Detachable covers

Recognizing the clear advantages, an increasing portion of

our collection features detachable and washable covers.

The sofas marked with the “Detachable covers” symbol

are designed for easy maintenance, with covers that can

be machine washed at 30 degrees Celsius. Additionally,

upholstery can be replaced when worn or simply to refresh

the sofa’s appearance. This approach allows you to update

your sofa without the need for a full replacement, signi

ficantly

reducing environmental impact.

Products available with detachable covers:

Aslak, Balder, Colpus, Fraction, Idun, Junus, Lomira, Minimum,

Newilla, Newilla with lounger, Pauke, Puri, Rollo, Soft Peak,

Trym and Yonata.

Look for the detachable covers icon in the Collection

overview and specifications section pages 142-161.

ENVIRONMENTAL

CONSIDERATIONS

Give back to nature

To support the balance of the global ecosystem, Innovation

Living plants over 10,000 new trees annually to offset our

wood consumption.

Lower CO

2

footprint

Since 1989, all our products have been designed for

flat packing, which minimizes CO

2

emissions during

transportation and storage. We continuously work to

reduce the environmental impact of our activities, and

you can read more about our speci

fic initiatives on

our website. Although we are not CO

2

neutral, we are

committed to minimizing our CO

2

footprint.

Maintain and refresh

Designing for flat packing involves creating a set

of components that can be easily assembled into a

complete product. While the complexity and number

of parts may differ between products, this design

approach enables straightforward replacement of

individual components. This not only extends the

product’s life cycle—by allowing for the replacement

of worn-out parts or updating its appearance—but

also supports sustainability and practicality.

Disassembly and recycling

Our design process prioritizes the disassembly of

products and materials at the end of their life cycle.

We thoughtfully select materials, determine optimal

methods for combining them, and try to ensure they

can be separated into individual components for

recycling. Each design poses unique challenges, with

some being more conducive to disassembly than

others. Nevertheless, mowing in a more sustainable

direction remains an important part of our design

philosophy, and the environmental impact is carefully

considered in every product we create.

Fabrics

For designs where removable covers are not feasible, fabric

durability and ease of cleaning are essential to ensuring

long-lasting quality. To enhance resilience, all fabrics are

crafted to be highly durable and are further reinforced with

backing materials. All fabrics, except Faunal and Silvershine,

are engineered to withstand washing at 30 degrees Celsius,

enabling effective wet cleaning. Additionally, all fabrics meet

the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certi

fication, guaranteeing

they are free from harmful substances.

Recycled fabrics

The availability of fabrics made from recycled fibers is steadily

growing, and we are continually exploring the innovative and

exciting new options. We encourage you to take a look at

our Bouclé and Esina fabric selections for recycled options —

details can be found on pages 162-163
