CYBORG ELEGANT ARMCHAIR
CYBORG ELEGANT ARMCHAIR
Designed By Marcel Wanders Studio, 2012
The design of the Cyborg armchair is based on an industrial part consisting of the four very simple plastic legs, almost basic, deliberately “non-designed” and on an artisanal “designed” part, the backrest, which can be made of wicker, polycarbonate, solid wood or upholstered with covers in fine fabrics or in leather.
And tomorrow it could be made of other materials. It is precisely the backrest that dictates the chair’s expressive and aesthetic quality. Therefore, a never-ending design story.

DESIGN
In 1960 the scientist, inventor and musician Manfred Clynes coined the term cyborg, which then grew ever more popular thanks to innumerable sci-fi novels and films; it designates an organism that combines natural and artificial elements.
Marcel Wan ders Studio interprets this fusion as the expression of a continuous search for new combinations, in today’s world, where it seems there is nothing truly new left to invent. This is the background to the creation of Cyborg, a seat with a highly resistant and versatile polycarbonate shell.
The seat can then be completed with backrests in a selection of different natural or synthetic materials: from polycarbonate to wicker, from solid wood to the upholstered versions with fabric or leather cover. This further evolution of the chair is in equal parts poetic and technological, cosy and surprising, in keeping with the widest range of different settings.
PRODUCT CARE
CARE
For the plastic parts we recommend using a soft rag, either dry or wet. When needed, use ph-balanced soap diluted in water. For wicker parts we recommend using a soft brush or a wet chamois leather.
Small irregularities which might be visible on the surface and colours changes in time, should not be considered as faults, but on the contrary as results of the material nature. For the wooden part we recommend using cleaning products specifics for wood. Do not use abrasive sponges as they may leave scratches. For the upholstered versions: Daily care and immediate stain removal will ensure that your wool upholstery will keep looking good. It is normally sufficient to regularly vacuum and air upholstered armchair.
We suggest cleaning the wool fabric occasionally. Use a specific wool cleaning soap and follow the instructions carefully.Take care never to saturate the wool fabric. Never use undiluted cleaning agents, bleaching agents, ammonia or soap intended for hard surfaces.
As a general rule, many types of stain can be removed using lukewarm water. For greasy stains, use a dry stain remover. For more insoluble stains (chewing gum, candle wax, etc.), use a plastic bag filled with ice to rub the stain until the substance has become friable.
Use a clean flat blunt blade to delicately remove the substance. Be careful when using solvents, because these could dissolve the upholstery material beneath. For the leather version: regularly clean using a dry and soft rag. When needed, use products especially formulated for leather.
Immediately dry after the treatment. Where there was a stain of ink or similar, use only the specific stick that is commonly available on the market. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight or heat sources.
Do not use abrasive sponges as they may leave scratches or damage the product. Avoid using acidic products, solvents and products containing ammonia.
Avoid exposure to sunlight. Periodic and correct maintenance allows the product to keep its original aspect and lengthens the duration of its performance.
