pedrali has opened ‘fili d’erba’, an automated warehouse in northern italy designed by architect cino zucchi. alluding to its agricultural context, the building’s name translates as ‘blades of grass’, a motif referenced on the warehouse’s façades. extruded aluminum profiles generate a visual pattern formed by a combination of vertical and oblique lines. like gigantic blades of grass, this gesture gives rhythm, scale, and measure to the otherwise plain surfaces.
located in the province of bergamo, cino zucchi architetti’s design for furniture brand pedrali measures 29 meters in height, covering a total area of 7,000 square meters. the complex is connected by a skytrain and eight self-steering shuttles that link to the existing industrial spaces. the facility, which is in use 24 hours a day, is capable of storing 16,880 pallets of semi-finished and complete products
the dull and uniform volume of new warehouse is thus transformed into a visual phenomenon rich in variations, a kind of natural ‘amplifier’ of the time of the day and the seasons,’ explains architect cino zucchi. ‘in certain moments it dissolves into the misty sky, reflecting its grey-blue tones, and in others it becomes imbued with the bright green of the agricultural fields in spring
