This chair reminds me of one that I had the opportunity to sit and rest in while on a short visit to the Guernsey Island - a really beautiful place to visit during the summer (terribly cold and whiplashed in the winter). The island is almost halfway between England and France (actually a bit closer to France, but really quite English in make-up).

Guernsey Island played a significant role in World War II and was briefly occupied by the invading German army, till the tides turned and the ally's were able to reverse this and gain control. It's a romantic tuck-away, and a great place to get off the beaten track.

The small bed and breakfasts that dot the island are the perfect place to stop for a few nights. This is were we chanced upon this particular style of chair - big on comfort and homey and welcoming to look at. This comfortable chair is ideal to relax in and placed next to a lamp the perfect reading spot. One that is guaranteed to give you hours of comfort.

CARING FOR YOUR WOODEN FURNITURE

Wood is a natural material.

During warm, humid weather wood can expand.

During dry weather wood contracts. These seasonal variations are normal characteristics of wood.

Do not position in front of radiator, direct sunlight,

avoid direct heat, moist environments and not for outdoor use.

Do not use abrasive cleaners. Wipe wood with a damp cloth, followed by a dry cloth. Any spills should be removed immediately. Take care when moving the furniture.

To maintain the colour and quality of the wood used for indoor only.

MINDI WOOD

Mindi is a hardwood timber, coarse in texture and their colour varies from light to dark brown. Natural variations may occur adding a charm to each piece.

MAHOGANY WOOD

Mahogany is a hardwood timber, coarse in texture and their reddish-brown colour.

TEAK WOOD

Teak is a hardwood timber, coarse in texture and their colour varies from golden to brown colour.

Teak wood is typically used in our Outdoor Collection for more intricate joinery in our Indoor Furniture Colleciton. 

Leather & Vegan Leather:

Avoid sharp objects and excessive force to prevent scratches and tears.

Keep it out of direct sun to avoid fading.
Keep the design distanced from fireplaces and heating vents. High temperature and humidity can dry leather out.

We suggest you steer clear of wax, polish, soaps and oil leather cleaners. They can affect the finish or discolour the leather. For small spots and spills use a dampened, soft cloth and let it air dry. For oil, butter, or grease spills use a clean, dry using cloth. Do not use water. The spot should naturally sink into the leather and fade away. 

Apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent drying out. For scratches rub leather conditioner with your finger or a soft cloth.

For thorough cleaning, we suggest taking this piece to a leather specialist only.

Fabric:

The fabric has been treated for soil and stain resistance. If the fabric gets dirty, apply 10-20ml of detergent solution on top of the spot; use a soft bristle brush to clean the fabric. Softly clean with a clean cloth and cold water. Allow the fabric to air dry.

Water Hyacinth (Rope Weave) : 

The French Modernist Armchair - Natural is made from Water Hyacinth rope, a natural unprocessed product. Keep it clean by using normal white vinegar from your local supermarket, spray in low quantities directly into the weaving, and use a soft toothbrush to clean it. Dab dry with a clean towel and allow to completely air dry before using. Avoid using bleach.

Keep this material away from high-humidity areas for prolonged periods of time.
