Corradi

What Corradi does

Corradi S.r.l. is an Italian manufacturer of premium outdoor shading and living solutions, founded in 1978 and headquartered in Castel Maggiore (Bologna), Italy, operating as a subsidiary of Belgium-headquartered Renson Group. The company designs and produces custom-made outdoor furnishings across three core product categories: retractable fabric cover systems (the patented Pergotenda® with accordion-style folding mechanism and the patented Butterfly with a pantograph system that delivers approximately 40% more usable space than traditional fabric pergolas), bioclimatic pergolas with adjustable rotating blades (Bioclimatics / Imago®), and nautical-derived sun sails. These are extended by a modular accessories line including vertical screen systems (Magiko B, Brio S, Ermetika® XL), tempered-glass sliding walls (MyGlass), design sun louvers (The Materics/Aura), and integrated LED lighting (Verlichting), plus specialized variants such as Maestrale (wind-resistant), Scirocco (hot-climate), Impact® (impact-resistant), and B-Space (modular).

Corradi sells exclusively through an authorized dealer network organized into Master Dealers (highest tier with exclusive brand representation and full technical training) and Affiliated Dealers (authorized resellers), with no direct online transactional commerce; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The customer base spans three primary segments: residential homeowners seeking year-round outdoor living solutions, Ho.Re.Ca./hospitality businesses (hotels, restaurants, cafes) needing commercial-grade outdoor installations, and architects/designers specifying premium products for projects. Named case studies include Nhero Milano, Hotel Splendide Royal Lugano, Hotel & Ristorante Villa Sant'Angelo, and individual architectural projects by Mauro Zucchetti and Matteo Scudiero. The company maintains a six-language European web presence (Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch) and operates in Italy, Netherlands, Germany, France, and Spain, with share capital of €11.5M, GDPR-compliant data processing, and a 2025 product launch (Alba Butterfly) extending the Butterfly line.

Core offering

Corradi designs and manufactures custom-made outdoor living solutions, centered on the patented Pergotenda® retractable canvas canopy, the Butterfly pantograph cover system, bioclimatic pergolas with adjustable lamellas, and nautical-derived sun sails. The portfolio is complemented by closure and accessory systems (vertical screens, sliding glass walls, design louvers, integrated LED lighting) in aluminum or wood, tailored to client specifications for residential terraces and gardens and for hospitality and contract outdoor spaces. Products are sold as engineered, made-to-measure installations via an authorized dealer network, not as off-the-shelf commodity items.
