Vertical screen FILET 001

A Divider With a Point of View

Filet is not just a screen or a partition. It is a considered object — one that defines space without closing it off. Available in both vertical and horizontal orientations, it works as a filter between areas, letting light and air pass through while still giving a garden or terrace a clear sense of structure. At 75⅝ inches tall in its vertical form, it has real presence.

Materials Built for the Outdoors

The frame combines Iroko wood with powder-coated aluminum, finished in a smoke tone that reads quietly against most outdoor settings. Stainless steel feet — also powder-coated — keep everything grounded and stable, even on uneven surfaces. The woven belts running across the structure come in polyester or acrylic, in two widths: 25mm and 45mm. Both are made to hold up outdoors without fading quickly or losing their shape.

The belt palette is wide. Standard options include grey, sand, brown, tobacco, olive, blue, orange, and sky. And for those looking at more considered choices, a recycled belt range adds clay, mint, rose, stone, and teal. Enough variety to either blend in or stand out, depending on what the space calls for.

Rooted in Textile Tradition

Filet was designed in collaboration with UnPIZZO, a studio with deep roots in Italian textile craft. That background shows. The weaving pattern across the frame is not decorative for its own sake — it references a real making tradition, brought into an outdoor context in a way that feels current rather than nostalgic. The result is something that carries a bit of history without leaning on it.

How It Works in a Space

The modular build is one of its more practical qualities. A connection kit allows multiple Filet units to be aligned and joined with precision, so it can scale from a single accent piece to a full garden boundary. It works well between a dining area and a lounge zone, along a terrace edge, or as a backdrop to a seating arrangement. But it is also strong enough to stand alone. At 48½ inches wide and just over 14 inches deep, it does not take up much ground — it reads vertically, which is part of what makes it useful in smaller outdoor spaces.

Built to Last Outdoors

Roda builds for the long term, and Filet follows that logic. The Iroko wood is naturally resilient in outdoor conditions. The powder-coated finishes on both the aluminum and the stainless steel feet add another layer of protection. The polyester and acrylic belts resist the kind of wear that direct sun and moisture usually cause over time. It is the kind of piece that looks right in its first season and still looks right several years in.
