Kettal has been the architectural reference for Spanish outdoor furniture since 1964. Headquartered in Polinyà near Barcelona, the brand commissions architects rather than stylists — Patricia Urquiola, Jasper Morrison, Hella Jongerius, the Bouroullec brothers, Vincent Van Duysen, Naoto Fukasawa — and produces aluminum-framed seating, teak detailing and batyline systems with industrial precision. Via della Seta sources Kettal directly from the Polinyà factory for villa, penthouse, pool and hospitality projects across the United States, Europe and the Middle East — handling specification, freight, customs and white-glove installation under one contract.

Kettal occupies the architectural end of the luxury outdoor furniture market: powder-coated aluminum frames as the primary structural language, teak and rope as accents, batyline mesh and solution-dyed acrylic for the textile programme. The aesthetic register is geometric and restrained — Bitta, Park Life, Vieques, Pavilion — which is why Kettal recurs in modernist residences, rooftop and pool decks, and minimalist hospitality projects where the outdoor furniture is expected to read as part of the architecture rather than against it.
For US specifications the technical advantages are concrete: aluminum frames carry no corrosion risk in salt-air environments, batyline and solution-dyed acrylic textiles are rated for full UV exposure, and the architectural collections are engineered for both residential and contract use. Kettal's collaborations with Patricia Urquiola (Bitta, Vieques, Maia) and Jasper Morrison (Park Life) anchor luxury residential pool decks from California and Florida to the Hamptons; the Pavilion architectural systems by the Bouroullec brothers extend into structural shading, screens and outdoor rooms.
Via della Seta sources every Kettal collection — Bitta, Maia, Vieques, Park Life, Pavilion, Roll, Boma, Riva, Cala, Net, Insula and the rest — directly from Polinyà. We coordinate the order with the rest of your FF&E specification, manage ocean or air freight, US customs clearance and white-glove delivery, and consolidate Kettal outdoor furniture into a single project shipment alongside indoor furniture, lighting, kitchens and smart home — under one contract and one timeline.
Bitta, Maia, Park Life. Aluminum-frame loungers, daybeds and dining sets engineered for full sun, chlorine and salt-air exposure. Batyline mesh and solution-dyed acrylic for textiles.
Vieques, Roll, Insula. Lightweight aluminum framing for rooftop weight constraints; modular configurations for narrow terraces and L-shaped balconies.
Pavilion (Bouroullec brothers). Structural outdoor pavilions, screens and integrated shading systems — extending the outdoor room into engineered architecture rather than loose furniture.

Powder-coated aluminum is corrosion-resistant in coastal and pool environments. Wipe down with mild soap and water as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the powder-coat finish.
Untreated teak weathers to a silver-grey patina without affecting structural integrity. Apply teak oil once or twice per year if you prefer the original honey tone. The colour shift is purely aesthetic.
Solution-dyed acrylic and batyline mesh resist UV fade, mould and mildew. Most cushion covers are removable and machine-washable. Store cushions during extended winters or use breathable covers.
Kettal has been Spanish since its founding in 1964 and produces in Polinyà, near Barcelona. The brand operates an integrated manufacturing facility for aluminum framing, powder-coating, weaving and assembly. Teak components are sourced from certified plantations and finished in-house.
Kettal aluminum frames are engineered for full year-round outdoor exposure: salt air, chlorine, UV and broad temperature swings. Powder-coat finishes typically maintain their appearance for a decade or more with basic care. Batyline mesh and solution-dyed acrylic textiles routinely deliver 8–12 years of outdoor service before refresh.
Yes. Via della Seta sources Kettal directly from the Polinyà factory for residential and hospitality projects across the United States — including coastal residences in California and Florida, pool decks in Texas and Arizona, urban penthouses in New York and Miami, and resort projects nationwide. We handle specification, factory order, ocean freight, US customs clearance and white-glove delivery to site.
All Kettal collections are rated for outdoor use; aluminum frames carry no corrosion risk. For direct salt-air or chlorinated-pool installations Bitta, Maia, Vieques and Park Life are common specifications. Solution-dyed acrylic cushions and batyline mesh resist chlorine and salt fade across all current collections.
Yes. Powder-coat finishes can be specified outside the standard palette for branded hospitality projects or specific architectural references. Cushion fabrics can be specified from Kettal's textile programme or in COM (Customer's Own Material). Lead times for custom finishes are 14–20 weeks rather than the standard 8–12.
Dedon leads with hand-woven all-weather fiber and sculpted, organic silhouettes — Mbrace, Nestrest, Caladio. Royal Botania is the engineered-teak reference with stainless detailing. Tribù emphasises rope, woven and fully upholstered seating with layered textures. Kettal is the architectural choice — powder-coated aluminum framing, geometric restraint, designer commissions from the architectural canon. We specify across all four within the same project where the brief calls for it.
Standard collections in cataloged finishes ship 8–12 weeks ex-factory. Custom powder-coat colours, bespoke fabrics or large hospitality orders run 14–20 weeks. For projects with a fixed install date we recommend confirming the spec list at least 5 months out so freight and US customs clearance fit comfortably inside the schedule.
German-Filipino reference for hand-woven all-weather fiber — sculpted lounge, daybeds and the iconic Nestrest.
Belgian teak and stainless steel — exceptional weather resistance and timeless silhouettes.
Belgian precision outdoors — sculpted teak, rope and fully-upholstered terrace collections.
Spanish avant-garde outdoor furniture — sculptural rotational-moulded forms and bold colour.
