Our seats are made of hides and furs. These are living materials that evolve over time. Hide is a naturally impermeable material which makes it very easy to clean.
Vacuuming your seat regularly. If stained, scrub the area with cold water only, without detergent or washing powder, you will risk changing the integrity of our products.
If your furniture has deteriorated, our Atelier is able to respond to your request for your product repair and restoration. We invite you to contact our sales department.
Paying attention to where you place your seat will contribute to its longevity. It should be protected from damp and prolonged exposure to light.
Choose natural colours if you are exposed to strong sunlight, especially in the mountains, as they do not fade. If you opt for tinted skins, install anti-UV filters on the windows.
However, our tinted skins may lose colour saturation and fade slightly over time.
WORKSHOP SECRET
The Åke armchair is one of the oldest models produced by the famous Swedish company IKEA.
Produced between 1952 and 1956, its design was inspired by Arnold Madsen's Clam Chair (long attributed to designer Philip Arctander), although the exact identity of its creator remains unknown to this day.
IKEA (1943 – today)
Founded in 1943 by Ingvar Kamprad, is a Swedish company famous for its do-it-yourself kit furniture. The name IKEA comes from the founder's initials and the names of his farm (Elmtaryd) and the nearby village (Agunnaryd).
Some vintage pieces from the 1950s-1990s, such as Gillis Lundgren's Impala armchair and Karin Mobring's Admiral armchair, are highly sought-after today. Mobring, nicknamed ‘the first lady of IKEA design’, created iconic pieces, while Lundgren, inventor of the kit furniture, created much sought-after retro designs.
