Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Kettal Mia light rated for outdoor use?

Yes. The Mia collection is engineered for outdoor environments, with a UV-resistant polypropylene shade and an acid-treated glass diffuser that withstand prolonged exposure to the elements. It performs equally well in sheltered indoor settings.

What type of light does the acid-treated glass diffuser produce?

Acid treatment creates a frosted surface on the glass that scatters light uniformly, producing a soft, even glow with no harsh glare. This quality of diffusion makes it well suited to dining terraces, lounge areas, and interiors where ambient light is a priority.

Who is Michel Charlot?

Michel Charlot is a French-born industrial designer whose practice bridges product and furniture design. His work is characterized by formal restraint, a preference for honest structure, and a sensitivity to how objects inhabit both domestic and public space.

What is Kettal's approach to outdoor furniture design?

Kettal is a Barcelona-based manufacturer known for collaborating with architects and designers to produce outdoor furniture and lighting that meets the formal and material standards typically associated with interior objects. Their collections prioritize weather performance without compromising on proportion or finish.

Are the floor and table versions of the Mia the same design language?

Yes. Both the floor and table lamp versions share the same acid-treated glass diffuser, polypropylene shade, and exposed wire frame, maintaining a consistent visual identity across scales. The two can be used together or independently within the same setting.
