Kettal Grand Bitta is the roomier branch of the Bitta line, drawn by Rodolfo Dordoni. It keeps aluminum frames wrapped in braided polyester cord and builds them into deep upholstered sofas, armchairs and a garden bed. Among aluminum outdoor furniture, it answers a specific wish: the look of rope, with the sit of an indoor couch.

the bitta braid, scaled up
In Dordoni's own words, the pieces should look light from a distance and feel like cozy nests up close, in natural colors that invite a long sit. Grand Bitta leans into the second half of that sentence. It keeps the aluminum frame and the braided polyester cord of the original line and gives the seating fabric upholstery, so the family reads as a living room set placed outdoors.
The range counts six pieces. Sofas come in a two seat length, a standard length and a three seat length. There is a garden armchair with armrests, a fabric chair with armrests and a garden bed for stretching out beside a pool. With three sofa sizes on offer, most seating areas can be furnished without a sectional, and the two chairs close the group.
Polyester cord shrugs off rain and dries once the sun returns, and the aluminum inside cannot rust. Upholstered seating lasts longer with covers or dry storage over a wet winter, while the frames can stay where they are. That split, a weatherproof structure with cushions that come in, is the usual routine for fabric sofas kept on an open terrace.
The teak and marble tables of the original Bitta line come from the same designer and the same frame thinking, so they sit comfortably beside these sofas. For a Kettal Grand Bitta quote, tell us the width of the wall or view the sofa will face and how many people usually sit together. We will suggest a length and a chair mix from this Kettal patio furniture family.

Catalog photographs of the collection in use.
Grand Bitta was drawn by Rodolfo Dordoni. The cord is braided densely enough to hold its shape yet loosely enough to let air through, like the ropes on a quay.
