Rhodia FAQ


What’s the history of Rhodia?

Rhodia was founded in 1934 in France, along the river Rhône. That’s where they got the name from, with the people of the region being called Rhodanians. It was started by two brothers, Henri and Robert Vérilhac, represented by the distinctive pair of fir trees in their logo, which was there from the start, drawn by Antonia Vérilhac, Henri’s wife.


What makes Rhodia different?

Rhodia makes high-quality notepads, but the thing they are probably best known for is their orange covers. They do notebooks in lots of different colours, but we would bet that if you have seen one in the wild, it will have been the orange that you noticed.
