Practical, FICB-certified family table football, Gray - FAS

Sensual design combined with the highest quality materials creates the hallmark of FAS Pendezza, a company that for generations has been designing and manufacturing elegant foosball tables and other leisure game products. Strong tradition, exceptionally durable materials, and extraordinary design set Fas products apart from others of their kind. This is a tribute to true craftsmanship, the hallmark of Made in Italy, and a passion that shows how one can approach sports in the comfort of home or office differently.

HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE BERGAMO

FAS Pendezza Srl was founded in 1964 in Villa d'Ogna in Val Seriana, driven by the great intuition of Alfonso Pendezza and his brother Davide: to create entertainment tools for adults and children, made from the highest quality raw materials and crafted by the best artisans following Bergamo’s tradition. Thus, the FAS foosball tables, ping pong and billiard tables, icons of elegance and quality, were born. FAS Pendezza products, appreciated as Italian craftsmanship excellence, have gained and solidified recognition both domestically and internationally over the years. International recognition has been built over time, mainly through top quality and luxurious design.

Basaglia + Rota Nodari – who are behind the designs?

“If there is no interlocutor, there is no design, only artistic and creative craftsmanship. The true strength of a designer is understanding the brand they work with and expressing their creativity within that context. Creativity arises from opportunity. Not the other way around. Otherwise, it’s not a project, but creativity tout court, which appears spontaneously in everyone.

Architects and designers Alberto Basaglia and Natalia Rota Nodari entered the architectural scene in 1997, founding Studio Associato bearing their names. With their first project, the "Antennati" collection under the YDF brand, they won the Young & Design competition in 1999, happily recognizing their strong ability to understand the potential of the client’s brand and interpret its features in the product. There are many forms of collaboration, many completed projects—from environmental and industrial archaeology buildings to creating spaces for exhibitions, and even ventures into food design. They are recipients of the Good Design Award in 2007 for the Boox modular bookshelf system, produced by Rexite, and have achieved excellent results in many other fields of architecture and furniture design. “Capturing the specific energies of the interlocutor and finding ways to enhance them through creating alternative visions, often complementing what already exists, is a challenge that excites us.”

... they said about themselves in 2013 during the opening of their personal exhibition “Alternative Synergies. 15 Years of Corporate Projects,” held at the Achille Castiglioni Foundation in Milan. Convinced that the best design arises from close collaboration with the client, understanding production realities that must be incorporated into the product, Alberto Basaglia and Natalia Rota Nodari often collaborated with companies on individual products, ultimately managing the entire image. In 2016, the S'mesh seating family, designed for Diemmebi, was selected by ADI Design Index as a candidate for the “Compasso d'Oro” 2018.

“What is true for design projects also applies to the coordinated branding: brand, graphics, communication vectors, and merchandising. Everything is functional to portraying the essence of the company.”

For Pedrali, they have been designing lighting collections since 2009. The latest, launched in 2019, is Tamara.
