Brand Story

Heritage

Kettal was established in 1966 as a family business in Europe, initially focusing on aluminium camping gear. It later shifted direction to specialise in contemporary outdoor furniture, and has since expanded its presence to more than 80 countries. An early affinity for international design led to the formation of the Kettal Group, and in the early 2000s strategic acquisitions, including Hugonet and Triconfort, broadened its portfolio.

Philosophy

Kettal describes its aim as timeless, functional and expressive furniture that provides solutions to the emerging needs of modern life. It prioritises quality over quantity, engineering each piece with robust materials to withstand time and trends, and it commits to sustainability through eco-friendly paints, responsibly sourced wood and, in its aluminium profiles, 80% recycled aluminium.
