Who are the designers behind the Cala Armchair?

The Cala Armchair was designed by Doshi Levien, the London-based studio founded by Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien. Their practice draws on Nipa's background in Indian craft traditions and Jonathan's training in industrial design, producing work that sits comfortably between cultural reference and precision engineering.

What is the Cala Armchair made from?

The chair features a structural frame paired with a precision-woven backrest, both engineered by Kettal to perform in demanding outdoor environments including coastal conditions with salt air and prolonged sun exposure. Specific material configurations are available through Kettal's authorized showrooms.

Is the Cala Armchair suitable for year-round outdoor use?

Yes. Kettal designs and tests its outdoor collection to withstand shifting seasonal conditions, including UV exposure, humidity, and salt air. The Cala's materials and construction are selected specifically for durability without altering the chair's sculptural profile.

What is the design inspiration behind the Cala's form?

The silhouette references the cala flower, translating its organic curvature into a structural woven backrest. The form is not purely decorative; the geometry also creates a backrest that filters light and provides a sense of enclosure, giving the chair a distinct presence in outdoor settings.

Where is the Kettal Cala Armchair manufactured?

Kettal produces the Cala Armchair at its facility in Barcelona, Spain. The brand is known for applying European manufacturing rigor to outdoor furniture, with in-house control over frame construction, weaving, and finishing processes.
