Pedrali — solid wood from the Italian chair district, engineered for the contract floor

Boardroom in India with Pedrali solid-wood design chairs and table

There is a corner of Italy near Manzano that has made chairs for generations — the "chair district". That is where Pedrali runs its 20,000 m² wood division, turning solid oak and beech into seating with the patience of a craft town and the discipline of a contract manufacturer. Elsewhere the company works metal, polypropylene and upholstery; together they make chairs, armchairs, stools, benches and tables for offices, hospitality and outdoor. The wood chair Frida, by Odo Fioravanti, won a Compasso d'Oro — proof that the craft and the industry meet. All 100% made in Italy.

For a corporate floor it means real warmth where it counts: solid-wood seating for the boardroom and the MD cabin, durable lines for the reception, the waiting area and the café, weather-ready pieces for the outdoor arrival — one Italian maker across every zone.

For Indian projects, La Mercanti selects from the Manzano wood collections on physical samples, then configures the order from the official price lists.

FAQ

What does the Manzano wood division actually change for a project?

It means the solid-wood chairs in your boardroom are made in Italy's historic chair district, not sourced anonymously — worked with the know-how of a craft town and the quality control of a contract manufacturer. That is why a Pedrali wood chair like Frida can win a Compasso d'Oro and still take daily corporate use. La Mercanti selects the right wood family for the cabins and coordinates it with the furniture.

Can Pedrali cover a whole floor, cabins to outdoor?

Yes: beyond wood, Pedrali works metal, polypropylene and upholstery across four worlds — hospitality, outdoor, residential, workspace. So the MD cabin, the waiting area, the café and the outdoor arrival share one design language while each zone gets the right duty and material.

Bringing Pedrali into a corporate project: five steps with La Mercanti

For architects, PMC teams and admin heads: how to choose contract seating per zone — from material to upholstery.

Map the zones and their material

Boardroom and MD cabin ask for wood warmth; reception, waiting and café for durable lines; outdoor for weather-ready frames. List the zones, then match the material.

Assign the collection by duty class

Solid wood for the cabins, polypropylene and metal for traffic and outdoor: choose the right Pedrali family per zone. One Italian maker keeps the floor coherent, cabin after cabin.

Choose structure and finish

Solid oak or beech for warmth, aluminium and PP for weather and stacking, upholstery for the lounge: function decides 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

Wood grain and upholstery must be seen under real light; outdoor needs weather data.
