Furnishing textiles & covers

Laxfjäll is an extremely hardwearing, EU-ecolabelled fabric from Gudbrandsdalen in Norway. The ecolabelling criteria take a lifestyle perspective from raw material to waste. To obtain approval, the product needs to meet high requirements in terms of the environment, health, function and quality. As with the Nordic Ecolabel, the criteria for the EU ecolabel are constantly getting tougher.

Care & laundry instructions

Dry clean only, do not chlorine bleach, do not tumble dry. Wool has a natural dirt-repellent surface which means that vacuuming is often all you need to refresh your covers. It is good for wool to be aired outdoors as the humidity gives it elasticity. When necessary, we recommend that wool covers are cleaned by a professional laundry/dry cleaner.

Care & laundry instructions

Do not chlorine bleach, do not tumble dry. Because Florian contains viscose, which is sensitive to water, we do not recommend washing in water. Instead we recommend that furnishing textiles are cleaned by a professional laundry/dry cleaner. Chenille has a napped surface and can therefore there is a tendency for pressure to leave marks where the nap has been squashed, resulting in colour variation. If this happens, use a soft brush and brush up the nap as far as you can. It is also possible to use a vacuum cleaner, but then the vacuum cleaner's brush nozzle must be used and the upholstery must be removed from the inner cushion.

Care & laundry instructions

In the first instance, we recommend that furnishing textiles are cleaned by a professional laundry/dry cleaner. Be aware that linen fabrics expand with use and shrink when washed in water (shrinking can be a particularly crucial issue with upholstered frames). The fabric can be washed at 30° C but with certain reservations. The fabric may shrink, and there may be a risk of it coming out with fold lines showing. After washing, the fabric may feel tight when put back on a cushion but it will regain its original shape after a while.

To avoid fold lines, we recommend soaking (for at least three hours) before a wet wash in a washing machine. Wash inner cushion covers separately. Stretch the seams out after washing, iron the fabric at a low temperature if necessary and place the cover back over the stuffing while still slightly damp. Do not tumble dry or bleach!

Snakeshead was created by William Morris in 1876 and was his own personal favourite inspired by Indian designs and English meadows. The pattern, originally printed on cotton, lives on today in this updated version.

We avoid dyeing our sheepskin and let it retain its natural colour. The colour will therefore vary depending on the sheep it came from. Our sheepskin spans all the shades of grey from light to dark.

  Sheepskin

Materials

100% vegetable tanned sheepskin

Care & laundry instructions

Air and shake the sheepskin outside. The sheepskin will absorb oxygen and become clean and fluffy. Fixed sheepskin upholstery can be sprayed with water to regain its curls. Clean it by carefully brushing with a cat brush. Stubborn stains can be removed by spraying the affected part of the sheepskin with water, massaging in potato flour, leaving to dry and vacuuming or brushing off.

Dunes is an aniline leather (cowhide), a through-dyed leather with open pores that has not been surface treated. The result produces a leather surface with natural texture and colour variation. Dunes is as smooth as velvet thanks to the time-consuming manufacturing process where the leather has been brushed and oiled with a specialist oil to achieve its unique, soft feel. We have deliberately used leather with a very rustic appearance. As well as marks from insect bites, it also incorporates scratches and pigment marks which are still visible – natural details that produce an honest sense of authenticity. Every hide is dyed individually, which means that the colour may vary somewhat from hide to hide.

Materials

Chrome-free, tanned leather from Sørensen in Denmark. Chrome-free tanning means that the leather is completely free of chrome, which is otherwise very common (a whole 90% of all leather produced in the world is tanned using chrome). Made from European raw hides originating from Scandinavia, Italy, Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Nordic ecolabelled

The leather collection from Dunes has been awarded the Nordic Swan Ecolabel. This certification means that Dunes meets the rigorous criteria of Nordic Ecolabelling in terms of sustainability, environmental impact and consumption of energy and resources.

Care & laundry instructions

Our leather ages beautifully, gaining a patina over time. Furniture with leather upholstery must not stand in sunlight as the light and the heat will dry out the leather and there is a risk of cracking.

Cleaning Dunes with soap and water or treating it with leather oil will not affect its quality but the matt surface of the leather will disappear. Otherwise we recommend vacuuming with a soft brush and wiping with a dry microfibre cloth. A very slightly damp (not wet) cloth is an alternative.

Vegetable tanned leather from Tärnsjö Garveri. Vegetable tanning means that the skins are free from toxins such as chrome, which is otherwise common. We have deliberately used leather where the marks from insect bites, etc. are visible. We think this adds an honest and authentic look.

Care & laundry instructions

Our leather ages beautifully, gaining a patina over time. Furniture with leather upholstery must not stand in sunlight as the light and the heat will dry out the leather and there is a risk of cracking. If necessary, use a microfibre cloth or a very slightly damp (not wet) cloth as moisture will dry out the leather.

For cleaning, we recommend Leather Master Soft Cleaner or a mild leather soap (Leather care is sold by Norrgavel). Some chemicals affect the leather finish and can make it more matt. Therefore, always test a cleaning product on a small hidden area before using it to clean a larger area.

For maintenance, we recommend Leather Master Protection Cream. Warm and dry air will dry the leather out if it is not treated regularly. Use a very sparing amount of leather oil or leather grease if needed.

We only use vegetable tanned reindeer hides for our upholstery. Vegetable tanning means that the hides are free from toxins such as chrome, which is otherwise common. So that the naturally hard reindeer hide can be used for furniture, it is softened in a process called fulling.

Reindeer hide will age and become darker over time and gain a beautiful patina. Don’t worry, therefore when your new reindeer hide-clad furniture looks like “pink pigskin”. To give the new hide a darker tone and a more stain-resistant surface, we recommend treating it with Ekol leather oil.
If necessary, use a microfibre cloth or a very slightly damp cloth (not wet as moisture will dry out the leather). Marks should be absorbed (don’t rub) with a clean sponge. Use water and a mild soap solution, or leather cleaner, but make sure that the entire surface is moistened to avoid differences in colour. Leave to dry and re-oil.
