Ringer
Made by Kettal
Designed by Michael Anastassiades
The Ringer dining chair marks Michael Anastassiades's first collaboration with Kettal, a meeting of two sensibilities shaped by precision and restraint. Anastassiades, born in Cyprus and trained as a civil engineer before becoming one of London's most considered product designers, brings his characteristic attention to geometry and silhouette to the outdoor context.
The chair's name nods to the game of horseshoes, and the reference is structural as much as poetic. The armrests arc over the legs in a gesture that reads simultaneously as catch and embrace, turning a functional joint into the defining visual moment of the piece.
- Cast from scratch-resistant, eco-friendly aluminum engineered for outdoor conditions
- Frame designed for easy stacking without compromising the chair's silhouette
- A formal vocabulary rooted in geometry, proportion, and the economy of a single arc
Where much outdoor furniture resolves the tension between durability and design through compromise, the Ringer refuses that trade-off. The arc is the answer: one continuous gesture that gives the chair its name, its structure, and its identity.
