Each component reflects a story of devotion, culture, and skilled hands
The Rangavalli Glass Backrest is a masterpiece of both structure and artistry. Each panel is carefully set with textured green and blue glass, reminiscent of the stained glass windows found in Kerala’s grandest homes and temples. As sunlight passes through, the backrest comes alive with shifting patterns of color, creating a dynamic, ever-changing backdrop that enlivens the entire room. The wooden framework, with its geometric design, provides both strength and a sense of order, balancing the playful spirit of the glass with the dignity of tradition.
The Prakasha Armrests are designed to be both supportive and visually striking. Each arm features matching colored glass panels, echoing the backrest and extending the play of light and color to the very edges of the bench. The gentle curve of the arms offers ergonomic comfort, while the glass insets create a sense of openness and invitation. These armrests are not just functional—they are a celebration of Kerala’s love for light, artistry, and hospitality.
The Deepa Base is the luminous heart of the Rangavalli Bench. Named after “Deepa,” the Sanskrit and Malayalam word for lamp or light, this wide, polished seat is designed to radiate warmth and welcome. Its smooth surface invites you to sit, relax, and bask in the glow of tradition. The Deepa Base is crafted for both comfort and durability, ensuring that every moment spent here is bright, restful, and full of the gentle energy that only true craftsmanship can provide
The Manjari Turned Legs are a nod to Kerala’s rich woodworking heritage. Each leg is robust and beautifully turned, providing a stable foundation for the bench while adding a touch of sculptural elegance.

These legs ensure that the Rangavalli Bench stands strong and proud, ready to support generations of gatherings.
The Swarna Brass Fittings are the finishing touch that ties the entire piece to Kerala’s oonjal (swing) tradition. Crafted from gleaming brass, these hooks and hardware elements add a vintage charm and a sense of authenticity. They recall the days when such benches would swing gently in the breeze of a grand verandah, filling the air with laughter and conversation. The Swarna fittings are both decorative and functional, ensuring that the Rangavalli Bench is as practical as it is beautiful.
