Nardi — Italian outdoor furniture for restaurants, hotels and commercial spaces

Founded in 1990 in Chiampo, in the province of Vicenza, Nardi has grown over more than three decades into one of Italy’s best-known outdoor furniture brands for the hospitality sector. The company is present in more than 130 countries, with its products used in restaurants, hotels, resorts and public spaces around the world.

Nardi chairs, armchairs, tables, sun loungers and modular systems are designed for restaurant terraces, café patios, pool areas and hotel lounge spaces. Combining contemporary design, low weight and resistance to outdoor conditions, the collections are suitable for both residential and contract projects.

Brand history: Italian values on a global scale

Nardi is headquartered in Chiampo, in the province of Vicenza, where its operations include three production facilities, two logistics platforms and warehousing facilities. The entire production cycle, from product development to packaging, takes place exclusively in Italy.

For Nardi, Made in Italy is more than a statement of origin. It represents a commitment to developing high-quality, durable and visually distinctive products designed to improve the everyday experience of the spaces in which they are used.

Design and collaboration: working with Raffaello Galiotto

Nardi’s long-standing partnership with designer Raffaello Galiotto has played an important role in the development of the brand. Spanning more than 30 years, this collaboration enables every aspect of a project to be carefully developed, from the initial concept through to the final moulding of the product.

This approach has earned Nardi products prestigious international recognition, including the Red Dot Design Award, ADI Design Index, Good Design Award and Green Good Design Award.

The Doga collection of restaurant chairs combines a lightweight, ergonomic construction in fibreglass resin with a contemporary slatted design, making it particularly suitable for patios, terraces and other outdoor dining areas.

Cassia outdoor chairs are available in eight colours, including versions made from recycled resin, and work equally well in bars, bistros and restaurants.

The Net Lounge armchair features a flowing profile and a one-piece fibreglass-reinforced polypropylene construction, while Omega and Atlantico poolside sun loungers are designed to retain their shape and colour across a wide range of climatic conditions.

The Maximo modular system of outdoor sofas, featuring structures made from regenerated resin and cushions upholstered in fabrics with a high recycled-fibre content, can be configured to create complete lounge areas around pools or on restaurant and hotel terraces.

Materials: durability, lightness and safety

Polypropylene, aluminium and post-consumer plastics are among Nardi’s principal materials, selected for their recyclability, low weight and resistance to outdoor conditions. These characteristics make the furniture practical for intensive use, particularly in professional restaurant and café furniture projects and outdoor dining areas.

The range includes modular, stackable and extendable solutions, making it easier to adapt furniture layouts to different spaces and seasonal configurations.

Regeneration programme: a responsible choice for commercial projects

Since 2019, Nardi has operated its Regeneration programme, an industrial process designed to create a complete cycle for plastic recycling. End-of-life furniture is collected, processed into granules and reused in the manufacture of new products.

Since January 2023, all Nardi production facilities have operated exclusively using electricity from certified renewable sources. This approach makes the brand particularly relevant to projects where sustainability, product lifespan and reduced environmental impact are important considerations.

The Sipario partition system, made from regenerated plastic and incorporating self-watering planters, provides a flexible way to divide outdoor terraces without construction work. Its modules can be assembled without tools and easily reconfigured as the requirements of a venue change.
