Table STRESA 280

A Design That Doesn’t Try Too Hard

Piero Lissoni has a way of making restraint look effortless. The Stresa dining table follows that logic — clean lines, balanced proportions, nothing excessive. It doesn’t impose itself on a space. It simply belongs. And that’s harder to pull off than it sounds.

The silhouette works across contexts without losing its character. Private residences, hospitality projects, open-air settings — the table reads well in all of them. It’s the kind of piece that looks like it was always supposed to be there.

Materials Built for the Outdoors

The structure is powder-coated aluminum throughout. That means lightweight, genuinely resistant to the elements, and fully recyclable. The Smoke finish gives the metal a quiet, sophisticated tone that holds up well against sun and weather without looking overdone.

The top is grès — a dense, fired ceramic material that’s both resilient and refined. It comes in Sand, Mole, or Lead, each with its own weight and warmth. The contrast between the ceramic surface and the metal frame is deliberate and considered. There’s also a wavy glass top option in Fern, Navy, or Paprika for those who want a lighter, more translucent look.

Comfort at the Table

At 29 inches high with 28 inches of clearance underneath, the proportions are standard and comfortable. It pairs naturally with the rest of the Stresa collection — the dining chairs with arms, the lounge chairs — all sharing the same vocabulary of slatted bases and perforated sheet details.

The table itself doesn’t include cushions, but the collection around it does. Fabric options run deep, from Allegro and Oxford to Shore and Soft, so the broader seating setup can be tailored to the project.

Where It Lives Best

Stresa was designed with Mediterranean outdoor living in mind. Long meals, open air, good light. But it transitions just as naturally into a covered terrace, a rooftop, or a contract hospitality setting. The 110-inch length seats a proper group — enough room for a full dinner without crowding.

Roda built this collection to move between private and public, residential and contract, without needing to be rethought for each. The proportions and finish language do that work quietly.

Built to Last Outside

Aluminum doesn’t rust. Grès doesn’t fade or absorb water easily. These aren’t incidental choices — they’re the whole point. The Stresa table is meant to stay outside through seasons, through use, without asking for much in return.

The powder coating adds another layer of protection to the frame. And because the materials are what they are, maintenance stays minimal. It’s a piece that earns its place over time, not just on the day it arrives.
