Roberti is an Italian brand specialized in the production of outdoor furniture for the residential and contract sectors. Founded in 1959 as a family business, it offers collections for gardens, terraces, verandas, pools, spas, and hospitality areas, with a catalog that includes sofas, armchairs, seating, tables, sun loungers, chaise longues, daybeds, and hanging solutions. The brand identity is rooted in a contemporary interpretation of outdoor living, where comfort, material quality, and formal coherence contribute to the creation of coordinated exterior environments. Production, mainly concentrated in Italy between Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia, integrates manufacturing expertise, technical research, and a focus on durability.
Roberti, materials and design for contemporary outdoor living
Roberti collections interpret outdoor furniture as a natural extension of interior spaces, with proposals designed to ensure aesthetic continuity between the home, the garden, and professional environments. The catalog includes outdoor furniture for lounge areas, dining areas, poolside settings, and wellness spaces, as well as solutions for hotels, resorts, restaurants, and contract projects. Among the most recognizable products are the Portofino swing and the Gravity swing sofa, pieces that reinterpret traditional typologies through a contemporary language. Alongside its iconic pieces, the most recent collections testify to the brand’s stylistic evolution toward an increasingly fluid and architectural outdoor experience. The Venetian collection, presented as part of the Open Living Collection 2026, stands out for its essential lines, compact structure, and balance between solid volumes and soft upholstery, making it suitable for both residential and hospitality contexts. Setai, on the other hand, proposes a modular system with generous proportions and a low profile, designed to create flexible configurations and informal yet sophisticated lounge environments. The Sunset Harbour collection emphasizes visual lightness and compositional continuity through modular seating with linear geometries and an essential aesthetic, designed for terraces, lounges, and contemporary contract spaces. Research into materials plays a central role in Roberti production. The company uses aluminum and stainless steel with powder-coated finishes, HPL surfaces, technical outdoor padding, and premium nautical ropes, a distinctive element in many collections. Resistant to atmospheric agents and designed to preserve their characteristics over time, the ropes introduce a tactile and artisanal dimension that contributes to the aesthetic identity of the product. Collaboration between the in-house research and development team and a network of European architects and designers also encourages the creation of highly customizable collections, capable of adapting to different design contexts.
Roberti outdoor furniture: Italian production and international development
The history of Roberti began in 1959, when the company was founded as a family business dedicated to the production of outdoor furniture. From its earliest years, the brand developed a strong international vocation, exporting to over 50 countries and collaborating with architects, designers, project managers, retailers, and industry professionals. The Italian production chain, rooted between Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia, makes it possible to maintain a direct relationship with artisanal expertise and advanced technologies. Over time, Roberti has consolidated a design approach based on quality, research, and attention to ethical and professional standards throughout the entire production process. Sustainability is addressed through the selection of materials that can be separated and recycled at the end of their life cycle, with the aim of reducing the environmental impact of outdoor collections. The constant dialogue between design and technical innovation has also contributed to the development of an in/out living concept, where interiors and exteriors integrate coherently. In 2026, the brand entered a new phase with its acquisition by William Giorgini, Roberto J. Toffoletto, and Francesco Zago, entrepreneurs who followed and developed Roberti in the US market for over twenty years. This evolution aims to further strengthen the bond with the Italian production territory while preserving the brand identity within the contemporary outdoor furniture landscape.
