Designer Furniture Castors for Montana

Clean lines, 42 colours and endless possibilities – the renowned Danish furniture manufacturer Montana speaks the language of design and opens the door to a unique world of shapes and contours.

The same high standards also apply to the furniture castors, which fit seamlessly into the company’s design concept while ensuring maximum flexibility. These castors for furniture were individually adapted by us to meet the customer’s specific requirements.

Specific requirements for castors

About a quarter of Montana office furniture is fitted with castors for furniture and the trend continues upwards. The company requires a solution which fits perfectly with the design language of the manufacturer while allowing the furniture to be moved easily. It is also essential to match the designer castors to the individual brief in terms of colour because Montana also supplies its chairs, side tables, shelves and cupboards in the 42 Montana colours.

Our smart mobility solution

The castor which meets the Montana specification exactly is the TENTE Linea. Like the furniture made by the Danish company, its design has also been recognised in many leading design competitions because form and function go hand in hand. As a twin-wheel castor it is the perfect choice for relatively heavy-duty applications. Its high-quality tread surfaces guarantee excellent running characteristics and minimal wear. There were, however, some details of the Linea which did not satisfy the design demands of the furniture manufacturer. Instead of the curved contour of the regular cap, Montana preferred a more minimalist solution. The height also needed to be adjusted. We were able to satisfy both requirements with tailor-made solutions. In close collaboration with the designers of the Danish company we developed a flat cap which fulfilled the Montana design brief down to the very last detail. The modified height of the small castors for furniture was also achieved through intensive consultation with Montana. Montana procures Linea in various sizes: 40 millimetres for its chairs and 65 or 75 millimetres for shelves, cupboards and tables. This range of castors also provides a firm base for the unique items in a broad spectrum of colours.

Made-to-measure designs for optimum processes

Our customised Linea reflects the exact design ideas of Montana and provides the optimum solution for the application in question because the cap can be finished in the required colour and can be fitted or replaced quickly and easily. The clip-in process is straightforward and the caps remain securely in place. They do not fall out and can easily be removed if necessary. Our solution therefore introduces virtually unlimited scope for design, increases the efficiency of the manufacturing process and contributes to flexible and customer-friendly after-sales service.
