Kettal furnishes the resort, Velaa Private Island

Spanish outdoor furniture firm Kettal has furnished the resort, Velaa Private Island. This is located to the north of Malé — the capital of the Maldive Islands — and is part of the archipelago of islands that make up the coral atoll of Noonu.

The new Velaa Private Island resort is a unique combination of internal and outdoor spaces where you can stay in a bungalow or in a romantic villa, each with its own secluded swimming pool, where you can enjoy the privacy, comfort and luxury offered by this exotic location — a paradise for lovers of diving, including scuba-diving. The architecture studio which designed the hotel complex chose Kettal’s Maia and Vieques collections, both designed by Patricia Urquiola, and Landscape range, created by Kettal’s in-house design team, to embellish it. Now armchairs, chairs, sofas, deckchairs, tables and swing chairs from all three lines grace the glamorous venue.

The Maia collection is made of tubular aluminium and a sophisticated, hand-woven fabric which give it an effortlessly elegant, unimposing look. Vieques fuses an aluminium frame with a new, ground-breaking, 3D fabric called ‘Nido D’Ape’, created exclusively for Kettal. Both collections reflect Urquiola’s taste for mixing innovative, high-tech materials with traditional, hand-crafted production processes. And the Landscape collection is made of aluminium coated in polyester powder.

Founded in 1964, the Kettal group is one of the world’s leading outdoor furniture companies. It sells its products, which international tastemakers have recommended for hotels and restaurants found in over 60 countries, thanks to their durability, elegance and the comfort they offer.
