Nardi was founded in 1990 by the Nardi family in Chiampo in the province of Vicenza. It specialises in high-quality, high-design outdoor resin furniture for the residential and hospitality sectors. Every product is designed for well-being and relaxation, made in a totally Made-in-Italy and environmentally friendly production chain. Resistant and long-lasting, Nardi products are made from polypropylene fibreglass, a completely recyclable, non-toxic and antistatic synthetic resin. The material responds perfectly to the need to make outdoor products of the highest quality that last over time and are practical for maintenance and storage. The constant pursuit of new solutions and experimentation with new materials drove the company to offer polypropylene in combination with aluminium, technical fabrics, glass and a wide range of upholstery options. The products are manufactured entirely in Chiampo (VI), the company's headquarters, in three factories designed with state-of-the-art technologies, energy-saving presses, automated systems, and systems for re-using production waste and photovoltaic panels for energy production. Nardi's focus on creating high-added-value, environmentally sustainable products is expressed in its commitment to implement actions that improve its environmental performance thanks to the LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) analyses of its latest products. In addition, in 2019, the company launched the Regeneration industrial programme to manufacture recycled plastic products, some of which were recognised with the Green Good Design award in 2020 and 2021, a prestigious international prize that identifies important examples of sustainable design. The catalogue of recycled plastic products introduces exciting collections to the market every year. In addition to materials, Nardi pays particular attention to the functionality of every product. Nardi furniture is modular, extendable, stackable, easy to sanitise and requires minimal maintenance. The company's third pillar is design. All Nardi products are designed by Raffaello Galiotto, a multifaceted and successful designer who explores the potential of every material. This collaboration has brought the company numerous prestigious international awards every year, including the Adi Design Index, the Red Dot Design Award, the German Design Award, the Good Design Award and the Green Good Design Award.
Nardi, outdoor furniture for the contract sector
Net is the prime outdoor furniture collection for the contract sector. It includes a complete seating series (seat, relaxing armchair, two-seater bench, coffee table and stool) that has collected numerous design awards. The Net garden seat, and in general the entire collection, is made with an innovative 3D mould modelling process, made even more complex by thousands of holes in the shell. Made of fibreglass polypropylene in a one-piece mould, the surface is pleasant to the touch, and the slightly curved form makes it truly comfortable. The armchair is also available in the more generously sized Net Relax version with soft upholstery in different colours and fabrics. The Net coffee table and Net Bench complete the collection; they are available in white, anthracite, mustard, coral, willow and dove grey. The Atlantico garden lounger is perfect for the poolside or beach. Its sleek and elegant design, rounded shapes, 4-position reclining backrest and breathable synthetic fabric make it ideal for quality relaxation. Its frame and upholstery are available in numerous colours and easy to handle and stack. Among the bar and restaurant tables and coffee tables are the Clip and Clipx square tables with 4-spoke legs in different colours and adjustable feet. The Frasca contract table base is innovative and exceptionally functional, with a central 4-foot leg in painted aluminium. It takes up little space, is available in different versions (for tops of various sizes, tilting and non-tilting, low or high table versions) and mounts round and square laminate tops in many catalogue colours. Among the latest collections, Sipario is a popular modular partition system with an outdoor planter in recycled plastic. Flexible and easy to assemble-dismantle, it allows linear, broken, curved and closed shapes - and the modules can be mounted up to 2 metres in height.
Nardi for the home: practical, resistant, high-design and fully recyclable furniture
The Nardi catalogue offers outdoor furniture for home use. The award-winning Komodo collection is a modular upholstered seating system that can be assembled as desired. The rounded design features a 4-leg base to which the backrest and armrests are attached. With a design inspired by tree branches, the system consists of modules that can be linked to form seating ranging from a single armchair to linear or corner sofas. The pouf is a flexible element that can also be used alone. Komodo is available in four colours - white, anthracite, dove grey and agave - and is equipped with removable seat and back cushions to stack the modules efficiently. Completing the collection is the new Komodo Ombra enclosure, available in a two or 3-seater version, for enjoying the pleasure of open space protected from the sun. The queen of relaxation is Folio, a stylish and enveloping outdoor armchair available on a fixed base or in the romantic rocking version. Pure form and a unique shell exploit the elasticity of resin; Folio features soft, snug-fitting internal cushions and the Poggio footrest. Another Nardi best seller is the extendable RIO table, with a slatted top in UV-treated and mass-coloured DurelTOP resin or aluminium with an aluminium frame. The result is a table with clean and rigorous architectural lines and an easy and invisible movement system that allows the structure to slide, maintaining the legs at the ends of the table to seat up to 10 people comfortably. Also available is the new fixed version of the Rio Alu Fix aluminium table, in combination with the Rio Bench Alu. Various seating collections like Trill and Doga can be combined with the table. Trill has a harmoniously sculptural appearance, reproducing a timeless design; it features unexpected rounded linking solutions. It is light, practical and, like all of Nardi's collections, places great emphasis on ergonomics and user well-being. Doga is a fresh and light collection composed of seats with and without armrests, a lounge chair and a single block table in fibreglass resin inspired by the stave revisited in a contemporary key. Characterised by an open design, a play of solids and voids marked by a sequence of horizontal staves, the table required an in-depth study of colours. Doga introduced a range of unprecedented shades like marsala, cappuccino and greens like agave, mint and pear, opening new scenarios that can be combined according to their context. All Nardi chairs are manageable, stackable, easily sanitised and completely recyclable.
Nardi Showroom Milano
On 5 February, Nardi inaugurated its first showroom in Milan. Located in the Brera district, in Via Pontaccio 19, this exclusive venue, mainly dedicated to the professional sector, is part of the company’s brand development and recognition strategy. Three iconic arched windows, three ways of experiencing open-air life according to Nardi’s outdoor lifestyle, are the first visual impression of the new showroom in Milan. Each window tells a story based on new products from furniture collections for outdoor use by Nardi: ideas for gardens, terraces and balconies, for relaxation, convivial moments and authentic Italian style. Nardi Showroom Milano is a real touch point, where professionals can personally see and touch products: original designer furniture made of fully recyclable materials such as polypropylene, aluminium and post-consumer plastic, created to ensure the utmost comfort and relaxation outdoors.
