Name: Loden Outdoor Club Armchair Teak with Seat and Backrest Cushion
Brand: Kettal

Kettal revives the LODEN collection. Originally designed for Gavina in 1961, Loden is a series featuring an armchair and a sofa with a lacquered wood frame made with four cylinder-section legs and a tilted seat, also made of wood, with curved armrests whose design is similar to the profile of the armrests of the Carimate chairs.

The seat and backrest are upholstered in fabric. Dino Gavina, a Bolognese businessman, started producing new furniture in the mid-50s by collaborating with well-known designers and put back into producing furniture by Breuer, a renowned designer in NY, like the Cesca and Wassilly chairs.

The Loden series by Magistretti is part of the collections produced by Gavina in the 60S.
