Fabrics
The upholstery fabric largely determines the look of your new furniture. Choose a calm colour that always blends perfectly with your interior, or go for an eye-catcher in a bold shade. Do you prefer a sturdy robust fabric, or a supple soft one? Here we tell you everything about the possibilities with our fabrics.
Facet
Recycled wool, lightly mélange, soft and luxurious to the touch.
Avon
Woven from recycled PET, with a matte appearance close to wool.Facet is lightly mélange and available in a wide range of colours. This woollen upholstery fabric is made from 75% post-consumer recycled woollen clothing and 25% polyamide for strength. This upholstery gives your sofa a beautifully soft and luxurious look.
Production takes place in Italy, which in the world of upholstery fabrics can be considered quite local. The Facet is also exceptionally wear-resistant with a Martindale value of 100,000.
What we are very enthusiastic about is that an LCA (Life Cycle Analysis) is available for the Facet, in which the environmental impact has been measured in all its facets. This is an important tool for making sustainable choices. If you choose the Facet, you choose a proven low environmental impact.

What could be better. We would rather tell you honestly where our fabrics fall short than pretend they are perfect.
The Facet fabrics are composed of different materials. Such a fabric is more difficult to recycle into a high-quality new product at the end of its life cycle.
Both fabrics do contain synthetic material and will inevitably release microplastics during use. The health and environmental consequences of this are still largely unclear, but it is a problem that fabrics made from natural materials do not have.

With a few simple habits, your Kairos sofa will stay beautiful for years. Regular maintenance prevents wear and tear and makes removing stains much easier.
We recommend vacuuming the upholstery weekly with a soft furniture brush on low suction. Dust, sand, and other dirt are not always visible, but they can damage the fabric over time.
If a stain does occur, carefully remove solid residue with a spoon and immediately blot up liquids with paper towels. Do not rub the stain and preferably use a specialized furniture cleaner.
