RANA: Sleek in form, soft in contours
RANA is an aluminium chair base with character. It’s designed for those who care not only about performance but also about how a form feels and behaves in space. The signature rounded legs soften the overall silhouette, creating a friendly and accessible look without compromising precision or structural integrity. Ideal for lounge chairs, ottomans, and armchairs in hospitality, premium residential, and office interior projects.
Design details
While many chair bases lean toward a modern, angular aesthetic, RANA introduces a more organic touch. The result is a visual calm that complements a wide range of interior styles. Every curve and transition is carefully crafted to establish a distinctive design.
The rounded legs are an intentional design decision to bring softness to the base, without compromising technical strength or function.
Material & Finish
RANA is made from high-quality aluminium: lightweight yet exceptionally strong, allowing for a base that performs under pressure while preserving a refined appearance. Choose from three finishes that combine durability and design:
• Polished aluminium: a subtle sheen that enhances the fluidity of the form
• Black powder-coated (fine texture): for a matte, modern appearance
• Uncoated: suitable for powder coating in any RAL colour, also in combination with a spindle cover.
Sizing & Flexibility
With three available diameters (680, 750, and 820 mm), this chair base fits a wide range of seating, from compact stools to generous armchairs. The aluminium base is compatible with various spindle solutions with a conus 50, and the spindle covers create a seamless transition from base to shell. This allows the height to be precisely adjusted to the design, providing maximum flexibility in creating high-quality, distinctive furniture pieces. The subtle, integrated glides protect floors without compromising the sleek, modern design.
