Table STRESA 220

A Design That Doesn’t Try Too Hard

Piero Lissoni designed the Stresa collection around restraint. The lines are clean, the proportions balanced, and nothing is overdone. The dining table sits at 86¾ inches long and just over 39 inches deep — generous enough for a full table setting, compact enough to read as considered rather than oversized. At 29 inches tall, it lands at a comfortable dining height without anything feeling off.

The perforated detailing found across the Stresa collection carries a quiet visual signature — small diamond cutouts that reduce visual weight without weakening the structure. It’s a small decision that says a lot about how the collection was designed: with real attention to how things look from every angle.

Materials Built for the Outdoors

The structure is powder-coated aluminum throughout. That matters more than it sounds. Aluminum doesn’t rust, doesn’t warp, and stays manageable to move. The smoke finish available across configurations reads as understated and works well against most exterior palettes.

The table top is grès — a dense, fired ceramic material that holds up well against sun, moisture, and everyday use. It’s available in Sand, Mole, and Lead finishes, each one sitting naturally alongside the metal base. For those who prefer something with more character, wavy glass tops are also available in Fern, Navy, and Paprika. The contrast between the ceramic or glass surface and the aluminum frame is quiet but effective.

Comfort at the Table

The Stresa dining table is designed to work alongside the seating in the same collection — dining chairs with arms that share the same aluminum construction and design logic. The slatted base detail accommodates cushions where needed. And because the whole collection runs on the same proportional system, everything sits together without looking forced.

Where It Belongs

Roda positions Stresa as a collection that moves between contexts, and the table makes that easy to believe. It works on a terrace in a private home, around a pool, or in a contract hospitality setting. The scale — available in two sizes — helps. A table at 86¾ inches fits a mid-sized outdoor dining setup without dominating the space. It doesn’t need a dramatic backdrop to look right.

Mediterranean gardens are a natural fit, but so are urban rooftops or interior courtyards. The design doesn’t depend on a specific setting to hold together.

Built to Last Outdoors

Aluminum is fully recyclable and resists corrosion over time. Grès is one of the more resilient surface materials used in outdoor furniture — it doesn’t absorb water, doesn’t fade quickly, and cleans easily. Together, they make the Stresa dining table a straightforward long-term investment. No special maintenance routines, no seasonal storage requirements. It stays outside and holds up.
