Kettal TILOS Rope garden armchair with armrests

TILOS is a rope garden armchair with armrests designed by Antonio Citterio for Kettal in 2026.‎ Kettal introduces new additions to Tilos, further evolving the collection’s dialogue between tradition and contemporary outdoor living.‎ Rooted in the archetypal seating of the 1950s and 1960s, Tilos continues to reinterpret the language of bamboo and rattan through advanced manufacturing and refined materiality.‎ At the core of the collection remains its distinctive shell—formed by a metal structure and woven acrylic rope—designed to cradle generous cushions while ensuring durability and comfort.‎ This defining element now expands with the introduction of a new braided synthetic rope in a warm brown tone, enriching the collection’s tactile and visual depth while reinforcing its connection to natural references.‎ The modular system grows with the addition of new curved configurations, including 90º and 40º corner elements.‎ These pieces introduce greater fluidity and versatility, allowing compositions to adapt more organically to different spatial contexts—from expansive outdoor settings to more intimate arrangements.‎ Material exploration extends to the table collection, now available with ceramic tops and bases, offered alongside existing teak and aluminium structures.‎ These new finishes are applied across both dining and coffee tables, complemented by the introduction of a new round dining table and a side table, enhancing the collection’s flexibility across a wider range of uses.‎ Further reinforcing comfort and continuity, a new footrest accompanies the club chair, designed as a natural extension of the seating experience through shared proportions and cushioning.‎ With these additions, Tilos continues to evolve as a cohesive system—one that balances craftsmanship and innovation, structure and softness—bringing a sense of warmth, adaptability, and quiet sophistication to contemporary outdoor environments.‎
