Located in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia Chair District, this facility quickly became a crucible where iconic designs like Frida, Malm\u00f6, and Nemea were brought to life. These creations solidified Pedrali\u2019s dedication to Italian know-how, quality craftsmanship, and a forward-thinking approach to sustainable design. Marking its 20th anniversary, the brand also introduces <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/design\/cmp-design-griante-pedrali-italian-craft-fully-disassembled-lake-como-interview-04-28-2025\/\">Griante<\/a><span>, its first <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/wood-and-timber-architecture\/\">wooden<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/chair-design\/\">chair<\/a><span> specifically crafted for outdoor use, designed by CMP Design.

This approach, deeply integrated with a profound respect for natural resources and collaborative design, leads to products that are not only aesthetically compelling but also built for longevity and environmental responsibility \u2013 critical considerations for contemporary architectural and interior projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>This dedication to quality and regional expertise stems from a clear vision articulated by<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pedrali.com\/en-us\">the company<\/a><span>\u2018s leadership. <\/span>As Monica Pedrali, CEO of the company, explains<span>, <\/span><span>\u2018Italy boasts some of the world\u2019s best technologies for manufacturing wooden chairs, and a heritage of expert skills in raw material selection and complex processes that is hard to replicate elsewhere. As seating experts, we couldn\u2019t afford to not have a wooden chair in our collection.\u2019<\/span><span> Moreover, the choice of location was equally decisive. <\/span><span>\u2018The Friuli region has a tradition and manufacturing know-how of wooden chairs like nowhere else in the world. It is a classic example of an Italian industrial district where the collaboration of many craftsmen with specialised skills creates something unique. Since we decided to open a wooden manufactory, we had no choice but to come to this territory to find the best expertise.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Pedrali blends Italian know-how and quality craftsmanship | image \u00a9 Filippo Romano<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">SUSTAINABILITY AT THE CORE OF WOODWORKING\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Leveraging this regional expertise and collaborative spirit, the Manzano manufactory has been the birthplace of several iconic designs. The Frida chair, designed by Odo Fioravanti and awarded the ADI Compasso d\u2019Oro in 2011, is a prime example. Featuring a three-dimensional curved plywood shell on a solid wood frame, its construction, demanding absolute precision in design and production<\/span>,<span> demonstrates Pedrali\u2019s ability to push the boundaries in woodworking. Furthermore, numerous collections by CMP Design, such as Malm\u00f6, Nemea, and Nym, showcase a versatile design language rooted in thoughtful material application and structural ingenuity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Frida chair by Odo Fioravanti exemplifies Manzano\u2019s precision in wood processing | image \u00a9 Piercarlo Quecchia, DSL Studio<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>All of Pedrali\u2019s wooden products are FSC\u00ae C114358 certified, guaranteeing wood sourced from responsibly and adequately managed forests that align with strict environmental, social, and economic standards. This commitment is central to the brand\u2019s deeply ingrained sustainability practice, further strengthened through its adoption of water-based coatings. Composed mostly of plant-derived resins, this choice significantly decreases chemical compounds found in traditional coatings, resulting in a healthier working environment, reduced air pollution, and substantial energy savings. It\u2019s a challenging yet crucial innovation for the wooden seating sector, where solvent-based paints are typically used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>CMP Design\u2019s Nemea chairs showcase a versatile design language rooted in thoughtful material application | image \u00a9 Piercarlo Quecchia, DSL Studio<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Beyond product design, Pedrali\u2019s commitment to environmental responsibility extends to its operational footprint. The Manzano manufactory itself exemplifies this, having undergone a significant expansion in 2019 that included the installation of photovoltaic panels and a full conversion to LED lighting. These substantial upgrades directly contribute to reducing the company\u2019s overall CO2 equivalent emissions, a commitment rigorously measured through its Corporate Carbon Footprint assessment. Additionally, a dedicated vacuum plant for wood waste separation ensures that both clean and treated wood chips are efficiently recycled and reused.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>The 20-year milestone of the Manzano production site is not merely an endpoint but a powerful motivation for Pedrali to continue its journey of constant growth and renewal. It stands as a testament to the enduring values of tradition, innovation, and sustainability, driven by the perseverance, passion, and dedication that define Pedrali\u2019s approach to furniture design.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Pedrali\u2019s water-based coatings, derived from plants, reduce chemical compounds and environmental impact | image \u00a9 Piercarlo Quecchia, DSL Studio<\/p>\n<p>a fully managed in-house production process ensures quality and precise control over every stage | image \u00a9 Piercarlo Quecchia, DSL Studio<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>located in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia Chair District, this facility quickly became a crucible for iconic designs<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>decreasing chemical compounds found in traditional coatings results in a healthier working environment | image \u00a9 Filippo Romano<\/p>\n<p>Pedrali\u2019s wooden products are FSC\u00ae certified, guaranteeing responsible sourcing from adequately managed forests | image \u00a9 Piercarlo Quecchia, DSL Studio<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>project info:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>brand: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pedrali.com\/en-us\"><span>Pedrali<\/span><\/a><span> | <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pedralispa\/\"><span>@pedralispa<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>location: <span>Manzano (Udine), Friuli-Venezia Giulia Chair District<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/design\/pedrali-20th-anniversary-woodworking-manzano-manufactory-iconic-chairs-07-10-2025\/\">pedrali celebrates 20 years of woodworking in manzano manufactory with iconic chairs<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A CELEBRATION TO REAFFIRM QUALITY WOODEN FURNITURE \u00a0 In 2025, Pedrali marks a significant milestone, celebrating two decades since the establishment of its wooden furniture manufactory in Manzano, Italy.
