Foppapedretti
Salone del Mobile
Foppapedretti is back to Salone del Mobile fair in Milan with a new eco-friendly outdoor collection, a household line dedicated to remote working and new designs for early childhood
A high-profile return to the international and prestigious Salone del Mobile fair in Milan for Foppapedretti, which during this sixtieth edition presents new products in all three sectors that have distinguished the Bergamo-based company for over 75 years.
Company philosophy
A great comeback to the outdoor furniture sector, then a collection dedicated to remote working to expand the household line and the new interpretation of some iconic products for hanging and ironing, together with some design articles inspired by Montessori method for the collection dedicated to early childhood. All-round new products that share an essential design concept: eco-sustainability. All the new items presented at Salone fair are in fact made with FSC certified wood, coming from protected and certified forests. A philosophy of environmental respect that has applied to all Foppapedretti wooden products for several years, but which also extends to the processing phases, which are 100% made in Italy using water-based paints, safe for the environment, for the final customer and also for workers, as well as the use of renewable energy sources and an innovative method to recycle the wood waste.
Outdoor collection
The new outdoor collection, called Il giardino dei vizi continui, marks the return of Foppapedretti in this sector: an innovative and very high quality project to be distributed through specialized furniture stores. A renewal of the long company tradition in the production of outdoor furniture, that started in the 50s with folding picnic tables, then evolving from the 80s with the iconic collections of white lacquered garden furniture and later on with those made of refined iroko wood.

Tavolo Diamante
The collection Il giardino dei vizi continui is made up of 12 items, complementary to each other to create environments dedicated to relaxation to be adapted to different needs. There are three rectangular tables with 4, 6 or 8 seats (called respectively Zaffiro, Rubino and Smeraldo) and an octagonal table with 8 seats called Diamante: all of them are made of ash wood with a polished aluminum frame and wooden legs that can be removed to be stored in a small place. You can choose between two types of seats to match the tables, both light and sturdy and equipped with comfortable removable cushions fixed to the seat: the ash wood chair Gemma or the armchair Ambra with armrests. The table set is completed by the Turchese trolley, with two solid and wide shelves, a food rack in chromed metal and 4 rubber wheels for easy movement.
Household collection
The new line, called APRIeCHIUDI, completes the household collection by Foppapedretti, that since the 80s has earned the trust of millions of Italian families with iconic pieces, that are now replicated with a revisited design. The ironing board Hotutto and the clothes rack Big feature more rounded and modern lines, together with three extensible and foldable indoor tables, as well as three models of folding chairs, new models of stools and functional clothes racks that take up little space.

Foppapedretti environmental commitment is not limited to wood. In fact, in its factories, Foppapedretti uses non-toxic water-based paints. A rather costly choice which, however, drastically reduces hazardous emissions, provides a safe working environment for the employees, non-toxic products for the customers and the recovery and reintegration of paint residue.
Moreover, the air inside the plants is constantly being filtered to remove dust particles and then put back in circulation again. Lastly, all the wood waste, chips, shavings and sawdust are recovered, crushed and, after a very elaborate process, reused as fuel to heat the factories and offices and run some of the production facilities.
