2024 marks a special anniversary for Pedrali: ten years of the Parenthesis collection, designed by Claudio Dondoli and Marco Pocci. The collection, first presented in 2014 at Salone del Mobile.Milano, already from its name reveals the inspiration that guided its creation – enclosed within brackets, these two geometric elements take center stage while defining the structure.
Coffee table, bedside table, container or convenient top: Parenthesis collection has always stood out for its versatile nature, capable of adapting to different contexts, from hospitality to workspace, to residentials, following a contemporary yet playful style.
The two parentheses, made of oak veneered plywood, embrace one or more tops, shaping various configurations. Smoother materials such as solid laminate, marble or Fenix have been chosen for the tops, allowing easy maintenance. For the two brackets, a more natural surface was selected to enhance the tactile experience.
The four versions – round or oval coffee table with one top and bedside table with two tops at two different heights – are available in various finishes and colour combinations, giving character to the environments in which they are placed.
Thanks to its versatile yet refined style, Parenthesis collection has been selected for many different projects. An example is Copernico in Milan, a workspace located a few steps from the Central Station, housing innovative spaces dedicated to coworking for startups and freelance professionals, meeting rooms, event venues, dining areas and large common spaces. Parenthesis coffee tables are also featured in the common areas of a workspace in Dubai Internet City, the main innovation and technology hub in the region, and within the Abu Dhabi Government Media Office. Furthermore, they can be found in the indoor spaces of MiM hotel in Mallorca and the Origin Kensington restaurant in London.
