Three decades on, RODA has become an industry leader in designing indoor-outdoor furniture based on the driving principles of quality, sustainability, and well-being. Their products lie at the intersection of Italian craftsmanship and innovation, exploring the durability of materials such as teak slats, woven textiles and nautical rope.
Designer collaborations are at the heart of RODA’s future-forward concepts and materials, shaping the brand’s 2024 Salone del Mobile.Milano presentation. The all-star Italian lineup included Piero Lissoni, Rodolfo Dordoni, AMDL CIRCLE founder Michele De Lucchi and a partnership with MISSONI fashion house.

The stand layout emphasised the brand’s headline releases with its various types of greenery and focus on material reuse. The first was the launch of the RODA x MISSONI 100 per cent outdoor fabrics, the Outdoor Design collection. The tactile fabric collection comprises solution-dyed acrylic yarn with a jacquard finish, available in various colours and five patterns: Riva, Bamboo, Opera, Spiga, and Duna. RODA selected 20 new types of outdoor fabric to revisit past designs across three different settings at the stand.

The new Philia modular sofa collection, the last design by the late designer Rodolfo Dordoni for the brand, took the stage at the centre of the RODA stand. Signifying the Greek concept of Philia, meaning a bond between friends and family, the sofas are designed to parallel the comfort of indoor designs. They are based on teak slats that can be arranged in multiple ways for flexible outdoor arrangements.
The third headline release was AMDL CIRCLE studio founder Michele De Lucchi’s Teseo dining table and chairs, described as an interplay between rope and wood. The chairs feature teak slats connected by continuous grey cord stitching, while the table has sewn and un-sewn slats.
Blending artisanal traditions and modern technology, RODA affirmed that in 2024, timeless design outdoors can enrich everyday living for years to come.
The Eolie designed by Gordon Guillaumier is a new, modular outdoor collection encompassing sun loungers, tables and gazebos.
