REUSE
At NC, we believe that furniture should be made to last and be used for generations. The foundation lies in good quality, design and choice of materials. The goal is that a product should be able to be redesigned, reconditioned and reused to extend its life. What characteristics create the conditions for the furniture to have as long a life as possible?
We have identified some characteristics that facilitate the reuse of our furniture. We have chosen to call these the furniture reuse criteria.
Reuse criteria that facilitate
To make it easy for our customers, we have identified reuse criteria that we consider particularly important to enable and facilitate the reuse of our products. By choosing furniture that meets one or more criteria, you are making a good deal both today and for the future. You can find information on the reuse criteria of the products under each product page.
Removable upholstery
Many upholstered furniture, especially fully upholstered chairs, currently have glued upholstery. This allows the fabric to lie smoothly against the upholstery but unfortunately makes it impossible to replace the upholstery without damaging the underlying padding.
At NC, we believe that the customer should be able to remove, wash and eventually even replace the furniture's upholstery. To make this possible, we work to ensure that all our upholstered furniture has a zipper or Velcro that facilitates washing and changing the upholstery. At present, we also have products with nailed upholstery. Changing the upholstery on these pieces of furniture requires more hand application, but the upholstery material underneath can still be kept intact.
The Removable cover criterion means that the product can be easily re-clothed thanks to zippers or Velcro.
Replaceable padding
It is not only the upholstery of a piece of furniture that may need replacing. Sometimes new upholstery is also required. Depending on the design of the furniture, the upholstery may be glued or loose under the upholstery. A large part of our range has loose upholstery but we still have a challenge to completely get away from upholstery glued to wood.
Criteria Replaceable padding means that the back and/or seat cushion can be easily replaced without special tools.
Solid wood
Wood is a grateful material when it comes to recycling, durable and at the same time ages beautifully over time. A material that can easily be renewed and given a new life by sanding and varnishing the solid wood details. In other cases, only the seat may need to be replaced as the wooden details have instead developed a beautiful platinum.
The solid wood criterion means that the product can be easily sanded and refinished due to the fact that the product is made of solid wood.
