Vimini Dining Chair, designed by Patricia Urquiola, is a gorgeous dining chair. The Vimini collection came about following a conversation we had about Nanna Ditzel and her Basket chair; apart from both being designed by women, we have much in common. We called it Vimini because it means wicker in Italian and it sounds like Bimini, an island I like. We used just the right amount of outdoor wicker with a rougher wooden frame. It doesn't have the same modernist spirit as the Basket but it's familiar enough that, when you get close, it stirs a memory and makes you feel at home. That's what it was, more or less—an object of memory. The chair consists of a basket with large backrest cushions. Seen from the side and back it has that modernist look. The braiding is traditional, your classic outdoor fiber. ‘I fancied something really traditional, something a bit modernist, relaxed in the way we treated the fibre. And the Vimini, the chair with its classic braiding and baskets, it's captivating, and we wanted to make something neutral’.

Roll Dining Chair, designed by Patricia Urquiola, is very good-looking dining chair. Using a unique intervention of conventional upholstery, Kettal converts an average backrest into two independent ‘wraps’ connected by colorful straps. These straps are connected to the aluminium structure using two pins, allowing our clients to remove them during the wintertime easily. The seat cushion is supported by a semi-transparent micro fabric, allowing the aluminum frames to support the protagonist of our chairs: the cushion. The design of side tables could be considered postmodernist, given its basic yet unexpected forms. The tables are built following a graphic pattern that appears in all of the collection’s pieces, a pattern in which various materials - metals, concrete, and wood - are joined together in unique and unusual ways. The table tops are made up of different materials such as aluminium, Glaze, teak wood, or marble, while the base, resting on architectonic concrete, is made of intentionally oversized aluminium.

Ringer Dining Chair, designed by Michael Anastassiades, is a very graceful dining chair. The Ringer Collection is the first collaboration between Kettal and Michael Anastassiades, and was conceived as a minimal approach to Café dining furniture. The title references the traditional Game of Horseshoes and links to the gesture of the armrest sitting on top of the legs. Michael made use of Kettal’s expertise in aluminum fabrication to create a robust collection that is still easy to move and rearrange. The focus is an Armchair with a singular arm and back element. There is a slight flaring on the opening of the armrest as a subtle invitation to occupy the seat, echoing the traditional Chinese Horseshoe Back Chair. The challenge has been to make the individual elements that compose the chair appear as if they touch without visible joints yet provide sufficient structural support.

Giro Folding Dining Armchair, designed by Vincent Van Duysen, is an elegant folding dining armchair. Giro is a collection which can blend into interiors and exteriors due to its tactility and pure lines. In Giro, we have some variety of shapes, textures and materials (see the difference between the seating items and the coffee and side tables). And still all the items merge harmoniously together to create a warm, tactile and pleasant atmosphere.

Band Armchair, designed by Patricia Urquiola, is a beautifully designed dining armchair. The idea behind the BAND collection is the breakdown of structure. An object is designed using an ensemble of pieces.

A structure made up of repetitive angular shapes that give center stage to its raw materials and is formed entirely of aluminum with terrain elements lamination.
