Leather Care

Leather is a natural product and variations in color can occur, along with minor flaws such as scars. We therefore recommend that you look after your chair by not exposing it to direct sunlight or placing it too close to a heat source, such as a radiator, which will cause the leather to dry.

To remove any dust and dirt we recommend vacuuming with a soft brush. To remove simple stains (water soluble) please use a soft cloth or sponge with a little water.
