Roda - Cortica planter 002 

A collection of cylindrical outdoor vases, rounded on the edges, that brings to mind the trunk of a tree: CORTICA welcomes and enhances plants and flowers of any type and color in outdoor spaces of different styles and sizes. CORTICA is made of brown cork, a completely natural material composed of bark granules that remain united thanks to the resins produced by the plant itself and a treatment with water vapor at high temperature.
The collection can be used as a vase or vase holder: the drain hole on the base can in fact be closed or left open depending on the needs, thanks to the special cork supplied, always made of brown cork.

RODA

Roda opens a new era in the outdoor furniture field, a more contemporary dimension of living that goes beyond the borders of the home: indoor and outdoor mingle with a harmonic language, in a spatial and conceptual continuum. The company’s founder, Roberto Pompa, followed his revolutionary intuition to realized outdoor as places to be lived and enhance with refined pieces of furniture. The company’s name speaks of people and loved ones: RODA is an acronym of the names of Pompa’s family – RO for Roberto and his wife Rosaria, DA for their children Daniele and Davide. The vision and ambition held at RODA gradually became a process. This was a decade of great importance, focused on the cultural enhancement and ennoblement of a new type of outdoor furniture. In order to encompass design, a sense of conviviality, and the kind of emotions given by interiors, Rodolfo Dordoni was selected by the team as an artistic director. In 2005, RODA participated for the first time at the Salone del Mobile in Milan, while its innovative catalogue featured a clear overview of the company’s original approach to outdoor living. The fair and the catalogue were turning points that led to the global confirmation of the success of the strategy, the product, and the unusual, sophisticated combinations of materials and colours.
