RODA

Who we are

RODA was born in 1991 in Gavirate, between Varese“The Garden City”, and the seven lakes of the province, from the passion and intuition
of the founder, Roberto Pompa. The company has steadily gained traction in Italy and the world with its production of outdoor furniture distinguished by refined functionality and impeccable design.

RODA’s transformation process started a few years ago and has led to production internalisation and the industrialisation of manufacturing processes thanks to structural investment and the development of local industrial partnerships to preserve and increase the company’s know-how. Crucial steps that mark
a process of growth and expansion, from trader to distributor, then designer and now producer.

VISION

“Where people strive to feel good, commune with their loved ones, enjoy the pleasures of life in harmony with nature, in the places they inhabit, and in outdoor surroundings that are beautiful, comfortable and durable.”

Quality, sustainability and well-being are the pillars of RODA that, with its passion, far-sightedness and 30 years of experience, has become firmly established as one of the most recognised companies of excellence in its field. Thanks to an ecosystem of people and relations, RODA has achieved important goals and created shared value. RODA is the expression of design that symbolises competence and Italian-made craftsmanship. Its collections are unmistakably characterised by sophisticated and cosmopolitan taste.

Our values

MISSION

RODA presents a multitude of inviting outdoor settings where innovativeness and refinement are continually evolving, where furniture is inserted with delicate harmony in the different areas of the home and its surroundings.

RODA unites beauty with performance, because aesthetic gratification outdoors cannot exclude durability. Effort is made to find materials that in their combined state resist all weather conditions and pass the test of time while respecting the environment and giving the finished products an outward appearance of timelessness that remains fresh over the years.

Corporate Social Responsibility

The RODA philosophy gives priority to people and community, both at the company and in relationships with partners, clients and suppliers. Constant technological and stylistic research in full respect of the environment follows an intrinsically green design approach that ranges from the reuse of offcuts to the durability of RODA products. According to the Sustainability Award 2021 devised by Credit Suisse, Kon Group and Forbes, RODA is one of the 100 most sustainable Italian companies.

Not only environmental sustainability, but also a clear wish to symphonise economic and business objectives with social and ethical benefits leads RODA to contribute to the collective well-being of the local region, the company itself and the communities it touches. This is seen in company led activities and interactions with stakeholders. One initiative involves a cooperative for people with disabilities, whom RODA employs for the mounting of strapping and cording.
