Dezeen Showroom: architect Rodolfo Dordoni took visual cues from the ropes used to moor boats when designing the Grand Bitta seating collection for the Spanish brand Kettal.

Designed for use indoors and outdoors, the Grand Bitta seats are characterised by braided polyester cords and large cushions that Dordoni has used to conceal aluminium frames.

"My aim was to create dense braiding that would still let the air through, reminiscent of the braiding of the ropes used to moor boats, which makes the pieces look lightweight," said Dordoni.

"At the same time, they look just like cosy nests in natural colours to sit back and relax in."

The newly launched Kettal collection comprises six different styles of seating, ranging from a chair for one to a three-seater sofa, available with various upholstery options.

There are also modular components available without armrests, which allows them to be combined to create different arrangements suited to the user's needs.
