SHIP SHAPE

Inspired by a nautical theme, Kettal’s new Bitta collection is warm and comfortable. It features a combination of aluminium frames with braided polyester cords, and its new extendable table is available with a teak, marble or aluminium top. “My aim was to create dense braiding that would still let the air through, reminiscent of the braiding of the ropes used to moor boats – hence the name Bitta, which means ‘mooring’ in Italian,” says designer Rodolfo Dordoni. “It makes the pieces look lightweight but, at the same time, they look just like cosy nests in natural colours – [perfect] to sit back and relax in.” 04 394 8161 / kettal.com
