Including Michael Anastassiades' Ringer and Superfan collections
Andreas Murkudis is the founder and curator of the eponymous space in Berlin, which recently unveiled a new exhibition dedicated to Michael Anastassiades, titled “Other Than Lights,” on October 12.

The Ringer Collection is Kettal's first collaboration with Michael Anastassiades, featuring minimalist café furniture inspired by horseshoes. Its armchair invites seating with a unique armrest design that ensures structural integrity.
The Superfan complements this with over 30 customizable colors, perfect for any space. Available in two versions, it offers six adjustable speeds and an IP65 rating for outdoor use. Together, these collections showcase Anastassiades’ innovative approach and Kettal's design excellence.

We have also worked on environmental and aesthetic aspects. We tried to flee from a cold space, to create a pleasant, warm atmosphere, closer to that of a meeting room or a room at home, rather than the coldness of an elevator car, as happens in many of these objects.
Technology is an important factor. For Kettal, technology is not an end, but a means to facilitate use. Everything is electronically controlled: scene creation systems, table height adjustment, ventilation control, connectivity... everything is intentionally hidden. Even the interaction controls simulate the knobs on old Hi-Fi equipment. The reason in not nostalgic, but to emphasise that this cabin is a simple and pleasant space, where the main technology is provided by the user with his devices. However, a touch screen control system is also available for more tech-savvy users.
The Kall family is available in several sizes. “S” is the most basic and standard, with space for a stool, “M” accommodates a low armchair, and “L” is 30 cm wider and allows a swivel armchair to be installed as if it were a lounge room, for a much more relaxed working posture. And then there is the four-seater “XL” version. All of them are modular and can be joined together to create special configurations as required.
