A floor gets furnished in March and extended in September, and the second delivery is where projects go wrong. The Kuna range makes that easy to avoid, provided one habit is followed: the model code carries the mechanism, and the collection name carries nothing.
Nine codes cover three families. KUNA.708, .710 and .715 are fixed height with the auto-return mechanism. KUNA.709, .713 and .718 swivel and adjust in height. KUNA.714T, .717T and .719T adjust and add the tilt mechanism. Write «Kuna Chair, black leather» on a purchase order and any of the nine can arrive; write the code and only one can.
Two more lines finish the job: the aluminium finish, 47 polished or 55 chrome, which covers frame, base and armrests together, and the leather colour, one of four. Everything else stays constant across the range — 60 cm wide and 48 cm deep, with a leather panel held suspended around the padded structure. La Mercanti supplies Kuna Chair across India with samples and the finish schedule agreed before the order.
Collection: Kuna Chair
Manufacturer: ICF Office — ICF S.p.A., Vignate (Milan), Italy
Frame: steel tubular sections forming a rigid construction that holds its shape under considerable stress; exposed load-bearing elements in die-cast aluminium, finish 47 polished or 55 chrome; three back heights
Back and seat: leather panel wrapped around the padded load-bearing structure over variable-density polyurethane foam sheets; the panel remains suspended, distributing body weight evenly
Armrests: closed form in die-cast aluminium, finish matched to the frame; optional leather covering; can be omitted without compromising the integrity of the chair
Leather: four colours — S01 black, S02 white, S03 dark brown, S05 Bulgarian red
Models: KUNA.708, .710, .715 fixed height with auto-return mechanism; .709, .713, .718 swivel, height-adjustable; .714T, .717T, .719T height-adjustable with tilt mechanism
Dimensions: width 60 cm and depth 48 cm across all nine models; overall height from 83 to 133 cm depending on model and back height; seat height 48 cm on fixed-height models, 43-54 cm on adjustable models, 44-56 cm on tilt models
Height adjustment: pneumatic unit with lever, maximum travel 12 cm; gas lift compliant with EN 16955:2017
Auto-return mechanism: not height-adjustable; the swivel seat turns freely and returns automatically to the front-facing position; standard on four-star base models
Tilt mechanism: seat pivot point set well forward of the gas column axis to reduce pressure on the lower limbs while tilting; up to 13 degrees; side knob adjusts balance spring tension to the user's weight and sitting style; lever controls combine seat height, locking and unlocking the tilt in four positions, and the safety lock
Base: four or five-star in die-cast aluminium, chrome or polished to match the frame; with castors or glides
Castors and glides: castors in black plastic, 50 mm diameter, soft central element for use on any floor, safety brake compliant with EN 12529:2001, chromed zamak top cover; hard-tread castors available on request; glides in black nylon, 37 mm diameter, with a soft rubber central element
Weight and materials: approximately 12.4 kg; aluminium 48 percent, metal 28 percent, miscellaneous 24 percent; approximately 77 percent recyclable when components are separated completely and correctly; every component can be disassembled for repair, reuse and recycling; no formaldehyde and no hexavalent chromium; eco-design guidelines. Figures refer to model KUNA.708 and may vary by model, structural materials and finishes
Certification: EN 16139:2013 level 1, declaration of conformity no. 11108 of 13 January 2014 on KUNA 715 following tests to EN 16139, EN 1728 and EN 1335; ANSI-BIFMA X5.1, CATAS test report on KUNA MID BACK 708
Care: leather is a natural product and the wrinkles and scars on the grain attest to its origin and quality rather than being defects; avoid direct light so the leather does not dry out or harden. Aluminium: soft cloth with water and neutral soap, never solvents, thinners, alcohol, abrasive or chemical cleaners or polishing sprays; chrome aluminium keeps its brightness over time, polished aluminium undergoes a natural oxidation process. Only trained personnel may replace or repair the gas lift
Not declared by the manufacturer: load ratings, warranty terms, lead times
