Roda - Estendo armchair

The linear design and extensible modularity - which inspired the name of the collection - support the flexibility of a functional system consisting of elements of one, two and three seats, with and without armrests, by a chaise longue and an angular module that is placed in the most articulated configurations.

Luca Pevere

After graduating and training in Milan, Luca Pevere moved back in 2006 to his region, Friuli Venezia Giulia, where, in the historic fortress-city of Palmanova he founded the “LucidiPevere” design studio along with Paolo Lucidi. Since 2021 he has also been working as a freelancer, personally following some of the most prestigious brands in the furniture industry. His origins – Friuli Venezia Giulia is a borderland and historical crossroads of cultures – made him a designer particularly open to the concept of diversity, often understood as a research for all the possible design meeting points between form, archetype, materials, and technologies. He strongly believes in human relationships and long-lasting products, for which he is constantly looking for a “pragmatic poetics” able to balance the corporate identity with the key element of the project. Over the years he has taught and held lectures in several design faculties as well as collaborated with a lot of international companies considered benchmarks in various sectors, including furniture, lighting, bathroom, and home accessories. Some of his creations have received awards and recognitions – such as Designpreis Deutschland, Red Dot Design Award, IF Design Award, Good Design and two "Menzioni d’Onore" e Compasso d’Oro – and are now exhibited in the most important international museums.

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.
