Roda presents a preview of the new Stresa collection designed by Piero Lissoni
Stresa: the timeless elegance of outdoor living
Stresa is the new living and dining collection in painted aluminum, designed for Roda by Piero Lissoni. With an essential and sophisticated design, presented in the Smoke finish, it is a line with timeless appeal, conceived to fit effortlessly into a wide range of settings, both residential and contract. The name evokes the timeless elegance of Stresa, the pearl of Lake Maggiore, with its historic villas and beautifully preserved Liberty architecture.
“This collection is a reinterpretation of classic outdoor metal furniture, although in this case we used aluminum. Those garden collections you see by the lake, in the classic villas of Stresa, or on terraces by the sea or in the countryside,” says Piero Lissoni. “I simply reinterpreted an idea rooted in tradition — those seats that over the years have settled into places and almost become traditional — and brought it into the new world, into 2025. I hope that in 50 years Stresa will also have settled in and become a new reference point for reinterpreting tradition.”
Stresa is available in a variety of outdoor furnishing elements for a complete and coordinated proposal, spanning living and dining: a two- or three-seater sofa, a rectangular table in two sizes, poufs and coffee tables, and armchairs with armrests for both dining and lounge settings.
The new collections and updates to the Roda catalog
The new Roda catalog presents a universe in which design, nature, and architecture engage in dialogue through contemporary settings and landscape contexts. It is a visual project that reflects the brand’s philosophy: organic design inspired by natural forms, a strong focus on sustainability, and an idea of luxury understood as authenticity, research, and lasting quality. Nature runs through every page, becoming at times a backdrop, an inspiration, and a co-protagonist of the scene, highlighting the excellence, harmony, and customization possibilities of Roda collections.
