Roda: Outdoor Furniture Crafted with Passion and Innovation

For nearly thirty years, Roda has been dedicated to creating outdoor furnishings that blend craftsmanship, quality, and a love for design. Each piece is transformed into a unique creation that harmonizes tradition and modernity. What sets Roda apart in the world of outdoor furniture is the belief that garden pieces should seamlessly integrate into the home environment. As founder Roberto Pompa emphasizes, there should be no boundary between indoors and outdoors. Materials like teak, stone, solid wood, leather, and woven elements come together to create timeless designs for chairs, sofas, tables, and loungers that are built to withstand the elements and enhance any space.

To further explore this concept of continuity between indoor and outdoor, Roda appointed renowned designer Rodolfo Dordoni as its art director. Since 2005, Dordoni has elegantly interpreted this philosophy, particularly through the Network collection, which has evolved with each catalog release. Alongside him, other prominent designers such as Gordon Guillaumier, Maria Gabriella Zecca, and the Lievore Altherr Molina studio contribute their vision, combining Italian lines with international forms for a striking yet understated aesthetic.

Mediterranean Flair in Outdoor Design

The Network collection is a quintessential representation of Roda's style and has become a staple for connoisseurs of outdoor living. For over a decade, its aesthetic has graced gardens and terraces, appealing to those who appreciate beauty. The Network sunbed, designed by Dordoni, features a reclining teak structure that is essential for poolside lounging. Its solid teak construction, elastic straps for exceptional comfort, and outdoor-friendly cushions are harmoniously combined in a clean, elegant design, perfect for relaxation.

Roda aims to design outdoor spaces as inviting as indoor ones, encouraging a lifestyle that embraces spontaneity and enjoyment. By thoughtfully mixing various elements, the brand achieves a sophisticated yet practical approach to furniture design.

Each collection from Roda embodies a refined Mediterranean taste, blending seamlessly with its surroundings to create a sense of harmony and identity. The PIPER collection, launched at the Salone del Mobile in 2017 and designed by Dordoni, features aluminum tubing elegantly shaped and finished in Roda's signature style. Such achievements reflect a deep expertise and passion for craftsmanship, exemplifying the spirit of Italian design that continues to innovate while honoring its roots.

Roda: Italian Outdoor Furniture Since 1990

Located in Gavirate, near Varese, Roda was founded in 1990 by Roberto Pompa, an entrepreneur with a clear vision of the goals to achieve. From the start, the company demonstrated a cosmopolitan character, focusing on design, quality, and attention to detail. It quickly established itself in the national and international outdoor furniture market, particularly noted for its use of durable teak wood.

In 2004, Pompa's vision crystallized into a groundbreaking concept: that the essence of outdoor and indoor furniture should be unified, allowing those who inhabit a space to enjoy a seamless transition between "inside" and "outside." This gave rise to the Interior Garden project, where furniture is designed to complement both indoor and outdoor living. The Network collection embodies this philosophy, making Roda the first Italian manufacturer to prioritize creative coherence over stylistic fragmentation. By 2007, this vision was solidified with contributions from esteemed collaborators like Maria Gabriella Zecca and the Lievore Altherr Molina studio. Roda’s commitment to customizable designs and pioneering outdoor solutions solidifies its status as an Italian excellence in the field.
