Info about the product

The lounge chair is designed for those who enjoy spending time outdoors in the garden. With a warm blanket and a cup of tea in the early spring sunshine. Or with a book and a cold drink on a hot summer’s day. FDB Møbler has created a garden chair with many of the same qualities as its indoor lounge chair. A relaxed and comfortable chair, yet with the same classic lines and simple, understated design that characterises furniture from FDB Møbler. Thomas Alken, who has designed the entire ‘Sammen’ series, has for many years been designing lounge chairs which represent challenging and new takes on the designs of the greatest Danish furniture designers. However, this is his first lounge chair for outdoor use.

Alken himself says that he thinks his furniture from a modern folk, just as FDB Møbler has always done. His furniture is both stylish and functional, and from a simple and light design his furniture achieves a natural beauty that gives them a timeless expression that becomes more beautiful over the years. With his great sense of functionality, you not only sit well in Thomas E. Alken's furniture, you also feel at home in them. Like Børge Mogensen, and former furniture designers at FDB, he is based on the human body and movements, so that the furniture reflects human social dimension. Not only should a chair look nice, it must also be comfortable to sit in.

Wooden furniture - General

At FDB Møbler we are proud to offer furniture that is handmade and made from natural materials, giving each product its own unique character. Please note that due to these handmade processes and natural materials, slight variations in size, shape, grain structure and color may occur between different productions.

Wood can be affected by humidity, air temperature and sunlight over extended periods. Always protect the wood from hot objects such as pots and candles and potted plants that can give off moisture.

To avoid color differences caused by light, it is recommended not to have permanent decorations on the table such as placemats or vases for the first month, regardless of the type of wood furniture.

Care and maintenance of oiled wood

When cleaning, wipe the furniture with a firmly wrung cloth with warm water. Wipe up spilled liquids immediately to avoid stains.

Regular care and maintenance of the wood will ensure the longevity of your furniture. For surface maintenance, it is recommended to treat the wood with furniture oil 2-4 times a year or as needed. First clean with a hard-wrung cloth and let it dry. If the wood grain is raised, lightly sand the surface with 220 grit or higher. Then follow the instructions for the chosen oil, starting in a less visible area if necessary.

IMPORTANT:

When surface treating a worktop, it is important to remember to treat both sides, otherwise there is a risk that the solid wood will warp.
When surface treating wicker furniture, be careful not to hit the paper wicker with the oil.
It is important to wipe off any excess oil on furniture after the recommended drying time, otherwise it will leave the furniture with a greasy surface.
After using rags or sponges, it is important to place them in a plastic bag with water and close them airtight before throwing them away, as the oil can make them self-igniting. Please follow the oil manufacturer's instructions for proper disposal.

Care and maintenance of wicker

Paper yarn is treated with a thin layer of wax, which makes the paper yarn more resistant. As it is a natural material, a darker patina will appear over time.

If spilled on the paper, remove as much of the liquid as possible with a dry, colorless cloth. Then dab the stain lightly with a firmly wrung cloth. Avoid rubbing the stain and do not use chemicals, detergents or cleaning agents. Discoloration of the paper yarn can occur from spills of strong liquids such as red wine, fruit juice, strongly colored food or contact with non-colorfast clothing. If desired, use a cushion to protect the paper yarn.

Care and maintenance of upholstery - Leather

When using genuine leather, no two cuts will be the same as the skin can be marked by scars and wrinkles.

Protected leather:

With this type of leather, a surface treatment is used to ensure a uniform color and surface. Wipe up spilled liquids as soon as possible and wipe with a dry cloth if necessary. Make sure to wipe the entire surface, otherwise stains may form. To finish the leather, use soap shavings. This is done by whipping the shavings with a little demineralized water and then using the foam to apply to the leather. When the leather is dry, wipe with a firmly wrung cotton cloth.

Core leather:
With this type of leather, the surface is untreated, which emphasizes the unique beauty of the leather. As it is an untreated natural material, a unique patina will appear over time and natural drying of the leather may occur. Wipe up spilled liquids as soon as possible and wipe with a dry cloth if necessary. Make sure to wipe the entire surface, otherwise stains may form. For leather finishing, use leather cleaner and leather cream. Follow the instructions on the specific product.
