Italian contemporary furniture manufacturer Pedrali made a striking return to Salone del Mobile.Milano 2025, marking its 36th participation in the fair with the unveiling of nine new collections for indoor and outdoor spaces. The new creations, ranging from furniture to lighting, were the product of extensive research and collaborations with leading Italian and international designers.
Pedrali's showcase, under the theme #PedraliShiftingPerspectives, was set within a bold new architectural installation designed by Milan-based DWA Design Studio. The stand, occupying approximately 1,000 sqm in Hall 24 (Stand D30-D38), drew inspiration from the Case Study Houses Program, a mid-century American movement focused on innovative and sustainable housing. The layout featured "an architectural grid made of beams and pillars," with a flat ceiling that "emphasised a horizontal development of space," creating "a continuous and harmonious visual perception." This fluid concept blurred the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living, aiming to foster well-being and reconnect humans with nature.
The first setting introduced a residential scene featuring the Opale armchair by Patrick Jouin, celebrated for its fluid silhouette and integrated handle: '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.' Opale was paired with the Frank table by Robin Rizzini, which has been selected for the ADI Design Index 2024 and is competing for Compasso d'Oro 2026.
In a large outdoor area, the new Lamorisse lounge collection by CMP Design featured prominently. 'The new outdoor lounge collection is characterised by the contrast between the sober shape of the supporting frame and the rich enveloping soft cushions.' Nearby, the Caementum concrete tables and Giravolta rechargeable lamps completed the scene with functionality and elegance.
A key highlight of Pedrali's presence was the debut of two lighting collections during Euroluce 2025. The Kawara range, created with Japanese designer Yusuke Kawai, 'takes its name from the traditional Japanese tile that adorns the triangular roofs of sacred buildings in Japan.' Available in multiple formats, Kawara offered both minimalist and playful configurations. The Filicudi lamp by Andrea Pedrali, designed for both indoor and outdoor use, featured a clever twist: 'When the diffuser is charging, the column of the lamp transforms into a watertight flower vase.'
Pedrali also spotlighted new materials and textures in its Materials Library, an immersive architectural installation: 'Textures shifted, and colours evolved, creating a constantly changing atmosphere, just like wandering through bustling streets where everything flows, merges, and reshapes.'
Further highlights included the versatile Griante collection, the Blume Sideboard by Sebastian Herkner, and compact modules of the Jeff sofa by Patrick Norguet. The display concluded in a central courtyard with a tribute to the Nemea collection, presented in a new American walnut version, celebrating ten years since its debut.
Pedrali's 2025 showcase proved once again its ability to blend innovation, craftsmanship, and architectural narrative in shaping the future of contemporary design.
