Care instructions:
Proper usage and maintenance are vital for getting the most out of the valuable resources we have. Skagerak's designs are made to last for generations, but just like everything else, they need a little care to get there.
For the cushion:
Thie wool cushion is made from mélange yarns, with each thread consisting of three different colours. The result is an irregular colour-play across the surface of the fabric. Woven from an elastic combination of 90% wool and 10% Nylon, Remix 2 is highly abrasion-resistant, lightfast and flame retardant. The wool gives it a sublime comfort due to its softness and ability to absorb/give off humidity.
Maintenance:
Vacuum the upholstery regularly. Remember to use a proper attachment to avoid pilling.
Cleaning:
The Remix 2 upholstery may only be dry-cleaned. However, most spots can be removed with lukewarm water and a mild wool detergent. We recommend to treat stains immediately. Also, it is a good idea to test on a small spot before beginning the cleaning process. Use only a small amount of detergent and dry up with an absorbent cloth after.
Fibre Wadding is made of carded thin polyester fibres that contain air in between the fibres. The entrapped air creates the ability to insulate and to provide a soft comfort feeling in the cushion.
In order to keep the fibres and cushion full of air, be sure to shake the cushion occasionally.
For the oak wood:
Oak grows in most temperate zones. The Skagerak oak comes from European forests and is either 100% FSC certified or FSC mix certified, supporting sustainable forest management. The selection of the wood is extremely careful and all processing is by hand, so that only the best and most durable pieces of wood are used in production. Oak is a sturdy and hardwearing type of wood containing natural tannins that will protect against bacterial growth. Combined with its light, elegant colour and well-defined grains, this makes oak wood safe choice for high-quality interior.
Cleaning:
The wood comes with no finish. If you choose not to treat it with soap or oil, use a suitable cleaning agent for wood.
Maintenance:
As the wood is untreated it may be affected by grease and colorants. For this reason, we recommend saturating the wood with soap or a suitable furniture oil to make it more resistant. If you wish to use soap or oil, use a suitable product. Be aware that the wood will change colour when applying soap or oil.
