DESIGN 

“I wanted to try working on a chair that has a simple cross junction of two U-shaped legs. Then I wanted to put a simple shell on top. Combining the bending details of the legs and the bottom curve of the shell of this chair creates such a friendly feeling. It is common to have a chair with a shell and legs that extend off the shell whereas this bending detail on Substance gives a fresh quality. I believe we have successfully produced a sustainable chair”

PRODUCT CARE 

We recommend using a soft rag, either dry or wet. When needed, use ph-balanced liquid soap diluted in water. Do not use abrasive sponges, as they may leave scratches. Avoid using acidic products, solvents and products containing ammonia. Periodic maintenance and cleaning allows the product to keep its original look and lengthens the duration of its performance.
