pedrali is an italian company producing contemporary furniture for public spaces, offices and homes

 

 

 

the furniture pieces have been placed in a succession of display units shaped like houses. elevated at different levels to form a skyline, the artificial landscape is illuminated by accents of light. the stands wrap around a central area with seating. visitors are led through the different spaces of rest, viewing and enjoyment of the furniture and ultimately, the space opens up to a lounge area used for hosting client meetings and hospitality events.
