Kettal: eclectic and functional outdoor furnishings

From cots to seating, kitchens to fans, design for outdoor contexts becomes a procession that evokes distant memories and landscapes

Eclectic and innovative collections, a focus on products made in Europe, and the desire to narrate a family history through timeless offerings. With its multi-faceted philosophy, the Spanish company Kettal creates functional, fluid outdoor product lines, ideal to respond to the needs of contemporary life, while relying on collaboration with big names in international design. The company offers various seating solutions, including the Grand Bitta, Plumon, PAD and Arc collections, all remarkable for their originality and character. 

Grand Bitta by Rodolfo Dordoni takes its cue from the nautical world, mixed with the idea of a warm, welcoming nest with a durable structure, based on a combination of teak with aluminium systems woven in polyester cord combination of materials rounded out by the stone used for the tabletops.

Plumon by Kettal,
Design Patricia Urquiola

Plumon, on the other hand, is the new outdoor line designed by Patricia Urquiola, with a sartorial approach that starts from the concept of the garment, inserted into the world of design and décor. The products have ample proportions and their enveloping comfort can be understood at a glance, thanks to the presence of upholstery tubing featuring stitching developed around the armrests and the back, almost in contrast with an essential teak structure. 

Comfort is also the key term of the PAD system of cots, created to match quality and looks. From the replaceable ties to the large seating surface, everything has been envisioned to make moments of relaxation into true experiences of wellbeing.

Arc by Kettal

Elegant and sophisticated, Arc offers seating based on a continuous radial arc, with a light aluminium structure that interacts with the back woven in strips, and the seat with soft padding and a removable fabric cove

The Base Kitchen has great visual impact, in a modular structure with clean design. Thanks to the support frame in black aluminium, it is possible to insert the various stoneware modules to create different combinations, and to incorporate a gas barbecue, burners with a stand for woks, or a bar counter. Base Kitchen comes in two types of stoneware and two iroko wood finishes for the doors.

Superfan by Kettal,
Design Michael Anastassiades

The range of new items is completed not only by furnishings, but also by elements that suggest distant summer moments, precious memories crystallized in useful design objects. The personal experience of the designer Michael Anastassiades has led to Superfan, a three-blade fan in aluminium with a linear geometric design, available in ceiling and suspension versions.
