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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Kettal Mia light suitable for outdoor use year-round?
Yes. The Mia is designed specifically for outdoor environments, with a UV-resistant polypropylene shade and an acid-treated glass diffuser that can withstand the elements. It is rated for exposed terrace and garden use across seasons.
What is the difference between the Mia table lamp and floor lamp?
Both share the same design vocabulary, including the acid-treated glass diffuser, polypropylene shade, and wire frame structure. The floor lamp is scaled for ambient presence in open spaces, while the table version suits more intimate settings or smaller surface placements.
Who is Michel Charlot and what is his design background?
Michel Charlot is a French industrial designer known for work that bridges functional rigor and refined aesthetics. He has collaborated with several leading European furniture and outdoor brands, developing products that balance formal clarity with material pragmatism.
What kind of light quality does the acid-treated glass diffuser produce?
Acid treatment creates a frosted surface on the glass that scatters light evenly in all directions, eliminating hotspots and glare. The result is a soft, ambient glow well suited to outdoor dining areas, lounge terraces, and interior spaces alike.
Can the Kettal Mia be used indoors as well as outdoors?
Its weather-resistant construction makes it equally appropriate indoors. Many designers specify the Mia for covered loggias, sunrooms, or interior spaces where its graphic wire silhouette and diffused light quality complement both contemporary and transitional settings.
