Chromeo Armchair (Sorrento)

Product Description

The Chromeo Armchair (Sorrento) by Vintara Design is a replica of the original design by Sarah Ellison for Ellison Studios, inspired by the Bauhaus movement. This statement piece combines sleek, contemporary style with a nod to historical design principles, focusing on the interplay of material and form:

• Design: Features a sculptural, geometric silhouette with a curved chrome-finished frame made of polished stainless steel. The chair includes bolster cushion detailing, creating a striking contrast between the sleek metal and soft upholstery. Its Bauhaus-inspired aesthetic emphasizes clean lines and functional beauty [Web ID: 0] [Web ID: 1].
• Upholstery: Upholstered in Sorrento Moon corduroy, a soft, texturally rich fabric that adds a contemporary yet tactile finish. Other options like Avalon Piccolo velvet may also be available depending on customization [Web ID: 1] [Web ID: 10].
• Frame: A polished stainless steel frame with a chrome finish forms the chair’s structure, supported by an engineered timber frame for added stability and durability [Web ID: 1].
• Padding: High-resistance polyurethane foam provides a firm yet comfortable seating experience, designed for a more upright posture while maintaining modern lounging appeal [Web ID: 1].
• Additional Features: The chair can be paired with a matching Chromeo Ottoman (sold separately) to enhance its lounging functionality, adding a footrest that complements its sculptural beauty [Web ID: 1] [Web ID: 9]. This armchair is ideal for modern living spaces, offering a blend of artful design and practical comfort, transforming everyday seating into a piece of art [Web ID: 0].

Product Care Instructions

The Vintara Design page doesn’t provide specific care instructions for this chair, but based on the materials described (Sorrento Moon corduroy, polyurethane foam, polished stainless steel, and engineered timber frame), the following care guidelines apply:

• Sorrento Moon Corduroy Upholstery:
  • Cleaning: Gently vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove dust. Spot-clean spills with a damp cloth and mild soap, blotting rather than rubbing to avoid damaging the fabric’s texture. For deeper stains, use a fabric-safe cleaner suitable for corduroy.
  • Maintenance: Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading, as corduroy can be prone to color loss over time. Professional cleaning is recommended for heavy soiling to maintain the fabric’s nap and texture. Protect from sharp objects to prevent snags.
• 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 cushions occasionally to maintain shape.
• Polished Stainless Steel Frame:
  • Cleaning: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry thoroughly with a microfiber cloth to prevent water spots or tarnish. Use a stainless steel polish or vinegar-water solution for fingerprints or smudges.
  • Maintenance: Check for loose welds or screws periodically and tighten if needed. Avoid abrasive scrubbers to prevent scratches on the chrome finish.
• Engineered Timber Frame:
  • Cleaning: Dust with a dry cloth or clean with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, drying immediately to avoid moisture damage.
  • Maintenance: Apply wood polish or wax every few months to maintain the finish, if accessible. Avoid humid environments to prevent warping.
• General Tips:
  • Place the chair on a flat, stable surface to avoid structural stress.
  • Use a fabric protector spray (e.g., Scotchgard) to enhance stain resistance, testing first on a hidden area.
  • Vacuum or dust regularly to prevent dirt accumulation.
