Pedrali

Heritage

In 1963 Mario Pedrali founded a small workshop in Palazzolo sull'Oglio (Brescia), where he began producing his first outdoor collections of wrought iron seats. From the 1970s the company worked with Italian and foreign architects and designers, specialising ever more in industrial production for the contract furniture sector. Pedrali has taken part in Milan's Salone del Mobile since 1988. Today it is led by his children Monica and Giuseppe Pedrali and employs around 360 people; in 2023 it marked its 60th anniversary with the Pedrali Pavilion by AMDL CIRCLE and Michele De Lucchi at its headquarters.

Philosophy

Pedrali produces contemporary chairs, tables, furnishings and lamps for contract and residential use in metal, plastics, wood and upholstery, all 100% Made in Italy. Every component is produced internally at two sites: Mornico al Serio (Bergamo) for metal, plastic and upholstered pieces, and Manzano (Udine), opened in 2005 in Friuli's Chair District, for wood. It is an Industry 4.0 company, holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14064-1 certifications, and its wood products are FSC certified.
