FAQs

What is the CH24 Wishbone Chair made of?

It is crafted from high-quality, FSC-certified beech wood with a seat hand-woven from durable paper cord.

Is the paint used on the Soft Edition safe?

Yes, it uses non-toxic, water-based paints that provide a soft, matte finish while revealing the wood grain.

Can I replace the paper cord seat?

Yes, because the seat is hand-woven by skilled artisans, it can be professionally re-woven if it becomes worn over many years of use.

Is the chair suitable for outdoor use?

No, this chair is designed exclusively for indoor use to protect the integrity of the wood and the paper cord.

How do I clean the wooden frame?

Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, but ensure you wipe it dry immediately.

What is the significance of the Y-back design?

The Y-back provides essential support to the lower back and shoulder blades, allowing for an upright and comfortable seating posture.

Troubleshooting

Wobbling on uneven floors

Check if your floor is level. If the floor is level, ensure the chair is on a flat surface and consider using thin felt pads under the feet to stabilize.

Spills on the paper cord seat

Immediately blot the area with a dry, absorbent cloth. Do not rub, as this pushes the liquid deeper into the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This chair arrives fully assembled as a result of expert craftsmanship. When placing the chair, ensure it is on a level surface to prevent uneven weight distribution on the legs. For care, regularly dust the wooden surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. To protect the paper cord seat, avoid cleaning it with water or chemical agents; if a spill occurs, blot it immediately with a clean, dry cloth without rubbing. Avoid placing the chair in extremely humid environments or areas with direct exposure to intense heat sources like radiators, as this may affect the wood's integrity and the tension of the woven cord.
