Tips on how to preserve the looks of your furniture

In daily use, furniture is exposed to various strains caused by external factors such as body oils, perspiration, general wear and tear and colour transfer from clothing.

Material

 
1 / 3

Wood

Ekornes uses rotary-cut beech veneer in all its moulded furniture components. Lightly-steamed beech is used for solid wood components. The base of the recliner is made from 32 layers of European beech, one of the hardest woods available. The hardness of the wood makes the furniture extremely durable, and the timber we use is a renewable resource.

Beautiful and lively

In Stressless® production we carefully select between the many options of wood based on how each component will be used. Appearance, hardness, resistance, pliability, colour and structure are just some of the factors we take into consideration when choosing which material to use for a new product in the Stressless® collection.

Natural variations

Natural variations in wood are important because they give the furniture individuality and character. Variations in pattern, colour and texture make each item of furniture unique.Most wood types will change colour after unpacking. Different types of wood react differently to the exposure of light. Some might fade in colour, while other types go darker or get a more yellow or red hue. Some wood types will change character faster than others. It is important to note that sunlight triggers this process. The more sunlight, the more change in colour.
