Kettal is a Spanish luxury outdoor furniture manufacturer founded in 1966 in Barcelona, Spain. The company was established by Manuel Alorda and remains family-owned, now managed by the second generation under Alex Alorda. Kettal designs, engineers, and manufactures premium outdoor furniture with all production based at its factory in Barcelona, maintaining full control over the manufacturing process from raw materials to finished product.
The brand is distinguished by its collaborations with leading architects and designers. Kettal has worked with Patricia Urquiola, Jasper Morrison, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Hella Jongenious, Rodolfo Dordoni, and Doshi Levien, among others. Patricia Urquiola's contributions have been particularly influential, including the Mesh collection, the Vieques line, and the Bitta series. Jasper Morrison designed the Park Life collection, while the Bouroullec brothers created the Cala seating system.
Kettal's product range includes sofas, lounge chairs, dining chairs and tables, daybeds, parasols, planters, and outdoor pavilion structures. The company uses materials including powder-coated aluminum, teak, woven synthetic rope, technical fabrics, and ceramic. Kettal's pavilion and pergola structures, designed in collaboration with Patricia Urquiola, represent a distinct product category that integrates architectural outdoor structures with the furniture line.
The company supplies both the residential and hospitality markets, with installations at luxury hotels and resorts globally. Kettal distributes through specialized outdoor furniture retailers, interior design professionals, and its own flagship showrooms in cities including Barcelona, Milan, Paris, and New York.
