Bitta Club Swing
Made by Kettal
Designed by Rodolfo Dordoni
The Bitta Club Swing takes its name from the Italian word for mooring cleat, and the reference is anything but incidental. Rodolfo Dordoni drew from the language of the dock to develop a woven structure that recalls the braided rope used to secure boats, translating a utilitarian craft into a refined outdoor gesture.
The Bela rope weave is engineered to breathe, allowing air to pass through the surface while keeping the silhouette visually open. The construction is honest in its origins and considered in its resolution: a working material reinterpreted with the restraint that defines Dordoni's practice across interiors and objects alike.
