About the collection
Arc explores the relationship between geometry and comfort through a continuous curved backrest that surrounds the user. A lightweight aluminum frame supports woven details and cushions, creating seating that balances craftsmanship, ergonomics, and contemporary outdoor durability.

The Arc lounge sits within Kettal's permanent outdoor catalog, a position Kettal has held as Spain's largest premium outdoor house, with a single-family ownership through three generations. Manufactured at Barcelona, Spain, Spain, since Kettal was established in 1964. Arc is produced in powder-coated aluminum, FSC teak, and proprietary outdoor textiles as part of Kettal's premium Spanish designer outdoor programme, with the configuration designed by Kettal Studio.
Kettal's lounge pieces are built around powder-coated aluminum, FSC teak, and proprietary outdoor textiles. For US trade specifiers, this means Arc carries the same material data sheets and US-trade documentation as the rest of the Kettal catalog: ASTM F1858 outdoor furniture compliance where applicable, fire-code classification on cushion components, and chain-of-shipment documentation supplied with the invoice. Bespoke fabric or finish substitutions are accepted on COM workflow with confirmed yardage at quote stage; see the Sunbrella and Outdura specifier reference for the workflow at the European factory.
Pricing for Arc at US trade typically falls between $4,000 to $18,000 per piece at US trade, before fabric grade, finish premium, and consolidated freight. Lead time is 8-12 weeks from Barcelona to US port for standard configurations; bespoke dimensions, COM upholstery, or large hospitality volumes extend by 4-8 weeks. The collection is specified in US hospitality outdoor (boutique hotel terraces, resort pool decks, restaurant outdoor dining) and in premium residential outdoor (lake-house, pool-house, rooftop terrace) installations.
Standard Arc configurations ship 8-12 weeks from Barcelona to US port. Bespoke dimensions or COM upholstery add 4-8 weeks. Hospitality projects above 50 pieces consolidate on a single container and follow the same standard timeline.
Yes. Kettal runs a verified US trade programme. Net trade pricing for Arc is shared after qualification (designer of record, project scope) and is set under the Kettal non-disclosure agreement applicable to all premium European outdoor specifiers.
Most Kettal collections, including Arc, accept COM upholstery and bespoke dimensions within manufacturer tolerance. See the FF&E procurement workflow for the full COM and bespoke sequence, including fabric yardage, factory shipping, and lead-time impact.
Kettal pieces require minimal maintenance: aluminum frames are powder-coated with marine-grade specification, FSC teak silvers naturally, and proprietary outdoor textiles are bleach-cleanable. Quarterly rinse with clean water and mild soap is the standard routine. Kettal frames carry a 5-year structural warranty; cushions and woven elements carry 2-3 years against UV. Service life in US hospitality installations is typically 15-20 years for the structural pieces and 6-10 years for soft goods, after which COM refresh extends the life cycle.
