Arctander Clam Chair & Matching Ottoman | Vintara Design Mid-Century Modern Sherpa Lounge Set

Iconic Clam Shell Design Heritage

• Sculptural Clam Shell Form: The ergonomically curved plywood shell mimics a half-opened clamshell, creating a warm, enveloping cocoon that cradles your body in natural comfort. Every curve is intentional, balancing artistic expression with functional support.
• Plush Sherpa Upholstery: Wrapped in luxe white long-hair sherpa, the chair and ottoman offer a tactile, fuzzy surface that feels like sinking into a cloud—soft, warm, and irresistibly cozy, perfect for lazy afternoons or quiet evenings.
• Solid Wood Legs: Sturdy, tapered solid wood legs (oiled finish) provide stable support while adding a touch of natural warmth, contrasting beautifully with the creamy white sherpa to enhance the chair’s organic aesthetic.
• Matching Ottoman: The included curved ottoman (60×40×42cm) mirrors the chair’s silhouette, offering a perfect place to rest your feet and complete the ultimate relaxation setup.

Core Features

• Timeless Mid-Century Design: A faithful recreation of Philip Arctander’s 1944 "Muslingestolen," capturing the essence of Danish modernism with clean lines and organic form.
• Luxe Long-Hair Sherpa Upholstery: Soft, durable white sherpa fabric that’s gentle on skin, pet-friendly, and develops a rich, lived-in texture over time.
• Ergonomic Comfort: The curved shell and multi-layer foam cushioning cradle your body, reducing pressure points for hours of fatigue-free lounging.
• Baby & Family Safe: All materials are fire-resistant and non-toxic, making it safe for little ones and furry friends alike.

Premium Materials & Craftsmanship

• Upholstery: 100% white long-hair sherpa fabric—selected for its plush texture, durability, and ability to retain its fuzzy appearance even with daily use. The fabric is OEKO-TEX certified, free from harmful chemicals, and resistant to pilling and fading.
• Frame: Curved plywood shell, reinforced with solid wood bracing for structural integrity. The shell is shaped to follow the natural contours of the body, ensuring optimal support and comfort.
• Cushioning: Multi-layer medium-density foam core wrapped in hypoallergenic batting, delivering the perfect balance of sink-in softness and lasting support—no sagging, even with years of use.
• Legs: Solid wood legs (walnut or oak options available) with a hand-rubbed oiled finish, highlighting the wood’s natural grain and ensuring stability. The tapered design adds a touch of mid-century elegance while distributing weight evenly.
• Ottoman: Curved solid wood frame wrapped in the same white sherpa as the chair, with four matching solid wood legs for a cohesive look. The ottoman’s dimensions (60×40×42cm) are perfectly proportioned to fit under the chair or stand alone as a small seat.

Product Care Instructions

Sherpa Upholstery

• Regular Care: Vacuum weekly with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris from the fuzzy pile. Gently fluff the sherpa with your hands to maintain its plush appearance.
• Spill Cleanup: Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth (do not rub, as this can mat the sherpa). For water-based spills, use a damp cloth with mild, pH-neutral soap; for stubborn stains, use a fabric-specific stain remover (test on a hidden area first).
• Deep Cleaning: Professional dry cleaning is recommended for full fabric refresh to maintain the sherpa’s texture and avoid matting.

Solid Wood Legs

• Cleaning: Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For spills, wipe immediately with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly to avoid water damage.
• Maintenance: Apply a wood conditioner every 6–12 months to preserve the oiled finish and prevent drying or cracking. Avoid direct sunlight or humid environments to prevent fading or warping.

Customization Options (Vintara Design Exclusive)

• Upholstery: Choose from a range of sherpa colors (white, cream, charcoal, blush) or upgrade to alternative fabrics (bouclé, velvet, leather) to match your decor.
• Wood Legs: Select between solid walnut (rich dark tone) or oak (light warm tone) for the legs, with custom finish options (oiled, matte, or stained).
• Ottoman Size: Request custom ottoman dimensions to fit your specific space (additional fees apply).
• Embroidery: Add subtle custom embroidery (initials, small designs) to the chair or ottoman for a personalized touch (ideal for gifts).
