Pedrali — born outdoors in 1963, engineered for the rooftop, the terrace and the campus
Pedrali did not add outdoor later; it started there. In 1963 Mario Pedrali was bending wrought iron into garden seating, and sixty years on that outdoor instinct is still the point of difference. Today Pedrali is an Italian contract specialist whose chairs, armchairs, stools, benches and tables are built to live outside — on the rooftop terrace, the campus quad, the hotel courtyard — and to match indoors without a seam. The same design rigour earned the Frida chair a Compasso d'Oro; the whole range is 100% made in Italy.
For a company it means one seating story that carries from the reception and meeting rooms to the café, the lounge and the outdoor arrival — four worlds (hospitality, outdoor, residential, workspace) from one Italian maker, so the terrace and the boardroom finally belong to the same project.
Sixty years after those first wrought-iron outdoor chairs, La Mercanti brings Pedrali to US projects — terrace included, samples first.

FAQ
Can one brand really do the boardroom and the rooftop terrace?
Pedrali is one of the few that genuinely can, because it began outdoors in 1963 and grew into a full contract specialist. It serves four worlds — hospitality, outdoor, residential, workspace — with materials chosen per use: weather-ready polypropylene and aluminium outside, wood and upholstery inside, all made in Italy. The terrace and the meeting room end up in one design language. La Mercanti composes the mix and coordinates it with the office furniture.
What holds up on an American rooftop — sun, rain, wind?
The outdoor collections are engineered for exposure: UV-stable materials, stackable frames for storms and storage, contract-grade construction from a company whose first products in 1963 were outdoor seats. That heritage is the reason a Pedrali chair can stay out through the season and still read as design.
Bringing Pedrali into a workplace project: five steps with La Mercanti
For architects, workplace teams and facilities: how to choose contract and outdoor seating per zone — from exposure to upholstery.
Map the zones, indoor and out
Reception, meeting rooms, lounge, café, rooftop, terrace: list traffic and exposure first. Pedrali covers indoor and outdoor with the same design language, so you plan one project, not two.
Assign the collection by duty and weather
Exposed exterior, intensive indoor, long meeting sitting: choose the right Pedrali family per zone. Outdoor lines are UV-stable and stackable; indoor lines carry the warmth. One maker, matched across the floor.
Choose material and structure
Polypropylene and aluminium for weather and traffic, wood for warmth, upholstery for the lounge, stacking where storage matters: function before aesthetics.
Coordinate seating with furniture
With La Mercanti the seating joins the same schedule as the furniture — finishes aligned from the drawing on.
Request samples, upholstery and documentation
Outdoor needs UV and weather data; indoor needs upholstery and acoustics: judge samples under real light.
