Terminal 1 Armchair Replica – Modern Comfort Redefined

Product Description

The Terminal 1 Armchair Replica by Vintara Design is a modern reinterpretation of Jean-Marie Massaud’s iconic design, originally created for B&B Italia.

• Functionality: Dual-purpose design, functioning as both an armchair and a chaise longue, offering versatility for lounging or seating.
• Ergonomics: Engineered for optimal comfort, with a form that supports extended seating. This replica, while not affiliated with B&B Italia, captures the essence of Massaud’s vision, making it a striking centerpiece for modern living rooms, offices, or lounges.

Product Care Instructions

The Vintara Design page does not provide explicit care instructions, but based on the materials listed (Gamma leather or fabric, Bayfit® polyurethane foam, tubular steel, and polyurethane shell) and standard care practices for similar high-end furniture, here’s how to maintain the Terminal 1 Armchair Replica:

• Gamma Leather Upholstery (if chosen):
  • Cleaning: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust or spills, then dry immediately to prevent watermarks. For deeper cleaning, use a leather-specific cleaner, following the product’s instructions.
  • Maintenance: Apply a leather conditioner every 6–12 months to prevent drying or cracking. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve the leather’s texture and color. Test cleaning products on a hidden area first.
• Fabric Upholstery (if chosen):
  • Cleaning: Vacuum gently with a soft brush attachment to remove dust. Spot-clean spills with a damp cloth and mild detergent, blotting rather than rubbing. Use a fabric-safe cleaner for stubborn stains.
  • Maintenance: Rotate the chair periodically to ensure even wear. Avoid prolonged sunlight exposure to prevent fading. Professional cleaning is recommended for deep cleaning to maintain fabric quality.
• Bayfit® Polyurethane Foam Padding:
  • Cleaning: Spot-clean spills immediately with a dry cloth to prevent absorption. Avoid soaking, as foam can retain moisture and degrade.
  • Maintenance: Ensure proper ventilation to prevent mustiness. Fluff the padding occasionally to maintain shape.
• Tubular Steel Frame:
  • Cleaning: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry thoroughly to prevent rust or water spots. Use a metal polish or vinegar-water solution for smudges or fingerprints.
  • Maintenance: Check for loose welds or screws periodically and tighten if needed. Avoid abrasive scrubbers to prevent scratches on the glossy finish.
• Hard Polyurethane Shell:
  • Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent, drying immediately to avoid streaks. For stubborn marks, use a non-abrasive cleaner safe for polyurethane surfaces.
  • Maintenance: Protect from direct sunlight to prevent fading or yellowing. Avoid sharp objects that could scratch the surface.
• General Tips: Place the chair on a flat, stable surface to prevent tipping. Use a protective cover or throw during heavy use to minimize wear. For specific care, consult Vintara Design’s customer support, as material finishes may vary.
