DESIGN BY RODOLFO DORDONI
RODA

The RODA philosophy is based on the conviction
that even when outdoors, it is possible to fully enjoy
the impact of a true work of interior design, while
conserving the spontaneity of life in the open air
thanks to a refined selection of colors, materials, and
forms. Design culture and lifestyle vision form the
basis of the collaboration that has led the company to
develop the outdoor furnishings for two outstanding
projects of the Ferretti Group: Ferretti Yachts 920
and Ferretti Yachts 780.

“The EDEN system is a compendium, a project that combines the experience of RODA in both the making and use of materials
for upholstered furniture, reassembling this expertise in a more international, contemporary, and flexible way with respect to the
previous collections.” — Rodolfo Dordoni
There is no place holier than a garden: between our home and the world, these enchanted places regulate the relationship between
what is most intimate and private and all the rest. In the end, we all want our own little corner of paradise. And as a matter of fact,
RODA is ready with a new collection, called EDEN. The outdoor furnishings leader took part in the latest Salone Internazionale del
Mobile in Milan with a new series that incorporates innovation, stylistic research, and technology. This system for the living area
created by the designer Rodolfo Dordoni is the company’s first product to combine two distinctive materials in its structure, in a
very original and harmonious way: teak and coated stainless steel. The teak now comes in a blanched version, a finish never utilized
before in the other collections. A product that meets the aesthetic and functional needs of contemporary design, offering various
modular components all clad in outdoor fabric. The two and three seat variants can be matched without compositional limits to the EDEN: detail of padded belts, RODA, 2019
backs, sold separately to ensure maximum freedom of configuration. The models have seats with a depth of 95 centimeters and EDEN: modular outdoor seating furniture designed
thick cushions for a remarkable level of comfort and relaxation. by Rodolfo Dordoni for RODA, 2019
