Fritz Hansen - Skagerak Collection - Norr Carrier - Oak

PROPER USAGE AND MAINTENANCE

Proper usage and maintenance is vital for getting the most out of the valuable resources we have. Our designs are made to last for generations, but just like everything else, they need a little care to get there.

LEATHER

Why 
Leather is a strong and natural material that gets a beautiful patina over time. This makes it very easy to maintain and a great match for our many wooden designs. 

Cleaning 
Use a suitable leather cleaner when necessary. 

Maintenance 
The product requires a minimum of care, but if you want to freshen up the original colour of the leather you can use a suitable leather grease.

OAK

Origin 
Oak grows in most temperate zones. The Skagerak oak comes from European forests and is either 100% FSC certified or FSC mix certified, supporting sustainable forest management. The selection of the wood is extremely careful and all processing is by hand, so that only the best and most durable pieces of wood are used in production.

Why 
Oak is a sturdy and hardwearing type of wood containing natural tannins that will protect against bacterial growth. Combined with its light, elegant colour and well-defined grains, this makes oak wood safe choice for high-quality interior and accessories. 

Cleaning 
The wood comes with no finish. If you choose not to treat it with soap or oil, use a suitable cleaning agent for wood. 

Maintenance 
As the wood is untreated it may be affected by grease and colorants. For this reason, we recommend saturating the wood with soap or a suitable furniture oil to make it more resistant. If you wish to use soap or oil, use a suitable product. Be aware that the wood will change colour when applying soap or oil.

Note 
Your new oak product is not suitable for dishwasher.

Please be aware that wet untreated oak can leave stains on a surface, like a table top or tablecloth. Water extracts the natural tannins in the wood which might leave discolorations on a surface.
