Our pursuit of evolution continues relentlessly, striving for solutions that can embrace the needs of contemporary living, giving shape to spaces that can be enjoyed all year round. This is the vision behind Alba Butterfly, the pergola with a pantograph coverage system created by Corradi: a product that combines technological innovation, design and functionality, redefining the concept of outdoor living. This retractable pergola has won no less than 3 awards in the space of fifteen months, the most recent being the German Innovation Award 2025.

Following on from the journey that began in 2024, Corradi has been exploring colour trends for the outdoors, identifying 3 new shades for its aluminium structures. This year's colour palette draws inspiration from remote landscapes, immersed amid nature, capturing their essence and rendering it in the form of intensive, multifaceted colour finishes. Balcony verandas, Pergotenda®, Butterfly cover pergolas and bioclimatic pergolas: each outdoor solution can provide a unique touch.

As warmer months approach, so grows the desire to spend more time outdoors, taking more of your daily activities out into the garden or onto the terrace. To fully enjoy your outdoor spaces, sheltering from the sun becomes essential. This is where Corradi’s designer sun sails come into play: they’re the perfect solution for shielding your outdoor space from the sun’s rays while also making it more comfortable and elegant.

With fine weather just around the corner, there is great anticipation for outdoor barbecues and poolside birthday parties. These are precisely the occasions in which an outdoor kitchen becomes the focal point of conviviality: have you ever considered placing it under the pergola in the garden or on the terrace? Here are some ideas!

Thanks to enclosed bioclimatic pergolas, the boundary between indoor and outdoor spaces disappears, furnishing a cosy refuge that invites contemplation and relaxation, even in the coldest months. If the idea of living like this, always in contact with nature, appeals to you, read on.

Is it possible to fully experience outdoor spaces even during the winter? Of course it is, if the outdoor structure is designed with the best materials. Indeed: covers and side closures on pergolas not only protect against the weather, but also add value from an aesthetic point of view. So these materials must be chosen carefully. Not sure of how to proceed? Here are some of the best fabrics for outdoor structures.

Gli spazi esterni non sono più solo un’estensione della casa o di un locale, ma veri e propri luoghi da vivere all’insegna del relax e del contatto con la natura. Che si tratti di arredare l’angolo dove sorseggiare un caffè al mattino, condividere una cena tra amici o semplicemente godersi il tramonto, scegliere la giusta struttura per il proprio outdoor è fondamentale per incorniciare tutti questi momenti al meglio.
