Coffee table STRESA 106

A Clean Shape That Works

Piero Lissoni kept it simple with Stresa. The table sits at 11 inches high, with a square footprint of just over 47 by 47 inches — proportions that feel considered without being fussy. The lines are straight, the silhouette is light, and nothing competes for attention. It doesn’t try to be a statement piece. But it holds its own in almost any setting.

Materials Built for the Outdoors

The structure is powder-coated aluminum — the right call for outdoor furniture. It resists corrosion, stays light enough to move around, and holds up across seasons without much maintenance. The finish comes in Smoke, which reads as a quiet, versatile neutral against most surfaces.

The top is grès, a dense ceramic material that handles sun, rain, and temperature shifts without fading or cracking. It’s available in Sand, Mole, and Lead — each a different read on the same understated palette. There’s also a Wavy Glass top option in Fern, Navy, and Paprika for those who want a bit more character in the surface.

Part of a Larger System

The Stresa coffee table doesn’t exist in isolation. It’s part of a full outdoor collection that includes sofas, lounge chairs, dining chairs, poufs, and dining tables. The pouf in particular is worth noting — it can integrate a coffee table surface, shifting between a seat, a footrest, or a low table depending on what the moment calls for. That kind of flexibility is useful in real outdoor spaces where layouts change.

Where It Fits

Roda designed Stresa to move between contexts without friction. It works on a private rooftop, around a hotel pool, in a contract lounge, or on a wide terrace overlooking the water. The scale is generous enough to anchor a seating group but not so large it dominates a smaller space. And because the aluminum structure is fully recyclable, it fits naturally into projects with sustainability requirements.

The collection has a Mediterranean sensibility — open, relaxed, built for outdoor living that goes beyond a few summer months. It doesn’t feel seasonal. It feels permanent.

Built to Last

Aluminum and grès are both long-life materials. They don’t need seasonal storage, don’t warp, and don’t require special treatments to maintain their finish. The powder coating keeps the structure looking clean over time, and the grès top is resistant to staining and weathering. Cushion covers — available across a wide range of fabrics including Allegro, Oxford, Loom, Shore, and others — can be swapped or refreshed without replacing the piece. That’s practical, and it extends the life of the investment considerably.
