The Office 2.0 by Pedrali
Posted in: promotionsDezeen promotion: Italian brand Pedrali has released a colourful furniture collection for use in all areas of the workplace.
The Office 2.0 comprises chairs, armchairs, modular seating, tables and stools designed in response to today’s more open and flexible office layouts.
The simple shapes and colourful upholstery of the furniture allow it to look as appropriate in work stations as it does in meeting rooms and reception areas.
Some pieces were designed by Pedrali’s in-house team, while other items are the work of Italy-based designers Marc Sadler, Claudio Dondoli and Marco Pocci, Alessandro Busana and Cazzaniga-Mandelli-Pagliarulo.
A few of the designs have been used to furnish the Google Campus in Ireland by Swiss architecture studio Camenzind Evolution and Dublin studio Henry J Lyons Architects.

The massive changes occurring in workplaces, driven by technological progress, have profoundly influenced the design of contemporary offices.
Thanks to the introduction of new devices for mobile communication the employees do not have to be physically present in the office. They have to be available 24/7 but they are not bound to their desks as they live the work environments in a more dynamic way.
Based on an extensive analysis of these changes, Pedrali has come up with a wide range of new fittings that are able to respond to the new and emerging demands of the second generation office: chairs, armchairs, modular seating, tables and stools for reception areas and conference rooms, open areas for meetings and rapid exchanges of information, furniture for break out areas and canteens.
A clean and bright coloured collection that has been also selected to furnish some areas of the Google Campus in Ireland, designed by the Swiss architecture studio Camenzind Evolution in collaboration with local firm Henry J. Lyons Architects.

Malmö by Cazzaniga-Mandelli-Pagliarulo
A collection of ash wood furniture born from an imaginary journey along the sides of a Scandinavian lake. When, in 2012, the chair, the armchair and the table have been presented, immediately garnered the interest of the market. Both the chair and armchair have ash timber frame in bleached or black stained finish; multilayer, fabric or leather upholstered shell. Malmö extendable table has ash wooden legs matched with solid laminate or ash veneered table top.
The armchair also won two international awards: the Good Design Awards, the prestigious award sponsored by the Museum of Architecture and Design “Chicago Athenaeum” and the Red Dot Design Award 2013.
For the Salone del Mobile 2013 the Malmö family expanded to new contexts entering in lounge environments, waiting areas and cafes. The collection has been enriched with a lounge armchair, the coffee tables and the barstools, all made of solid ash frame with tapered legs. The result is a unique Scandinavian taste of exceptional lightness.
