Like all other objects, upholstered furniture attracts dust and becomes dirty. However, you should be aware of not allowing the upholstery to get too dirty, as it will make the subsequent cleaning more difficult. Also keep in mind that dust and dirt increase wear and tear, generate an unhealthy indoor climate and diminish any fire-resistant features. Regular maintenance is therefore necessary in order to maintain the upholstery’s looks and to prolong its longevity.

A soothing Scandinavian feeling by the roaring North Sea

Take a look inside the seaside hotel, Svinkløv Badehotel, in Northern Jutland, Denmark. Modern classics from Fredericia were included in a section of the hotel known as the ‘Purple suite’ to help create that certain Scandinavian summer vibe: Børge Mogensen’s Spoke-back sofa and Ejvind A. Johansson’s J64 Chair. Explore the story here.
