What are the recommended care and maintenance instructions for the virgin wool upholstery, particularly for stain and spill handling?
The Lana Bench is upholstered in hand-carded, hand-knotted virgin wool from Momostenango, Guatemala. As a handcrafted natural fiber, the upholstery is delicate and benefits from gentle care. A hydrophobic nano-polymer coating helps repel liquids, dust, and everyday soiling. For routine maintenance, gently remove dust with a soft feather duster or a clean, dry cloth. The piece may also be vacuumed using a non-brush upholstery nozzle on the lowest suction setting, held approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from the wool pile — never vacuum the wool directly. Avoid hard brushes, detergents, solvents, or liquid cleaning products, as these may cause the fibers to mat and permanently alter their texture. In the event of a spill, the protective coating will temporarily repel and encapsulate the moisture; immediately place a dry paper towel or absorbent cloth over the area and allow it to absorb the liquid naturally, without rubbing or scrubbing. As each piece is handcrafted, a few natural fibers may occasionally remain in the wool. These can be gently removed by hand or with tweezers, and carefully trimmed with small scissors if needed.
The listing shows both Walnut and Oak — is the wood a customer-selectable option, or is it a fixed combination of both woods?
The wood is a customer-selectable option. The base is available in walnut, natural oak, blackened oak, ebonized oak, or stained oak.
Since this is made-to-order, can the bench be produced in custom dimensions to fit a specific space?
Yes, as a made-to-order piece, the Lana Bench can be produced in custom dimensions to suit your specific space.
Is it possible to upholster the Lana Bench with COM (Customer's Own Material) instead of the standard virgin wool?
Yes, the Lana Bench can be upholstered in COM (Customer's Own Material) in place of the standard virgin wool.
Are the three wool colors (Off White, Moss, Rust) the only options, or can the color be customized on request?
Beyond the three standard wool colors — Off White, Moss, and Rust — custom color options are available on request.
