Mia Table and Floor Light
Made by Kettal
Michel Charlot's Mia collection for Kettal holds a quiet tension between the interior and the exterior. Designed for outdoor life, it refuses to look like outdoor furniture. The composure it carries, the sense that it belongs wherever it is placed, comes from a precise alignment of purpose and form.
At the center of that form is an acid-treated glass diffuser. The treatment scatters light evenly across a room or terrace, eliminating glare without dimming the quality of illumination. A polypropylene shade wraps the diffuser, offering weather and UV resistance while defining the lamp's distinctive silhouette from any angle.
What distinguishes Mia is what Charlot chose not to hide. The wire frame structure beneath the shade remains fully visible, a spare graphic gesture that gives the lamp presence without weight. Against an open terrace, a garden, or an interior wall, it reads with the clarity of a drawn line.

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.
