Celebrating solid timber and gentle curves, the Portland collection is inspired by nature and hand-crafted to perfection.
Portland, Victoria, is a coastal town where rugged cliffs embrace the sea. It is also the inspiration behind Justin Hutchinson’s latest collection for Kett Furniture. Cementing Kett’s commitment to creating meaningful connections between place and product, the natural landscape of Portland is echoed in the materiality, form and techniques used to create the collection.
Showcasing the profound influence of “place” within Justin’s designs — and Kett’s ethos of connecting buyers with the natural world through its collections of indoor and outdoor furniture — the Portland range embodies the brand’s affinity with Australian landscapes, and the idea of being ‘inside looking out’.
Featuring dining tables, seating and a series of refined coffee tables, the Portland collection draws on tones, textures and silhouettes of the rugged headlands, bays and landmarks that define this iconic region.
Exceptional quality and local craftsmanship define the Portland collection, with Kett’s unwavering devotion to quality ensuring these products can be cherished and passed down from one generation to the next.
Exploration of Portland’s landscape has also inspired an expansion of Kett’s finishes. Timber stains Natural, Light Walnut, Exhibition and the new Smoked Oak reveal the beauty of the natural grain. New lacquers in subdued tones City, Mangrove and Ocean provide a consistent contemporary finish while retaining an echo of the grain within.
As with all Kett furniture, the Portland collection is designed to be used well beyond a single design cycle. The aesthetically alluring collection is a stunning example of Kett’s dedication to collaborating with local craftspeople. In this way, Kett’s furniture not only enhances spaces but also encourages a shift toward slow furniture, promoting sustainable choices and active support for local designers.
Establishing a distinct connection with our landscape, the shapes, finishes and upholstery are all influenced by the tones and textures found in Portland.
