Pedrali at NeoCon 2026: Redefining the Future of Work

festival-fair · 2026-06-10

Italian furniture company Pedrali returns to NeoCon 2026 for its seventh participation, transforming its 300-square-meter showroom at The Mart in Chicago into an immersive laboratory exploring the future of workspaces. The fair runs June 8–10 under the theme 'Where Design Connects.' Pedrali presents new collections including Libre by Eugeni Quitllet, made with recycled polypropylene for indoor and outdoor use, and Lamorisse Lounge by Cazzaniga Mandelli Pagliarulo, featuring a wooden structure and enveloping cushion. Other highlights include Buddyhub and Buddyhub Desk modular systems, Polar and Temps ergonomic chairs by Jorge Pensi Design Studio, and outdoor collections Panarea and Philía (including Philía Mesh debuting at Salone del Mobile.Milano 2026). The showroom is organized as a sequence of environments—reception, lounges, collaborative spaces, focus areas, cafeterias—reflecting trends like smart technology integration, sustainable materials, biophilic design, and outdoor workspaces. Pedrali emphasizes conviviality and human-centric design, with pieces by Patrick Jouin, Sebastian Herkner, Claudio Bellini, and Robin Rizzini. The installation coincides with Outdoor Office Day on June 11.
