Milan is a lively city, always on the move, a world landmark for trends and innovations: a city that never stops, just out of a hectic Design Week, kicked off the fuorisalone of taste this week.

Until May, 13^rd, Milan Food Week and Milan Food City are lighting up the Italian metropolis again, with a tasty program: at Palazzo Bovara, two Pergotenda^® Millenium^® Celeb recreate the ideal outdoor space for show-cooking, samplings and food talks organized by Confcommercio Milan.

The "Corradi Days" are back: it’s the event organized in Germany and Austria that keeps on gaining success year after year.

13 Master Dealers involved for an Open Day (on May, 26^th), to know all the Corradi news - such as Pergotenda^® Millenium^® Celeb - and to discover the dedicated promotions on lights, bicolor and vertical closures, valid until June, 2^nd .

Like every year, in April Milan becomes the undisputed star of one of the most important events related to the world of design and architecture at international level.

The Salone del Mobile and the Fuorisalone 2018, from 17^th to 22^nd April, have in fact animated the Milan Design Week, enhancing, once again, the central role of the city on topics such as the culture of design and the importance of the Made in Italy worldwide.

Whether it's a garden, a private courtyard or a café or restaurant terrace, your outdoor space deserves to be enhanced with covers for exteriors that are able to make the most of their distinctive traits, in harmony with the surrounding environment. There are many advantages: while on the one hand - especially in the residential sector - pergolas and canopies shape a portion of the external environment to protect people from the sun and weather and to allow them to spend more months of the year outdoors, in the commercial sector outdoor furnishings for cafés or the pergola of a restaurant have the added benefit of adding useful space. 

We have just been through what is probably one of the most severe winters of recent years. Now that Burian, the snow and the Siberian temperatures are just an icy memory, we can finally welcome the coming of spring. And what better way than to plan how to furnish a garden in spring?

Here are some tips, with the trends of 2018.

Once again Corradi is heavily involved in Milano Design Week: six days during which the Milanese metropolis is preparing itself to be the undisputed centre of all the events connected to the world of architecture and design, and which after its success year after year has become the protagonist of a much broader project.

As part of an event that grows out of the main hubs of the city and that provides opportunities for fusion, construction and development of a shared design culture, Corradi will participate in Milano Design Week with five macro events at three different locations.

Today in the world of outdoor furniture the term pergotenda is used in a generic way to identify a type of product consisting in a pergola structure covered by retractable canvas.

However, Pergotenda® is actually the registered trademark of a Corradi patent that created a whole new market. In fact, before its invention there was no product with a mobile stacking cover, so the brand not only comprises the name but also its unique and unrivalled technical specifications.

It’s time to celebrate.

Every anniversary is a special occasion for balances: 40 years have passed since the foundation of our company in Bologna, a workshop for the production of awnings at that time. Moreover, 20 years already since the Pergotenda^® patent, which marked a decisive turning point in sun protection, effectively opening a new market and making Corradi a benchmark in the sector.
