Roma Lounge Range
The Roma lounge range is outdoor rope furniture, where woven rope forms the seat and back over a frame. Rope has become the finish of choice for outdoor lounges because it gives the softness of upholstery without holding water the way a solid cushioned back does.
Four configurations are stocked:
- Roma 3 seat outdoor rope sofa, sold on its own, for adding seating to an area you have already furnished or for building a larger arrangement piece by piece.
- Roma 3 piece outdoor rope set, the compact option, for a balcony or a small courtyard.
- Roma 4 piece outdoor rope lounge set, available with either a round or a rectangular table.
The round against rectangular choice is worth thinking about rather than defaulting. A round table suits conversation and works better in a square space, because nobody sits at a corner. A rectangular table gives more usable surface for platters and drinks and sits more naturally against a wall or a balustrade.
Rope furniture is low maintenance but not no maintenance. Hose it down rather than scrubbing, let it dry fully before covering, and keep it out of standing water. Rope that stays damp under a cover for a season is where mould starts, and it is much easier to prevent than to remove.
The Roma chairs are also stocked separately in the outdoor chairs range, so a lounge setting here can be extended with matching dining seating if you want the two areas to read as one scheme.
Roma Lounge Range - FAQs
-
What is the Roma lounge range?
Roma is a rope outdoor lounge range from La Vita, built around a three seat rope sofa. The rope styling gives a relaxed, contemporary look that suits a patio or a pool area at home just as well as a cafe courtyard or a resort terrace. It is sold as individual sofas and as complete lounge sets.
-
What colours is Roma available in?
The three seat sofa is available in Light Grey and in Pebble, both soft neutrals that sit well in coastal and modern outdoor spaces. Note that the three piece set is offered in Light Grey only, so if Pebble is what you want, check the individual product page before assuming the set comes in it.
-
What is the difference between the three piece and the four piece set?
The piece count is the number of items in the setting, not the number of seats. The three piece set is a smaller grouping built around the rope sofa with a table, and the four piece adds another seat to the layout. Work out how many people you seat at once and how much floor space the setting can have, then choose, because a four piece needs noticeably more room to sit comfortably.
-
What table comes with the Roma set?
The Roma three piece set includes a table with a ceramic stone tabletop. Ceramic is a good match for rope furniture outdoors because it is non porous, so it does not absorb wine or oil, and it is unaffected by UV. It also means the set arrives coordinated rather than needing a table sourced separately.
-
What are the dimensions of the Roma three seat sofa?
The three seat rope sofa is 202cm wide, 89.5cm deep and 74cm high. The depth is the number worth checking, because at nearly 90cm it needs real clearance in front of it for a coffee table and a walkway. Measure the space before you order rather than after.
-
Can I mix Roma with other ranges?
Yes, and it is done regularly in this catalogue. Roma rope dining chairs are paired with the Bahza ceramic round table in both three piece and five piece dining sets, so the rope look carries across from the lounge area to the dining area. Keeping to the same rope colour across both is what makes a mixed layout read as deliberate.
-
How do I clean and look after rope furniture?
Clean regularly with mild soap and water and a soft brush, working along the weave rather than across it. Let the cushions and the rope dry fully after wet weather rather than leaving them damp under a cover. A suitable cover over an unused period keeps dirt and tree debris out of the weave, which is the main thing that makes rope look tired.
