Onda by Rohi is a textile of elegant restraint fluid in appearance, precise in structure, and rich in character. Crafted from 100% new wool and woven in Germany, Onda carries the quiet sophistication of natural fibres, refined through Rohi’s uncompromising attention to detail. Its name Onda, meaning "wave" in Italian hints at its defining feature: a subtle, undulating weave that gives the fabric a gentle rhythm, like the soft rise and fall of water. This movement is not ornamental, but integral imbuing the textile with a tactile depth that shifts with light and touch. The wool offers a dry, robust hand balanced by a surprising softness, making it both resilient and inviting. Its matte surface absorbs light rather than reflecting it, giving colours a muted, architectural presence shades that feel mineral, vegetal, and enduring. Whether used in residential interiors or refined commercial spaces, Onda brings an understated warmth one that grounds rather than competes, elevates without imposition.
This fabric could only come from Rohi, a German textile house known for its quiet excellence. For over 90 years, Rohi has been producing wool-based fabrics of exceptional quality—crafted entirely in-house at their vertically integrated mill in Bavaria. With a focus on longevity, Rohi designs textiles that resist trend and reward time balancing the technical requirements of contract-grade performance with a sensitivity to texture, palette, and form. Their fabrics are frequently selected by leading architects and furniture designers for their ability to inhabit a space with subtlety and purpose. Onda is a clear example of this ethos: it does not mimic nature, but rather echoes it through tone, rhythm, and feel. It is a fabric meant for quiet, intentional environments, where material quality is not a luxury, but a foundation. In Onda, the essence of wool is celebrated not concealed, through a weave that honours both tradition and the purity of design.
