Ila lounge armchair is defined by a strong personality, expressing utmost comfort, softness and sensuality. The smooth, taut exterior in hard polyurethane almost cocoons the user in its large volumes, allowing a moment of relaxation and escape from everyday life. This sense of protection is augmented by the inner side of the backrest and seat in flexible polyurethane foam, which adapts to the human body and envelops it just like a soft embrace. Ila’s versatility lies in the possibility of choosing a geometric and swivelling central base in the shape of a cone section or a four-legs steel tube or solid ash wood frame available in different colours and finishes. Moreover, the version with a large headrest accentuates the sense of escaping from everyday life.
Concluding, the last area recreates an outdoor patio which features the new Coney collection designed by Mandelli Pagliarulo, that combines functionality, comfort and a highly graphical visual impact. The signature features of the family, which includes side chair, armchair and lounge version, are its clean lines and visual lightness. Coney is a mono-material seating made of curved and strong tubular frame. The seat and backrest create a three-dimensional support, ensuring structural solidity and ergonomy. The vertical slats of the backrest, moulded and shaped from metal sheet, create a distinctive pattern together with the horizontal ones of the seat. Here, Concrete tables with a grain concrete base by Pio & Tito Toso and Filicudi lamp by Andrea Pedrali are also placed.
These six settings come to life around a central courtyard, split into various areas: an outdoor terrace, a bistro and a lounge which also doubles as an arena.
Here, we find numerous Pedrali collections, including Nemea by Cazzaniga Mandelli Pagliarulo, which ten years after its debut in 2015, is now presented in a new American walnut version. Nemea is a seating collection made of solid wood legs and plywood backrest, recalling the idea of classic gracefulness shaped by time and history. The American walnut version thanks to its sophisticated grain and enveloping character, enriches the collection adding warmth and elegance. Nemea is also available with a seat woven in cellulose rope, introducing a natural surface that is pleasant to the touch, or with an upholstered seat and backrest, ensuring greater comfort.
The space is further enriched by the Lamorisse Wood armchairs by Cazzaniga Mandelli Pagliarulo, Buddy pouf collection and Buddy Oasi sofas by Busetti Garuti Redaelli, Hevea by Victoria Azadinho Bocconi, and Diego side tables by Jorge Pensi Design Studio. Completing the setting are Laja 2 armchairs by Alessandro Busana, Stiel armchairs, and Blume tables by Sebastian Herkner. There is also space for outdoor collections: Nolita Sofa and Nolita Relax by Mandelli Pagliarulo, Philía side chairs and armchairs by Odo Fioravanti, Caementum tables by Marco Merendi & Diego Vencato, Guinea armchairs by Cazzaniga Mandelli Pagliarulo, and Elliot tables by Patrick Jouin.
From 22 to 25 October Pedrali attended Orgatec, Cologne’s leading international trade show in the world of office furniture focusing on the “new visions of work”. In its 8th participation, the 100% Italian company, leader in the manufacturing of contemporary design furniture for contract and residential presented new collections that affirm and highlight the Brand’s role in the workspace.
Today, the concept of workspace is synonymous with agile, dynamic and functional space, reflecting the new lifestyles and today's work needs. Flexibility is a priority that nowadays affects the physical arrangement of spaces, with new layouts and experiences, and the work mode alike. Offices are now lively places where peoples interact with the aim to be more efficient and focused on their goals, yet strengthening corporate culture. The modern workspace is no longer just a work area, but a cultural hub that fosters company culture and encourages collaboration, creativity, and learning.
The space is designed to host and foster various specialisations and interconnection. Furthermore, ergonomics play a key role: furniture must be adjustable and provided with state of the art mechanisms so as to adapt to the user, ensuring comfort and person’s control over workspace, improving emotional well-being while enhancing creativity and teamwork.
Through #PedraliColoursofLightness stand, designed by the Milan-based DWA Design Studio, Pedrali proposes its vision of work. Furniture must be modular, functional and sustainable, to create work environments that can be easily tailored to the needs of the moment. Lounge areas and collaboration spaces replace traditional meeting rooms, creating a fertile ground for immediate sharing of ideas and skills. In this case, the materials ensure sound absorption and furniture creates private areas that improve acoustic. This flexible setup can be transformed into a formal or informal workstation, responding to different needs.
Furthermore, there is great attention to collaborative spaces, including breakout areas or corporate restaurants, which are becoming increasingly attractive and cosy. These bright, soundproofed areas are configured according to the actual needs of use. Outdoor spaces too become office extensions: places where people love to stay, work or relax. In such settings, the furniture needs to be comfortable and weather resistant. Lastly, the evolution of the office also affects living spaces, where furniture need to integrate discreetly and be easily configured.
In an ever-changing scenario, Pedrali's stand created six scenes reflecting the diversification of contemporary workspaces, through an environment defined by transparencies and characterised by a skilful use of colour and lightweight material.
The entire space is conceived as an architectural volume covering over 700 sqm, crafted with a textile gauze that allows visitors to glimpse and perceive the interior of the stand. To enhance the idea of lightness, a fabric veil creates an almost transparent ceiling with a cerulean hue that, through a delicate interplay of layers, imparts an architectural rhythm to the area. The celestial blue colour of the architecture serves as a background, while more intense and bold notes of colours characterise the products, highlighting them within the scene.
All elements used within the stand were designed to be disassembled and reused, thereby maximising the durability and sustainability. In the path of a continuous regeneration, the elements of the stand unveiled at Salone del Mobile 2024 were reused for the Orgatec stand. In its realisation, attention was paid to the selected materials, the optimisation of raw material consumption, resource rationalisation, material reuse/recycling, and disassemblability from the design phase of the stand.
Lastly, the blending of the workspaces with nature fosters the physical and mental well being of people, improving mood and productivity. This is specifically why the green project also blends seamlessly with the architecture.
The first room recreates an office featuring multiple workstations, with the new Arki-Table Desk as the centerpiece. Two-, four- or six-seater workstations that stand out for their linearity and archetypical trestle legs available in steel or solid oak wood. Thanks to their remarkable versatility, this system of desks is suitable for multiple purposes whether in traditional offices or modern coworking spaces. The tabletop is equipped with a cable management. The sound-absorbing screens upholstered in fabric are available as optional accessories to improve productivity and wellbeing in open-plan offices. The optional accessories, such as monitor mount and magazine holder in different colours, ensure customised and well-organized spaces.
Designed by Jorge Pensi Design Studio, Temps task chair are placed around Arki-Table Desk. Featured by a height-adjustable base made in die-cast aluminium, this chair guarantees excellent ergonomics and comfort thanks to its weight-activated, synchro-tilt mechanism that is able to regulate the degree of tilting autonomously according to the user’s body weight. Its anatomical shape encourages good posture. The seat and backrest are comfortable and snug with its polyurethane injected foam padding, cosily embracing the person sitting in the chair. An injection-moulded polypropylene shell fits around the seat and contains the mechanism, hugging the user’s lower back and ensuring ergonomy and comfort, while the padding inserted in the polypropylene shell designs a continuous line. Two minimal, simple arms made from polypropylene help accentuate the concepts of lightness and dynamism. Temps low back, is characterised by a lower backrest. It is designed to seamlessly fit both in office meeting rooms and residential settings.
Ypsilon Connect by Jorge Pensi Design Studio, and Blume System by Sebastian Herkner, complete the scene. The former is an elegant and functional free standing, sound absorbing partition panel. Featuring clean lines and easily placeable in a variety of settings, Ypsilon Connect is characterised by acoustic panels that are shaped around a structure formed by two die-cast aluminium bases and extruded aluminium columns. One of the greatest strengths of this piece of furniture lies in its extensive customisation possibilities, thanks to which users can create ever new layouts and consequently manage their spaces more effectively. Ypsilon Connect is an extremely versatile piece of furniture that changes appearance according to needs by simply adding accessories such as whiteboards, shelves or coat hangers on any of its sides. This multifunctional panel can be also wired to enable the installation of a TV screen holder.
Blume System is a collection of furnishings that echoes the sophisticated flower-shaped profile in extruded aluminium of the seating collection with the same name. Available in several sizes, the modules create a variety of configurations: from a two-level bedside table, to a three- or four-level shelving system. The structure on which the shelves rest is made of steel and is fastened together by means of aluminium castings, with no visible screws, so as to highlight the precious details of the legs, with adjustable feet, while being both stable, durable and free standing at the same time.
In the same scene, there is also space for a pleasant outdoor lounge area featuring Nolita sofa and Nolita Relax, both by CMP Design, paired with Caementum coffee tables by Marco Merendi & Diego Vencato and Twiny rug by DWA Design Studio.
Nolita Sofa is an outdoor sofa designed to enjoy moments of conviviality and relax in the open air, featuring simple, iconic shapes and a steel tube structure that ensures the greatest strength and durability. The cushions in polyester are protected by a waterproof lining and covered with outdoor fabrics. The versatility of Nolita Sofa lies in the possibility to combine different modules, linear or angular with right or left armrests, which can be connected through a solid laminate connecting top, available in different colours, rectangular or 30° angular. Nolita Relax is a generously sized armchair that maintains the lines and design of the collection, recalling the origins of a historic course started by Mario Pedrali in 1963 with his first metal garden chairs. Nolita Relax confirms its summertime appeal defined by simple and iconic shapes. The steel tube frame gives visual rhythm and gentle proportions, ensuring maximum strength and durability. A single line from the ground, defines both armrests and backrest.
The armchair incorporates the collection's spirit of transparency and lightness, the comfort is given by soft cushions with waterproof lining and removable outdoor fabric cover. Decorative cushions available in various shapes: rectangular, square and round.
Twiny is a rugs collection including 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. Caementum is a monoblock coffee table made of concrete with the addition of carefully selected additives to guarantee excellent technical performance.
The new Laja 2 by Alessandro Busana fits into the second environment, showcasing a conference room. Stylistic simplicity and organic shapes define Laja collection, which was redesigned with softer, cosier shapes. A chair and armchair featured by an injected polyurethane foam seat with elastic belts, and a flexible, welcoming backrest. The distinguishing feature of the collection are the four die-cast aluminium legs, obtained from a single mould. These can be polished or powder coated in different colours to match the upholstery. The legs of Laja 2 are also available in solid ash wood, steel rod or cantilever steel tube frame, or die-cast aluminium spoke base swivelling or with castors. The piping delimits the inner from the outer upholstery, which can be covered in two different textiles.

The Laja 2 wooden legs are FSC® C114358 certified and finished with water-based coatings. Also present here is the aluminium Rizz Office table by Robin Rizzini, that provides both stability and lightness. 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 is positioned in the center, which also serves as a 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 tabletop, for utmost seating capacity.
Hevea partition, by Victoria Azadinho Bocconi fits into the scene to separate the spaces. Hevea is a versatile furnishing element that brings nature into residential and contract settings. This pot holder consists of a central steel stem to which polypropylene pots are hanged, obtaining different configurations based on their number and position. Hevea Partition is a three-column pot-holder that creates green walls and layouts.
Here the Frank table designed by Robin Rizzini and Stiel armchairs by Sebastian Herkner recreate a meeting room. The Frank table is inspired by architectural shapes and industrial materials. The structure on which the top rests is made up of two slightly curved die-cast aluminium bases with variable thickness, the perception of which varies according to the point of view. Seen from the front they are slightly arched and resemble the shape of a sail, creating a light and ethereal optical effect. Seen from the side, the volume appears full. The bases taper towards the bottom, reaching the ground in a less accentuated curve and are connected by a sturdy steel beam, placed under the top. The rectangular top, with rounded corners, is equipped with a cable management.
Stiel is featured by soft and rounded shapes in polyurethane foam on a curved round steel tube frame. The family includes a side chair, an armchair and a lounge version, and a barstool in two different heights. Lamorisse lounge & sofa by CMP Design bring to life an elegant breakout area. A lounge armchair and a twoseater sofa characterized by the contrast between the sober shape of the solid ash wood frame and the soft, generous and enveloping cushion. The solid ash wood frame is characterised by a rounded section armrests in steam-curved ash wood jointed to the oval shaped legs. A thin metal frame supports the seat while elastic belts and non-deformable polyurethane foam guarantee a high level of comfort. Both seat and backrest cushions have removable covers and are linked together by a zip. Lamorisse Wood is made using FSC® C114358 certified wood and water based coatings composed mostly of plant-derived resins.
A waiting area is staged in the third set, featuring the new Plural Soft, the evolution of the Plural seating presented for the first time in 2014 and designed by Jorge Pensi Design Studio. The multiple seats, now available in the upholstered version, are even more comfortable and cosy while maintaining a minimalist design.

The versatility of its components enables multiple configurations with three, four, six and nine seats, defining spaces while conveying a visual rhythm. Ports for charging devices are integrated under the tabletop.
The collection designed by Busetti Garuti Redaelli, Buddyhub and Buddyhub Desk, create dynamic compositions within the fourth environment. Buddyhub - in which a wrap-around, sound absorbing panel envelops the seat in a sort of enclosed niche – is available as an armchair or sofa, and can be used as a quiet, sound-proofed workstation. It is also possible to place two units opposite each other and to join them by means of a panel to which a table can be attached, thus creating an informal meeting space or breakout area. A large seat, in polyurethane foam supported by elastic belts, and a cosy backrest offer exceptional comfort while working or when enjoying a private moment of relaxation away from the surrounding environment. Buddyhub desk also features a perimeter sound-absorbing panel that embraces a solid laminate top, creating a sort of enclosed niche that ensures acoustic and visual privacy.
This new piece of furniture can be used as a workstation and be fitted with a cable management unit. Alternatively, it can be used as a temporary workstation, measuring 82x59 cm and 90 cm in height, designed as an intimate space for informal work needs or for calls, in both a standing or sitting position. Both products are supported by the slender lightweight frame that raises them off the ground, lightens their overall appearance, promoting functionality that makes cleaning and maintenance operations easier.

Elinor Low Back has an elegant height-adjustable base in die-cast aluminium, with aesthetically pleasing sinuous lines. A weight activated synchro-tilt mechanism integrated in the upholstered seat allows the tilting to be self regulated according to the user’s body weight, ensuring that the back is kept in the most comfortable position. Other strong points of Elinor low back are its comfort and body-hugging feeling, thanks to the polyurethane injected foam on both seat and back. A light, slimline, strong armrest in die-cast aluminium defines the base of the backrest with its fluid line, accentuating the attention to detail that characterizes this unique chair.
Boxie storage system by Claudio Dondoli and Marco Pocci and Ypsilon Connect by Jorge Pensi Design Studio complete the space. Meanwhile, Blume System by Sebastian Herkner separates this environment from a lounge area featuring Jeff sofa designed by Patrick Norguet, Héra Lounge armchair by Patrick Jouin, Blume coffee tables, with Palazzo composite marble top, designed by Sebastian Herkner and Twiny rug by DWA Design Studio.
Jeff is a contemporary modular sofa system that offers elegance and refinement, addressing the needs of upholstered products in modern living spaces. Jeff is designed as a set of miniature architectures, skilfully combined to create multiple modular and reconfigurable scenarios, suitable also for furnishing lounge areas. Linear or corner elements (120°) combine with chaise longues and end pieces, all with or without armrests, allowing for the creation of different configurations, from the most classic corner solutions to the most modern island set-ups. Available in two shapes and sizes, the backrest cushions further contribute to the sofa’s overall comfort, providing effective lumbar support.
The enriching piping that outlines the profile endows the sofa with an almost tailored appearance. The lining is removable so that it can be cleaned and maintained with ease. A system of connecting hooks makes it possible to dismantle and reconfigure the sofa, customising it and adapting it according to the evolution of the space.
Héra Lounge echoes the silhouette of the armchair designed in 2019, embodying the concept of lightness fusing it with that of comfort and elegance. Made of ash wood, its backrest in curved solid wood is defined by an enveloping and sculptural band ends in rectangular legs with radial angles. The polyurethane foam seat supported by elastic belts maximises the sense of cosiness. The wooden elements of Héra lounge are FSC® C114358 certified and finished with water-based coatings composed mostly of plant-derived resins.
Finally, several collections recreate breakout areas and indoor and outdoor café areas, with one also serving as an arena. Included in the featured collections is Buddyhub Sideboard designed by Busetti Garuti Redaelli, the new storage system from the Buddy family, recalling the collection's friendly and welcoming design. A versatile piece of furniture conceived for modern workspaces, providing storage capacity while serving as space divider, both visually and acoustically. Buddyhub Sideboard features a sound-absorbing panel that embraces a sideboard featuring an HPL top and three solid laminate doors. Thanks to its versatility, it adapts to various needs and environments, such as coffee corners or meeting rooms. The water-resistant top is equipped with a functional cable duct, allowing the accommodation of small appliances. The space is enriched by Philía chairs and armchairs and Babila Twist armchairs, both designed by Odo Fioravanti, Panarea lounge armchairs by CMP Design, Dome barstools by Odo Fioravanti and Héra Straw armchairs and Elliot tables, both designed by Patrick Jouin.
Pedrali unveils a new chapter of #PEDRALITALES, the 2024 advertising campaign that conveys the brand's elegant lifestyle through its outdoor collections, set in an outstanding location.
The photos were taken in Sicily at the beginning of summertime and reveal a contemporary style deeply connected with the surrounding landscape, rich in the typical colours and flavors of the Mediterranean scrub. The warm tones of the earth and the use of local materials dominate the scene – dry stone walls lit by the sun, built using local stones, recall the golden hues of honey, beige marble cobblestones, and walls covered with hand-painted majolica tiles echoing the colours of flowers and berries. These elements blend harmoniously with the pure and wild nature. Centuries-old almond trees, olive trees, cacti, succulents plants and aromatic herbs infuse the garden with the scents and history of the place. The flowers offer a rich palette of colours from yellow to pink and purple, transforming the landscape into a natural hand-painted painting. The sunlight reveals evocative shadows, creating rarefied and welcoming atmospheres, while in the background, the blue sea creates a breathtaking contrast.
A genuine Mediterranean backdrop where Pedrali products stand out with bright and playful tones to highlight both their material texture and finishing assortments. These settings sublimate the beauty of the products but also emphasise the deep connection between design and the natural landscape where they are placed. Outdoor spaces’ design in recent years has been effected by significant changes, driven by trends of the sustainability, comfort, and aesthetic innovation. The growing interest in outdoor living has led to the development of solutions which enhance open air spaces, transforming them into pieces of genuine paradises. In the pursuit of blending environments, Pedrali's outdoor collections offer the same quality and care of indoor furnishings.
The first two settings show a social atmosphere where natural and traditional elements, such as stone or tile walls, are masterfully combined using a colour palette from neutral sand tones to plant greens, and earthy browns, ochres, and beiges, mixed with shades of blue and aqua marine.
The first shot features Toa table by Robin Rizzini and Guinea armchairs by CMP Design. Toa table combines a technical-industrial style with decorative allure, giving life to a functional and evocative product. Lightweight and minimalist, the Toa table distinguishes itself for its solid bridge legs made of die-cast aluminium, thinner at the base and widen up towards the “T” element that supports the top. The use of geometry gives life to an iconic shape that blends the strength and lightness of a minimal design. The table’s stability and mechanical strength are guaranteed by two steel bars joining the two legs to the top. The possibility of combining tops made from durable materials such as solid laminate, also available in stone or terrazzo finishes, makes Toa suitable for outdoor use, as in this case.
Guinea is an aluminium outdoor armchair with an iconic allure that evokes the concept of lightness and transparency. The hallmark of Guinea are the FSC® C114358 certified teak armrests, which fit into the aluminium frame offering a pleasant touch detail that mitigates heat and cold temperatures. A moderate use of a durable tropical wood to preserve the material. The large, welcoming aluminium frame combines with a seat in waterproof textile mesh on which rests a soft, removable cushion. Guinea backrest can be customised in various configurations. The version with a waterproof textile mesh backrest is reminiscent of the traditional director's chairs, with an enhanced sense of visual lightness. The version with the backrest in aluminium slats may be upholstered in fabric to further enhance comfort.
Toa table also fits in the second shot, surrounded by Lamorisse armchairs by CMP Design. Lamorisse is an armchair designed for outdoor living, but it is equally suited to any setting of pure relax. Its lightweight aluminium structure with oval legs welded to round tube armrests, hosts a large and comfy cushion. The main feature of this armchair is the contrast between the sleek shape of the supporting frame and the use of reach and cozy cushion. The seat is supported by elastic belts that offer maximum comfort and strength which almost disappear to focus the attention on the cushion, consisting of multiple sections joined by a zip and folded to create a shell.
Poolside area, the new Buddy Oasi collection, presented here in vibrant and playful tones, creates an elegant and welcoming corner. Designed by Busetti Garuti Redaelli, generously sized poufs and sofas maintain the contrast between the bold volumes of the seat and the lightness of the legs typical of the Buddy family. The distinguishing feature of Buddy Oasi is the movable backrest, with a soft, organic shape. Made of injected polyurethane foam, it can be easily positioned on the seat to create multiple configurations. A ballast and a non-slip fabric base provide stability to the backrest element. Buddy Oasi is designed to furnish outdoor environments, thanks to a waterproof lining and removable outdoor fabric cover ensuring easy maintenance. Available in five sizes, and two heights, Buddy Oasi offers the freedom to create multiple layouts. Here, Caementum by Marco Merendi and Diego Vencato also finds its place, a monoblock concrete table specifically designed for outdoor use, available in two heights. Through the addition of carefully selected additives, this highly resistant material guarantees excellent technical performance, including ease of cleaning, greater resistance to mechanical stresses and weathering, and low permeability to liquids and stains.
Pedrali's sofa collections create environments that are both vibrant and relaxing – outdoor livings nestled in lush vegetation, perfect for relaxing in the open air. Arki-Sofa is an outdoor lounge seating system that offers comfort and elegance, same as an indoor sofa. This piece of furniture echoes the extruded aluminium frame and the linear, rigorous shapes of the successful Arki collection. Its geometrically shaped and generously thick cushions rest on a light structure supported by elastic belts. The polyurethane foam padding with waterproof lining covered in outdoor fabric guarantees excellent performances in the open air. The seat is raised off the ground by stainless steel feet, while the backrests and armrests are characterised by distinctive teak details. The “Plus” version offers a wider and deeper seat. The distinguishing features of this piece of furniture are its clean lines and the absence of visible screws. Thanks to linear modules and chaise longues, Arki-Sofa Plus allows multiple compositions to fit different needs of furnishing spaces.
Reva Cocoon, designed by Patrick Jouin, evokes a relaxing, dreamy ambience in its very name. Born from the desire to create a flexible outdoor piece of furniture ensuring ultimate freedom of use, Reva Cocoon is highly configurable to ensure maximum comfort and personalisation. The result is a new concept of elegance marked by pure lines and fine appearance. Reva Cocoon is a system of lounge seats for outdoor use: sofas made up of linear and corner elements and chaise longues, with backrests in two different heights. The line stands out for its striking backrests in stainless steel woven with rope in weather resistant polypropylene, for a truly natural appearance. To enhance comfort and ensure greater seating depth, the high backrests of Reva Cocoon are defined by a double curvature embracing the outline of the frame in extruded aluminium, at the ends of which stand four tapered legs in diecast aluminium. The cozy feeling is enhanced by the soft cushions that rest on the structure available in different shapes: rectangular, square and round. With its generous volumes and high backrests, Reva Cocoon creates a space within the space, offering protection and shelter from the outside world for those seeking a moment of relaxation and escape. The cord element, made 100% in Italy by expert craftsmen, offers privacy yet keeping the piece of furniture airy and bright using a thicker weave in the lower part and a looser one in the upper section. The set also features Panarea lounge by CMP Design, characterised by a traditional element hand-woven in Italy. This lounge armchair comes with a wide seat and a high backrest which outline traces virtual circular space of relax and conviviality. A comfortable cushion in dry-feel polyurethane foam that dries quickly and covered in fabric made from the same yarn used for the woven element. Caementum, presented in a glossy finish and available in blue, green, yellow, and beige colours, and Giravolta wireless lamp by Basaglia Rota Nodari fits perfectly in the setting.
Complete both settings the Twiny by DWA Design Studio, a collection of rugs born from the desire to create even more cosy and intimate atmosphere in the open air. 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 name Twiny reflects the essence of the rug design, with two motifs almost like twins: when multiple rugs are placed side by side, they create rhythm and a playful visual effect. 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.
Nolita sofa and Nolita Relax by CMP Design recall the origins of a historic course, started by Mario Pedrali in 1963 with his first metal garden chairs. A sofa and a lounge armchair that confirm their summery and joyful character, featuring simple and iconic shapes and a steel tube structure that provide visual rhythm and gentle proportions and ensure the greatest strength and durability. Nolita sofa and Nolita Relax keep the collection’s distinctive features of transparency and lightness. The comfort is enhanced by soft cushions padded in polyester, protected by a waterproof lining and covered with outdoor polypropylene fabrics. The versatility of Nolita sofa lies in the possibility to combine different modules: linear or angular with right or left armrest, that can be linked together by an HPL connecting top, available in different colours, rectangular or angular.
Philía, by Odo Fioravanti, takes center stage in a shot. Philía is a collection of outdoor seating reminiscent of the traditional Italian garden chairs, it recalls relaxed lifestyle in open air, typical of the Italian “dolce vita” of the Sixties. A side chair and armchair featured by geometric lines that blend with softer forms typical of the human body. Philía has a resistant high tensile steel tubular frame, while seat and backrest are wrapped in a textured pvc cord. The horizontal direction of the weaving, intersecting at the centre, ensures elasticity and high resistance. The hand-made weave gives softness and comfort to the seat, as well as a tailored made look. Frame and weave can be either one colour or two tones, presented in warm shades that blend easily into natural landscapes.
Anemos table by Pio and Tito Toso and Babila Twist armchairs by Odo Fioravanti, all pictured in warm terracotta shade, recreate a quite corner to enjoy a pleasant break surrounded by nature. Babila Twist stands out for a rhythm of straight and curved lines, creating a connection between the artificial world and the soft body shapes. Babila Twist is characterised by a large and comfy woven seat with a flat rope in weatherresistant polypropylene. This weave, handmade in Italy by expert craftsmen, wraps around the armrests and creates a play of light and shadow on the backrest. Babila Twist distinguishing feature is the combination of a woven body and a tubular steel frame with slats for the seat. These are screwed, making them easy to disassemble and recycle. A comfortable cushion made from dry-feel polyurethane foam that dries quickly, is covered in fabric for outdoor use. Anemos is a table characterised by simple and architectural shapes designed to enhance the texture of concrete, giving it a new style. The distinctive feature of Anemos is the base, composed of two separate concrete shells secured to the top. Like a structural membrane, these elements free themselves from their image of intrinsic weight and, through a double curvature, take on a flexible and sinuous shape. This very shape allows the thickness of the concrete to be left to a minimum. The result is a table that seems sculpted by the wind, visually light yet stable and solid due to its significant weight, capable of supporting large tops.
The idea behind Panarea, designed by CMP Design, is rooted in the Mediterranean coastline, and in the colours and refreshing breeze of an outdoor dinner on a sea-facing terrace, on a pleasant summer day. This collection of outdoor seats, including an armchair and a lounge armchair, feature a traditional element hand-woven in Italy as a sign of respect for and dedication to Italian craftsmanship. The wide and curved backrest is woven in polypropylene cord which creates an original geometrical pattern and wraps around the tubular steel frame as far as the armrests. This use of cord emphasises Panarea’s elegant appearance and optimises the weave, resulting in a double curvature that gives the chair a three-dimensionality and graphic rigour, as well as making it transparent, easy to move and suitable for outdoor use. A comfortable cushion in dry-feel polyurethane foam that dries quickly and covered in fabric made from the same yarn used for the woven element.
Pedrali, the leading Italian company that produces contemporary furniture for contract and residential, has recently inaugurated its new workspaces at the Headquarters in Mornico Al Serio (Bergamo). The project, named Pedrali Collaborative Space, was designed by the Milanese architectural firm Park Associati, which in 2022 oversaw the renovation and expansion of the company restaurant.
From the very name - Pedrali Collaborative Space - it is clear that the guiding principle behind the design was to create a contemporary, dynamic and flexible workspace, developed through the modulation of an innovative layout that focuses on the comfort of the people who use these spaces everyday.
The last few years have been rethinking the workspaces with new cross, hybrid areas that move away from the static nature of traditional offices. The modern workspace is no longer just a work area, but a community space that fosters company culture and encourages interaction, sharing, and collaboration. The result is a mix of functional areas that serve as a setting for Pedrali products which, placed inside a neutral container, are displayed and used in perfect harmony with the architectural volume thanks to the refined selection of models, fabrics and colours.
Within the Pedrali Collaborative Space well-being and innovation go hand in hand. The furnishings can be customised and equipped with high-end mechanisms capable of adapting to the user. This adaptability is not just about comfort but also about giving individuals full control and management of their workspace, improving emotional quality, stimulating creativity and teamwork, and responding to the demands of the digital age.
The evolution of work dynamics in recent years has led to a transformation of the workspaces into a place for social interaction, idea generation and community building. Its purpose is to facilitate collaboration, creativity, and learning. Fluidity and sharing are therefore identified as the key concepts that animate the 560 sqm of the Pedrali Collaborative Space, divided into three main areas: the contemporary workspace with multiple workstations, the meeting areas and the breakout rooms.
The terracotta-colour, a common thread linking the new workspaces to the company restaurant project, catches the attention of those who cross the threshold of the entrance to the workspaces building, whose access area is outlined by a double-height space, providing a sense of verticality thanks to the elegant and majestic presence of 25 Isotta pendant lamps by Basaglia Rota Nodari.
The smart office is characterised by 32 workstations spread over the entire floor, defined by the practical Arki-Table Adjustable Desk, which guarantees maximum comfort and ergonomics thanks to its heightadjustable top. The components of office furniture are evolving to achieve better performance, with the primary goal of enhancing people's well-being. Through a mobile application installed on smartphones, users can save personalized settings for the Arki-table adjustable desk and set personal wellness goals, allowing for a combination of standing and sitting work.
A sound absorbing panel upholstered in fabric can divide the space between different workstations. Accompanying the Arki-Table adjustable Desk is Polar, designed by Jorge Pensi Design Studio, a task chair that ensures maximum customization in terms of ergonomics. Characterised by an organic form Polar is designed to adapt to the human body, ensuring the well-being of its users. A dynamic object with a clear identity, it can fit into a variety of settings such as workspaces and multipurpose spaces. The chair guarantees excellent comfort thanks to its weight-activated, synchro-tilt mechanism that is able to regulate the degree of tilting autonomously according to the user’s body weight. The backrest consists of an injected-moulded nylon frame with a breathable, flexible polyester mesh for a sense of transparency. The injection moulded polypropylene support at the lumbar area may be adjusted to the user's needs. The seat, in polyurethane foam, can move via a special mechanism that allows its depth to be adjusted. Polar is available as a chair or armchair. The latter features minimalist armrests that can be adjusted in height, depth and width, and can be orientated to suit the user’s needs. The performance of the mechanisms makes the Polar armchair conform to type A of the UNI EN 1335-1:2020 standard, ensuring ergonomics principals and wellbeing in the work environments. Boxie, the wheeled storage system by Claudio Dondoli & Marco Pocci, completes the space.
During the working day, meetings are crucial moments that can affect the quality of projects, providing opportunities for enrichment and comparison. The Pedrali Collaborative Space hosts three well-organized meeting rooms, delimited by glass walls that harmoniously allow for dialogue while maintaining the privacy required by the context. In the central area, two rooms feature the linearity and rigour of the Arki-Table, surrounded by the Nym Soft armchairs by CMP Design in the first setting and the Laja armchairs, designed by Alessandro Busana, in the second - both with swivel bases. Elinor collection by Claudio Bellini characterises the third and last meeting area: the task armchair Elinor low back, with its dynamism, flexibility and attention to user’s well-being, synthesises the different attitudes and ways of experiencing the workspace of the future, is placed around the Elinor table, a multitasking product characterised by premium aesthetic credentials that meets the needs of a constantly-changing market. Elinor low back, characterised by a lower backrest and sinuous lines, is designed to seamlessly fit both in meeting rooms and executive offices. This task chair has an elegant height-adjustable base in die-cast aluminium. A weight-activated synchro-tilt mechanism integrated in the upholstered seat allows the tilting to be self-regulated according to the user’s body weight, ensuring that the back is kept in the most comfortable position. Other strong points of Elinor low back are its comfort and body hugging feeling, thanks to the polyurethane injected foam on both seat and back. A light, slimline, strong armrest in die-cast aluminium defines the base of the backrest with its fluid line, accentuating the attention to detail that characterises this collection.
Ypsilon Connect by Jorge Pensi Design Studio is a standout feature in all three spaces. This elegant and functional free standing, sound absorbing space divider offers extensive customisation possibilities, defining new layouts and managing spaces more effectively, adapting workspaces to corporate training or meeting room situations. On each side of the panel it is possible to add accessories such as whiteboards, shelves, coat hangers or, thanks to a special provision for the passage of sockets, enable the attachment of a screen.
To promote social interaction, the demand for breakout areas has grown, providing spaces for relaxation or breaks with colleagues. Toa table by Robin Rizzini, lightweight and minimalist, is characterised by a solid die-cast aluminium frame in a fluid geometric design, suitable to support large sized tops. Moreover, being endlessly modular in length and width, it’s the perfect choice for workspaces, shaping different settings such as “light” offices and executive rooms. Inside the Pedrali Collaborative Space, surrounded by Nemea chairs by CMP Design, Toa presents itself as a large convivial table with the dual function of a break or informal meeting space.
A more intimate area is provided by Buddyhub by Busetti Garuti Redaelli, a functional and efficient furnishing element, characterised by a wrap-around, sound absorbing panel, available in two heights, that envelops the seat in a sort of enclosed niche. Buddyhub is available as an armchair or sofa, and can be used as a quiet, sound-proofed temporary workstation. It is created to meet the needs of open spaces typical of a contemporary working environment. It is also possible to place two units opposite each other and to join them by means of a panel, thus creating a four-seat box suitable for an informal meeting, a phone booth or a break out area. The functionality of this element is further enhanced by the possibility of adding sockets both to the armchair and box versions, so as to be able to connect a charger. In this case, it is also possible to provide for a screen holder, a peninsula table or a shelf. The soft lines and clean design of the Buddy coffee tables by Busetti Garuti Redaelli add the finishing touches to the space.
In the Pedrali Collaborative Space special attention was paid to selected materials. The staircase ramps and the handrails are covered in natural oak, the same material used for the entire flooring of the workspace, which is floating and radiant with wooden square tiles. Another relevant issue in an open-plan workspace is the sound insulation. Running along the entire perimeter of the architectural structure - both along the glass and masonry walls - is a system of acoustic curtains. These curtains not only serve to soundproof the space but also allow for the management of natural light, creating a harmonious atmosphere and contributing to the perception of a neutral and homogeneous envelope. Also on the ceiling, a system of sound absorbing panels on tracks fosters concentration by creating an acoustically protected workspace.
Energy efficiency is a relevant focus in the project by Park Associati. First of all, a conspicuous thermal and acoustic insulation has been applied to the ceiling of the space to be heated. Secondly, a structurally integrated radiant system has been installed in the floating floor, providing both winter heating and summer cooling. This system is coupled with controlled mechanical ventilation for air exchange and summer dehumidification. The necessary thermal and cooling energy is produced by a heat pump with high seasonal efficiency. With a view to constantly improving the company in the wake of sustainability, the energy required to power these new workspaces is also generated by photovoltaic panels installed on the factories.
Inside the Pedrali Headquarters in Mornico al Serio, the Pedrali Collaborative Space stands for a place for exchanges and comparisons where well-being and comfort blend seamlessly with the fluidity and openness of the spaces: the same spaces that, every day, host everyday scenes from the Pedrali community.
