Microfibre Suede

Tobacco

Cacao

Chestnut

Microfibre suede is a hardwearing man-made fabric with a luxurious soft texture. Our microfibre suede is top of the line with superfine threads that give our fabric the lightest and softest feel, as well an abrasion resistance of 100,000 rubs Martindale, making it more resistant to wear and tear than any other microfibre suede on the market. By definition a microfibre is a very thin fibre that is less than 1 denier, while the microfibres used to make our fabric are called super microfibres, as they are as fine as .001 denier. While the texture of the fabric is noticeably superior, these super microfibres make our fabric slightly more absorbent than lower end versions, thus more care and attention is needed. Remove dust regularly by vacuuming. The best protection against stains is prevention. If you spill on the fabric, it is important to ACT QUICKLY. Watery stains: Absorb as much liquid as possible with a cloth first without pressing. With a damp cloth (and if necessary a mild soap heavily diluted with lukewarm water), pat the stain clean, then wipe the entire surface area of the section of furniture containing on the stain. For example, if the stain is on a sofa seat cushion, clean the entire surface of the cushion. Thick stains (such as jam): Remove the worst with a spoon rather than a cloth. Then follow watery stain cleaning instructions. Use a hairdryer to dry the fabric thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water stains. Restore pile once the fabric is dry by brushing gently. Always allow the fabric to dry before using again. Professional dry cleaning is recommended for more engrained stains.

Microfibre Silk

Brass

Copper

Zinc

Our Microfibre Silk is a man-made fabric that is luxuriously silky to the touch, surprisingly stain-resistant, and exceptionally durable with an abrasion resistance of 100,000 rubs Martindale. Remove dust regularly by vacuuming. Please note that vacuuming should be done with the proper attachments to avoid breaking the fibres and contributing to "pilling". In addition to regular vacuuming, a professional cleaner should come in at least once or twice a year to thoroughly clean the fabrics and remove the soiling that a normal vacuum cleaner cannot reach. The best protection against stains is prevention. If you spill on the fabric, it is important to ACT QUICKLY. Watery stains: Absorb as much liquid as possible with a cloth first. Do not dry stain completely or it may set. With a damp cloth (and if necessary a mild soap heavily diluted with lukewarm water), begin brushing the stain with light quick strokes. Start at outside of stain and work towards centre. Be careful not to over-saturate. Do not rub too vigorously or you may damage the fibres. Once the stain is removed, soak up all remaining cleaning solution and use another clean cloth or sponge dipped in cool water to remove any residue that will attract further soiling. Allow the fabric to dry thoroughly then vacuum before using. Professional dry cleaning is recommended for more engrained stains. For oily stains, follow the watery stains procedure, but use an appropriate dry-cleaning spray instead of soapy water. Always test on an inconspicuous area of the fabric first to be sure there are no adverse reactions.

Finished Leather

Dune

Ivory

Chocolate

Liquorice

Chai

Finished leather is soft and supple and easy to maintain. Occasionally vacuum furniture upholstered in leather. To clean, wipe leather with a damp cloth and a mild soap and be careful to avoid soaking. Products designed to feed the leather produce a sticky surface that attracts dust and dirt from continued use so we do not recommend them. Avoid excessive heat and if possible direct sunlight as these will dry the leather.

All our fabrics are dry clean only but will benefit from regular vacuuming, except for pieces with feather fillings. These must not be vacuumed but we suggest regular dusting. Always consult a professional dry cleaner for advice.

Naked Leather

Leather for Studioilse products only

Brown

Black

Naked leather is soft and supple. Occasionally vacuum furniture upholstered in leather. Blot up spills immediately. To clean, wipe entire surface with a damp cloth. Do not soak or spot-rub. Dry thoroughly to avoid water marks. Products designed to feed the leather produce a sticky surface that attracts dust and dirt from continued use so we do not recommend them. Avoid excessive heat and if possible direct sunlight as these will dry the leather.

Perforated Automotive Suede - for Cargo and Coracle Chairs only

Merino

Mulberry

Sand

Anthracite

Our perforated grain-sueded leather is soft and supple. Occasionally vacuum. Blot up spills immediately. Dry brush occasionally. Remove general soilage with a suede cleaning block. Avoid excessive heat and if possible direct sunlight as these will dry the leather.

Velvet

Aubergine

Moss

Mushroom

Navy

Our natural cotton velvet is exceptionally soft, breathable and hardwearing with an abrasion resistance of 100,000 rubs Martindale, but requires delicate care. Vacuum regularly to remove dust using the appropriate attachment. For cleaning, we recommend professional dry cleaning only. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight as this may cause the fabric to fade.

Wool is a natural fibre with a number of excellent qualities and unique properties. Suitable for all climates, the wool fibres adapt easily to room temperature, having a cooling effect in warm rooms and a warming effect in cold rooms. The fibres are elastic so they tolerate compression and stretching better than any other materials. Wool will always seek to regain its original shape, and therefore woollen textiles are highly resistant to wear and will show few signs of creasing. Our Wool Tweed has an abrasion resistance of 80,000 rubs Martindale and our Wool Flannel has a resistance of 45,000 rubs. Wool naturally repels dirt thanks to its unique structure of fibres and to the fact that it is not prone to static electricity. Intrinsically flame retardant, wool has a very high ignition temperature and chars rather than drips or melts. Regularly vacuum or air furniture upholstered in wool. Stains: Act quickly. Wipe from the outside to the centre of the stain. Absorb as much as possible with a clean light coloured cloth. If the stain is thick such as jam, remove the worst with a spoon rather than a cloth. A foam upholstery cleaner should be used. Take care never to saturate the wool fabric. Never use undiluted cleaning agents, bleaching agents, ammonia or soap intended for hard surfaces. Always allow the fabric to dry before using again. Professional dry cleaning is advised for more engrained stains.

Linen

Linen is made of natural fibres from the stems of a flax plant. It is hypo-allergenic with a hand-woven, rustic quality that is subtly luxurious and simultaneously utilitarian. Our Linen has an abrasion resistance of 28,000 rubs Martindale. The fibre of the flax filament is long and smooth which gives this fabric great tensile strength and a minimal tendency to stretch. This smoothness also allows dry dirt to be easily removed. Professional dry cleaning is advised for more engrained stains.

All our fabrics are dry clean only but will benefit from regular vacuuming, except for pieces with feather fillings. These must not be vacuumed but we suggest regular dusting. Always consult a professional dry cleaner for advice.
