Roda Root table

Description

ROOT by Rodolfo Dordoni is an extremely versatile collection of outdoor tables that strikes a perfect balance between solidity and lightness. The harmonious dimensions see slender tops supported by a central solid teak leg with four feet, rendering these tables suitable for any style and outdoor setting. Simple and unfussy, ROOT is a true must have owing to its versatility of use and absolutely transversal form.

Design Inspiration & Philosophy

Rodolfo Dordoni approaches ROOT with the understanding that supporting furniture must be both unobtrusive and distinguished. The central leg design creates stable support without the visual complexity of multiple legs, allowing the tables to sit discreetly within outdoor arrangements. The solid teak construction brings natural warmth and durability, materials that age gracefully in outdoor environments. This design philosophy results in tables that can easily be combined with any outdoor sofa or armchair, creating intimate areas for relaxing or enjoying coffee with friends whilst maintaining their own quiet presence.

Construction & Materials

The structure comprises solid teak, a wood renowned for its resistance to outdoor conditions and its ability to develop a silvery grey patina over time. The central leg with four feet provides stability on various surfaces, from smooth terraces to textured garden paving. This construction method ensures the tables remain steady whilst minimising visual weight, an important consideration for outdoor furniture that may be repositioned seasonally or according to use.

Top Material Options

The tops are available in materials selected for their resistance to atmospheric agents and their aesthetic versatility. Stone options include Carrara marble for classic elegance, Luna for warm tones, and Farsena for textured character. Gres in natural finish offers contemporary stone like appearance with consistent colouring. Wavy glass creates visual intrigue through textured transparency, available in fern, navy, and paprika colours. Concrete tops in mole, green, and orange bring industrial aesthetic with outdoor durability. This range of materials ensures ROOT adapts to diverse stylistic contexts whilst maintaining functional performance.

Collection Variants

ROOT encompasses side tables and coffee tables in considered proportions:

– Side table ROOT 045 at 45cm diameter and 44cm height, suitable for placing beside seating

– Coffee table ROOT 046 at 67cm diameter and 44cm height, scaled for central placement within seating arrangements

– Side table ROOT 067 at 45cm diameter and 67cm height, positioned for standing or bar height applications

Versatility & Application

As simple as it is elegant, ROOT proves perfect for both residential and professional use. The collection’s transversal form means it complements traditional and contemporary outdoor furniture equally well, functioning as supporting elements that enhance rather than compete with primary seating pieces. The tables can become protagonists of outdoor furniture thanks to the materials used for the top, or they can highlight the harmony of a living corner through their understated presence.
