A transparent back over a soft seat

Polycarbonate keeps the back visually open in a room full of chairs while the seat gets real upholstery — an unusual split that is the whole point of the construction technique Sadler developed for it.

Made at Mornico al Serio

Pedrali has made furniture in Bergamo since 1963 and now runs two Italian plants — Mornico al Serio for metal and upholstery and Manzano, in the Friuli chair district, for solid wood. Moulding, welding, powder coating, upholstery and assembly are all done in-house, which is why the range can be specified finish by finish rather than shipped from stock.
