Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien occupy a singular position in contemporary design, fluent in both artisanal craft traditions and industrial precision. Their practice draws equally from South Asian making cultures and European modernism, producing objects that feel both rooted and forward-looking. The Cala Armchair takes its form from the geometry of the cala flower. Its organic silhouette is rendered through a precisely woven backrest, a structure that filters light and casts shadow with the same attention a sculptor might bring to negative space. The chair reads as a considered object rather than simply a seat. Designed by Doshi Levien for Kettal Botanical silhouette expressed through structured weave construction Engineered to resist sun, salt air, and seasonal exposure Produced at Kettal's Barcelona facility under rigorous material standards Kettal's manufacturing heritage in Barcelona brings a discipline to outdoor furniture that is rarely matched. Frames and weaves are engineered to hold their form across years of exterior use, without softening the sculptural intention of the original design. The Cala belongs to an exterior conceived around proportion and atmosphere.
