In the ever-evolving world of design, there exists a place where artistry meets functionality, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and where outdoor spaces are transformed into sanctuaries of luxury and elegance. This place is none other than Tidelli, the Brazilian furniture brand that has been creating a buzz amongst living-space-designers, architects, and art collectors. With over three decades of experience in crafting outdoor masterpieces, Tidelli is ready to make its mark on the American market, and it’s doing so in a truly remarkable way.

A Legacy of Innovation
Founded in 1989 by Tatiana Mandelli, Tidelli has been a mainstay in the Brazilian market, revolutionizing outdoor living with its colorful and contemporary designs. Tatiana, who worked and learned from her mother who is in landscape design, saw an opportunity to bridge the gap between comfort, quality, and design aesthetic in the world of outdoor furniture. She founded Tidelli with a vision to create unique pieces without compromising comfort and utility; but also, to give back to her country through job creation and sustainability initiatives.

“ I wanted to not only create better, more beautiful pieces that were of higher quality, but
also give back to my country by way of job creation and the sustainability and philanthropy initiatives we have ingrained into our company ethos.”

Tidelli’s commitment to sustainability goes beyond mere words. All their pieces are handcrafted in their own factory in Salvador, Bahia, strategically located in an area of low-income communities to generate job opportunities for the locals. Today, Tidelli employs 500 people on-site, and through their nonprofit organization, the Tidelli Institute, they are not only teaching valuable skills but also nurturing entrepreneurship within their community. It’s a true embodiment of giving people the tools to succeed rather than just handouts.
Customization Meets Artistry
What sets Tidelli apart is their unwavering commitment to customization. With over 50 aluminum frame colors, 70 rope pattern variations, and hundreds of fabric options, every Tidelli piece can be specially tailored to meet the desires and personalities of its owners. While other manufacturers might use standard rope for their creations, Tidelli crafts their own, with the capacity to blend up to 16 base colors, allowing for unparalleled creative freedom and quality.
The Artists of Tidelli
One of the most exciting aspects of Tidelli’s journey is their collaborations with world-renowned artists. Their partnerships have resulted in collections that are nothing short of spectacular.
