Outdoor design for a café, restaurant terrace, garden of a restaurant represent the showcase of the contract sector. In fact, it takes just a quick look to capture the interest and admiration of customers and guests, provided that you know how to highlight the potential of each environment in the right way. Not only in the summer when people spend more time outdoors, but during every season since care, cleanliness, aesthetics and functionality are not temporary needs but rather keys to success all year round.

Corradi will be Main Sponsor of the Bologna Design Week 2018, the event placing the Design at the heart of the city. You can meet us in the courtyard of Palazzo Isolani, headquarter of the 2018 edition, with 4 Defense  sun sails, molding the outdoor of the elegant 18^th century location for the whole week and during the “Design Night”, planned for Wednesday, September 26^th. 

Every year between the end of August and the beginning of September Venice becomes the cinema capital of the world, hosting the International Film Festival on the Lungomare Marconi del Lido, this year celebrating its 75th edition.

An artistic and cultural event followed worldwide that once again this year will see the involvement of Corradi, with our Defense and Bioclimatics Maestro sun sails in the outdoor spaces of the historic Grande Albergo Ausonia & Hungaria and the panoramic Terrazza Mediterranea, locations where you can find us until 8 September.

Since we are great movie buffs, we want to recommend 5 end-of-summer films to watch under your Pergotenda®, to spend these first September days with friends and family.

Making outdoor spaces accessible throughout the year and flooding the rooms of your house with natural light are factors of great importance for transforming every minute spent in your home into moments of pleasure and well-being. Whether you have a spacious house with a garden or a top floor apartment, the best solution to achieve a total connection with the surrounding world is to install sliding glass doors for outdoors. 

The Venice International Film Festival is one of the most important events in the Italian cinema world and beyond. During the 75^th edition - from August 29^th to September 8^th - the Venetian streets come alive with celebrities and silver screen stars, guests of the Festival that, since 1895, rewards the greatest talents with the iconic Golden Lion prize.
An important cultural event in a very suggestive scenario: this is the Venice Film Festival, to which Corradi takes part 

Your home is your private space, where every room should reflect your tastes and personality, allowing you to fully enjoy every environment alone or sharing it with family and friends.

So comfort and togetherness above all: two concepts that are very dear to the Scandinavians who have been able to transform enjoyment of small daily pleasures into a real lifestyle, a philosophy so important for them that it finds its full expression in the word "hygge", an ancient Danish word that literally means "feeling satisfied", but that in reality expresses much more. Hygge means being together in an intimate and welcoming atmosphere, setting aside problems and maintaining a positive attitude. Hygge is a relaxing dinner with your loved ones, welcoming friends to the house, sipping a tea in front of the crackling fireplace or a beautiful view.

An approach to life that is also reflected in furnishing, breathing life into a real Hygge Style. So let's see what the characteristics of this Scandinavian furnishing style are and how to implement it at home.

Summer offers the chance to fully enjoy the beauty of the season, spending pleasant moments immersed in nature. If you have a garden, the best choice is to equip it with a gazebo or a pergola that lets you create an open-air living space, an area connecting your home with the outdoors. Indeed, back in ancient Rome where the art of gardening was widespread, it was customary to wrap fruit trees with ivy and vines that when connected with other trees formed evocative pergolas. So once you've chosen, the most suitable structure for your needs from among the outdoor covers, why not make it more dynamic and appealing by decorating it with climbing plants for gazebos?

Those who live in cities or on the upper floors of a building often don't have the opportunity to enjoy the comfort of a garden and live moments of relaxation outside their home. For this reason, if you have a balcony or a terrace, it's very important to be able to make the most of it, not only during the summer but also in winter. Verandas for balconies that completely or partially close the terrace allow you to better connect the balcony to the rest of the house, creating an environment that can be enjoyed at any time of day. Depending on the size of the balcony and your needs, the veranda can be used as a living area furnished with sofas and armchairs, or it can be transformed into a charming dining room with a panoramic view. Or the veranda can be a corner for studying, a fitness area, or more simply become a small greenhouse where you can take care of flowers and plants sheltered from the elements.
