CORONA CHAIR
CORONA CHAIR
Designed By Poul M. Volther
The Corona Chair is an eye-catching and experimental take on Danish design.
A stringent design with elliptically shaped, upholstered seat pads descending in size. It’s an intriguing approach that challenges conventional seating, resulting in Corona’s image as a design icon coveted the world over.

DESIGNER - POUL M. VOLTHER
Poul M. Volther was an important champion of Scandinavian functionalism. Although rooted in a rationalist design dogma and inspired by the purpose-driven mindset of the Bauhaus movement, Volther was eager to experiment with new methodologies. His unerring sense of detail and appreciation of material properties resulted in simple, stylised furniture with a subtle yet striking aesthetic.
CARE
STAINLESS STEEL BRUSHED OR POLISHED
-Make sure to wipe the steel with a dry cloth after washing the floor to avoid stains.
-Use a cleaning agent specifically designed for stainless steel when encountering tougher stains. Always follow the instructions closely when using a new product.
-DO NOT use any type of chlorine-based liquids on stainless steel, as this will cause corrosion.
POWDER COATED METAL
-Make sure to always wipe the metal frame after washing the floor to avoid stains.
-Stain Removal : Dust, dirt and grease: Wipe clean with a soft cloth firmly wrung in hot water containing a mild cleaning agent.
-Marks from shoe polish/rubber: Wipe clean with a soft cloth firmly wrung in hot water containing a mild cleaning agent. You may use methylated spirits or cleaner’s naphtha on tougher stains.
-Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents with sanding qualities, as these will permanently damage the surface.
TEXTILES
-Regular Maintenance : Vacuum-clean often, preferably once a week, with a soft mouthpiece at medium suction.
-Stain Removal : efore you remove tough stains, you should always check the upholstery producer’s recommendations regarding specific materials.
-You will get the best result if the stain is removed immediately.
-Stains from thick or solid materials should be scraped off with a dull knife or spatula before further action is taken. A dry stain should be vacuum-cleaned to remove any loose particles before further action is taken.
-If liquids are spilt, use a clean napkin or cloth to soak up the liquids before further action is taken. Non-greasy stains should be removed by dabbing a lint-free cloth or sponge wrung in clean, hot water. You should work your way from the outer edges toward the middle of the stain. Greasy stain should be removed by using purposeful cleaning agents. However, all cleaning agents should be tested on a non-visible area before use.
-In order to avoid discolouring and blotches, we recommend drying the upholstery with a hairdryer. The upholstery should be completely dry before use.
-When many or larger stains are present it often requires a special technique or treatment. Thus it is recommended to contact a proffessionel cleaning service before trying to remove tougher stains yourself.
-Due to surplus die, dark jeans may leave smudges on the upholstery. Unfortunately, this cannot always be avoided by pre-washing or dry cleaning.
-Please note that you should NEVER rub the upholstery as this could damage both material and colouring.
-Be careful when using solvents, as they may dissolve underlying upholstery materials.
-Never use undiluted cleaning agents, including bleach, ammonium and soap suitable for hard surfaces.
VELOUR
-Regular Maintenance : Furniture with velour upholstery should be brushed with a soft brush and/or vacumcleaned with a soft mouthpiece at medium suction (always in the pile direction), preferably once a week. Loose cushions should be patted down regularly in order to maintain their shape.
-Treating Pressure Marks : You can usually remove any folds or pressure marks by using an atomizer to spray clean water on the areas in question until damp, not wet. Use a soft brush to ensure that the pile is in the right direction. Leave the velour to dry for a few hours before use.
-If you are unable to leave the material to dry overnight, you can use a hairdryer. You should blow at the pile from different angles to make sure it ends up in the right direction.
-Stain Removal : Before you remove any tough stains, you should always check the upholstery producer’s recommendation regarding specific materials.
-If liquids are spilt, use clean paper napkin or cloth to soak up the liquids before further action is taken. Stains that do not contain grease should be removed by dabbing a lint-free cloth or sponge wrung in clean, hot water. You should work your way from the edges toward the middle of the stain. Greasy stains should be removed by using purposeful cleaning agents. However, all cleaning agents should be tested on a non-visible area before use.

ANILINE LEATHER
-At Fredericia, we are particularly aware of the fact that our products should also be for everyday use and that regular wear and tear should not compromise the presentation of any items in our collections. Our furniture is renowned for aging beautifully and lasting for generations. However, this can only be guaranteed if the furniture is treated with respect and maintained properly and in accordance with the various materials used.
-Vegetable and chrome-tanned aniline leather is produced from hides of the most exquisite quality. The natural structure is maintained without the use of surface treatments, which again ensures that the leather remains breathable and soft and provides optimal comfort. Over the years, the leather will develop a unique and beautiful patina, characteristic of aniline leather.
-Before Use : When new, there is no need for any treatment.
-Daily Cleaning : Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. In case of light stains, you can use a soft cloth, tightly wrung in water, which has been boiled and then cooled to room temperature. Often, it will be preferable to leave light stains to simply be absorbed into the naturally developing patina (e.g. stains from a pen). If liquids are spilt, immediately wipe the entire surface with a soft cloth tightly wrung in cold water. Avoid cleaning agents and sharp objects. Loose cushions should be patted down regularly in order to preserve their shape.
-Maintenance : For further maintenance, you can use leather cleanser or cream. Fredericia recommends Leather Master Soft Cleanser and Leather Master Protection Cream Premium. This type of maintenance should be carried out 1-2 times a year.
-Before cleaning, you should vacuum-clean the leather with a soft mouthpiece at low suction. Then dampen a sponge with leather cleanser (e.g. Soft Cleaner) and wipe the sponge across the leather surface from side to side. In case of stains, wipe the sponge in circular movements across the stain. Do not rub the sponge on the leather! Wipe down loose cushions separately and make sure you cover the entire surface to avoid blotches and discolouration. Leave the cleanser to settle for at least one hour.
-Then you may add leather cream (e.g. Leather Protection Cream Premium). First, shake the bottle and then apply using a soft, dry cloth as you massage the leather with soft circular movements. To finish off, polish lightly. The leather cream increases resistance to stains and spillages while also nourishing and caring for the leather. The products mentioned above cannot remove tough stains, but they cleanse and maintain the leather.
