FAQ

How should I care for and protect leather furniture?+
Regular maintenance is essential to preserve the natural beauty of leather furniture. Dust weekly with a soft cloth and condition the leather every 6–9 months using a pH-balanced leather conditioner. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources, which can cause cracking and discoloration. For spills, blot immediately with a clean cloth — never rub, as rubbing spreads stains.
How do I prevent rust and care for metal furniture?+
Keep metal surfaces dry and wipe away moisture immediately. Powder coating or chrome plating on steel furniture provides extra protection. Check regularly for scratches or surface damage and repair them promptly to prevent rust formation. For chrome-plated parts, use a mild cleaning agent — aggressive chemicals can damage the chrome layer.
How do I clean fabric upholstery and remove stains?+
Check the cleaning code on your furniture label — codes (W, S, WS, X) indicate safe cleaning methods. Vacuum weekly with an upholstery attachment and rotate cushions regularly. For stains, blot immediately with a clean white cloth — never rub. For water-safe fabrics (W or WS codes), use mild soap and cool water.
What are the differences between aniline, semi-aniline, and pigmented leather?+
Aniline leather is dyed throughout with no protective layer, offering a natural feel but susceptible to stains and fading. Semi-aniline includes a light protective coat, balancing natural appearance with durability. Pigmented leather has a complete protective layer, making it the most stain-resistant and durable choice — ideal for high-use furniture.
What should I look for when choosing an ergonomic chair?+
A quality ergonomic chair should feature adjustable seat height so your knees are slightly below hip level and feet rest flat on the floor. Look for a padded seat with a waterfall edge that doesn't cut off circulation behind the knees. Lumbar support and adjustable armrests promote healthy posture during extended work sessions.
What makes mid-century modern design special?+
Mid-century modern (1940s–1960s) revolutionized furniture design with clean lines, organic forms, and functional aesthetics. The style combines traditional materials like wood with modern elements like metal, glass, and plastic. Designs by Eames, Jacobsen, and Wegner define this era's timeless elegance.
