Amongst the new products are seven product families, as well as other designs including an outdoor table with a concrete base. These are constructed from a combination of wood, upholstered materials, plastic and metal.

The steel outdoor seating evokes the origins of a historical journey that Mario Pedrali started in 1963 with the first metal garden chairs.

Seven brand new families and new models that enrich the existing ones highlight the Company perfectly balanced use of wood and upholstery, alongside metal and plastic materials.

Above all, the collection of seatings for outdoor entirely made of steel evokes the origins of a historical journey which Mario Pedrali started in 1963 with the first metal garden chairs; the die-casted aluminium armchair is elegant and sophisticated, while the choice of concrete for the outdoor table base is natural and bright.
