Mandelli Pagliarulo

The Italian design duo Simone Mandelli and Antonio Pagliarulo have been bound by a strong friendship and a shared vision ever since their studies at the prestigious Politecnico di Milano. After experimenting in various industries, they settled into the world of furniture and interior design. They decided to devote their energy to designing what they themselves consider the perfect catalyst for social interaction—chairs and armchairs. They liken the entire creative process to the work of a film director who coordinates a team of professionals to collectively breathe life into an object that previously existed only in their imaginations. Through drawings, collages, and prototypes, they bring together artisans, craftsmen, and manufacturers. Their long-standing collaboration with the renowned Italian brand Pedrali, for which they have designed several iconic collections, has achieved significant global success.
