Construction Behind Comfort

When it comes to sofa construction there are several seating options. Most furniture seeking a sleek, clean contemporary look uses Pirelli webbing or sinuous no-sag spring construction. The oldest system, 8 way hand tied coil suspension, is rarely used in modern furnishings. Pirelli is a no steel, lightweight webbing that is attached directly to the frame and woven together providing a firm European style seat that offers plenty of support.

Sinuous no-sag springs are composed of tempered steel that is placed in a zig-zig pattern to help distribute tension.  These springs provide a softer, more flexible seat.

Quick & Easy Care Tips for Your Organic Furniture

Now that you have your new organic, sustainable, and sophisticated furniture, here are a few tips on how to care for these modern furnishings:

  • Blot spills or moisture from furniture as quickly as possible.

  • To clean, wipe the furniture with a dampened, soft, clean cloth.

  • An occasional cleaning with a reliable product (i.e. Murphy’s Oil Soap) will enhance the fine non-toxic factory finish. AVOID oil, wax, or silicone-based products that might build up over time and attract dust.

  • If a scratch occurs, use a good quality wood wax or furniture stain marker that closely matches the color of your furniture.
