Foppapedretti Italian Folding Ironing Station Ironing Board

We know that ironing isn’t the most glamorous or elegant of ways to spend your time, but there are ironing boards and ironing boards, and this Foppapedretti Italian Folding Ironing Station, with its Italian-designed elegance and host of helpful features, adds a whole lot of pretty alongside the practical.

Italian Elegance

Beautifully crafted in Italy from golden-hued beechwood and anodised aluminium, with a gorgeous green cover featuring a decorative tree motif, its sleek design is testament to the Italian passion for the ‘bella figura’, but it’s far from being a case of form over function.

Versatile

Offering lots more features and functionality than a standard ironing board, it’s been carefully designed to make the ironing mountain more manageable. Strong but incredibly lightweight, it’s easy to handle despite its size – there’s no wrestling with heavy cast iron here. The legs fold out and the table locks securely in place, providing a large, stable surface for all your ironing and pressing needs. There’s a generously sized iron rest that comfortably holds any standard steam iron, and if you use a steam generator, it can accommodate that too – in fact any iron up to 5kg in weight.

Steam and Stash

To help you stay on top of the heap, there’s a clever cotton ‘hammock’ at the bottom to hold whatever you’re ironing. Wide and deep enough to easily hold two piles, it means you can keep both your still-wrinkled and perfectly pressed piles separated and within easy reach.

Easy to Store

When its work is done, it folds down to just 15cm deep, making it really easy to store – just rest against a wall or slot into a narrow gap.

Other Features

• Easy self-assembly – full instructions included.
• Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
• Beechwood is FSC certified.

About Foppapedretti

Italian company Foppapedretti’s philosophy is simple: ‘If it’s useful, it’s Foppapedretti.’ Born from the passion for wood of its founder, Ezio Foppa Pedretti, and starting as a wooden toymaker in the 1940s, they’ve since diversified into a range of practical household products from ironing boards to airers, high chairs to clothes rails, all beautifully crafted using solid wood, built to last, and designed to make daily life simpler.
