Description
Soft Chair is a modern classic featuring a tight frame with soft back and seat curves. It embodies an honest design language in which all parts are visible and a part of the experience. The result is great comfort and seating ergonomics making for truly delightful dinner parties or time spent with friends and loved ones. Our popular Soft Chair is now available in smoked oak version. A technique that traditionally has been used as a way to darken wood. In the past, we imported dark woods from the tropics, but with smoked oak we have our own “tropical” wood of local Nordic origin. In the smoking process, tannic acid mixes with ammonia vapours, lending the material a deep and intense glow. However, as the wood easily gets scratched during this treatment, today a smoked natural oil is often used to obtain the same effect. The oil adds a dark and warm glow to the oak, highlighting the texture and colour differences of the material and makes the surface more durable. If desired, you can repeat the treatment at a later stage in order to brush up the glow. Like all our other products Soft Chair smoked oak is also certified with Ecolabel
