Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Canada, Ratana has been making premium outdoor furniture long enough to have earned a quiet confidence about it. Their catalog spans the full range of refined outdoor living — aluminum lounge and dining pieces with clean, considered proportions, and all-weather wicker collections that feel more like thoughtful indoor furniture than traditional patio fare. The materials are engineered for full outdoor exposure — UV-stabilized, moisture-resistant, built for the seasons — but the aesthetic decisions are driven by design first.
Design as the Starting Point
What sets Ratana apart within the luxury segment isn't a single material or finish — it's a consistency of restraint. Their pieces tend toward the quietly considered: proportions that photograph well, shapes that age without dating themselves, frames that let the cushion fabric do some of the talking. The collection covers sofas, dining sets, outdoor sofas, club chairs, and chaise lounges, all built to the same commercial-grade standard. Known for using premium materials including all-weather wicker, powder-coated aluminum, and high-performance fabrics, Ratana pieces are engineered to withstand the elements while holding their look year after year.

Ratana is headquartered in Canada and was founded there in 1980. Their furniture is designed with a strong emphasis on quality control and long-term durability — built to the standards expected in commercial and high-end residential applications across North America.
Ratana builds primarily in powder-coated aluminum and all-weather HDPE wicker. Aluminum frames are rust-proof and finished in a range of powder-coat colors. Wicker is synthetic resin — UV-stabilized and moisture-resistant, with none of the fading or cracking that natural rattan develops outdoors. Cushions across the collection are compatible with Sunbrella and other high-performance outdoor fabrics.
Yes. Ratana backs their frames with a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Specific warranty terms vary by product line — our team can confirm coverage details for any piece you're considering. As an authorized Ratana dealer, Patio Productions handles warranty support on your behalf.
Ratana's distinguishing characteristic is design restraint. Their silhouettes are considered and clean — proportions that complement a wide range of outdoor spaces without dominating them. This makes Ratana a strong choice for customers who want luxury-tier construction and materials but prefer a refined, understated aesthetic over ornate detailing. The collection is consistently versatile across both contemporary and transitional settings.
Aluminum frames and wicker weave can be cleaned with mild soap, water, and a soft brush — rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pressure washers on wicker. Sunbrella cushion covers can typically be removed and machine-washed on a gentle cycle. In harsh winter climates, protective furniture covers extend the life of cushions significantly; the frames themselves require no seasonal storage.
