Wooden furniture, including plywood pieces such as the Shell chair, is one of the materials which is able to offer not only an exterior beauty but also a low maintenance cost. These pieces normally require little intervention as they are partly sustainable. But! This does not save them from normal furniture wear, although it is not the same as what leather or metal pieces can become, wood or plywood furniture requires some care in order to preserve its appearance.

In general, cleaning plywood is very similar to cleaning normal wood, since these types of wood are currently manufactured in a water-repellent way. That said, here we have listed the necessary products to clean your Shell chair or any other piece made in this material:

• Surface cleaner
• Vinegar
• Degreaser
• Bleach

As you can see, these products are very easy to find since you can find them in any market. Now, each product has different purposes and importance, but as we are living in a time of pandemic, we recommend that you clean your chair more than a few times with vinegar and bleach. These products have a germicidal effect. Regarding the others, try to use them with a soft cloth and test them on a hidden part of the chair before using it on the whole piece.

In the previous blog, we talked about what a sustainable product was and we showed you a beautiful and cozy rug that can be combined with a Shell chair or any other similar chair from the middle of the century. Now is the time to show you more elements that can help you to finally complement the interior decoration of the house. Let’s continue!

The second product that we are going to show you is a very striking shelf, but before showing you the photo we would like to mention that this store has a particular objective which is to plant more trees than the wood they use to create their furniture and also donate a part of their earnings to conservation groups. So if you are one of those people who support the conservation of the planet, this is a good option to acquire pieces of decoration.

Today we will show you one of the pieces from the famous Le Corbusier collection that best suits your small living room.

Small living rooms are often seen as difficult spaces to decorate, but they are not! There are strategies and pieces of furniture suitable to create an optimal and visually attractive space. These two principles were on which Le Corbusier was based.

Le Corbusier is practically considered the father of modernism due to his contributions to this style. He thought that the furniture pieces had to be optimal and attractive enough for the user. This is why he created the LC2 sofa. A sofa that represents both features perfectly. It has a durable cover made of aniline leather and strong support made of stainless steel. But it ‘s not all! It is filled with high-density foam. Even its dimensions are very fittable to small spaces without being functional.

The Le Corbusier loveseat dimensions are the following:

• Dimensions:26″H x 72″W x 27″D
• Product Weight:80lbs.

Danish Hans Wegner knew he was creating something very special when he conceived the main idea for the Flag Halyard Chair. This chair wouldn’t only become one of the Mid-Century Modern style icons, but it’s also a type of accent chair unique in its style, for its materials, design, and the details that make it a spectacular piece of furniture.

The Hans Wegner Flag Halyard Chair is highly resistant thanks to its stainless steel structure. However, its designer didn’t want its seat to be made up of typical cushions that he used to place in his models made of wood. It was then that he decided to create a flag line fabric to form the seat and back.

This means that the user experience is very different from that of traditional accent chairs and stuffed cushions used in most highly recognized designs. All this while remaining ergonomic and comfortable.

Products such as the Flag Halyard Chair replica by Manhattan Home Design perfectly respect and emulate the materials and aesthetic aspects of this masterpiece, including its sheepskin cover and leather upholstered pad.

A Flag Halyard Chair reproduction is unlike any other accent chair that you can find in any modern catalog and this is something that you will notice from the first minute you use it.

Never doubt the importance of your modern sofa. Not only because it’s the common point of family reunions but also because it’s a piece of furniture to which we owe many moments of rest and relax.

There are many options you can choose from, depending on the upholstery, size, and functionality that you need and prefer. Therefore, the final choice you make has higher importance for your decorating process.

Many environments can go from boring to exciting just by adding the right mid-century sofa. Leather sofas, for example, can be perfect for environments where earth colors or very warm tones predominate.

Those are models with very easy-to-clean finishes, which gain flexibility and softness as they age. A modern sectional is especially suitable for covering large spaces and making the most of every square meter.

There’s something that the best sofas on the market have in common: they represent the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality and can make an unbeatable contribution in both ways.

In other words, a model that feels good and looks good and also has exceptional technical features, such as sofa beds or modular sofas, will be suitable in practically every case you can imagine. Just knowing how to make the right choice is enough to bring a new spirit to your spaces.

In the previous blog, we talked about why the Le Corbusier or LC3 sofa is a perfect choice when you want a brown three-seat sofa, but what if you like a two-seater sofa more but are still drawn to this modern look? Well, let me tell you that Le Corbusier had that same thought and that is why he created another version or item for his collection of cushion baskets. The piece we are talking about is called the LC3 loveseat sofa, which looks like the following image:

As you can see in this version of black aniline leather, it looks quite similar to the sofa in the previous blog but this loveseat, as its name says, only has two seats. This option is perfect when you want to complement with an accent chair or a lounge chair. It will give you space for up to three people and you can implement another piece in your living room.

The Florence Knoll sofa

This is also a classic option but with a different style; mid-century one. It offers the same materials than the previous one but with a different structure.

Having a small house or apartment can sometimes become a bit tedious because not all furniture pieces usually adapt to this type of dimensions. This is why when selecting the main elements of your living room such as the sofa, you must be attentive to whether the piece will really be functional for your space or not.

One of the sofas that are often seen a lot in living rooms are modern leather sofas. These sofas are considered classics due to how attractive and functional they are for many people; including owners of small spaces. Today we will show you some of the most adaptable modern leather sofas that exist for narrow living rooms. Swipe down and choose your favorite!

The Le Corbusier Sofa or LC3 Sofa (three-seats)

This classic piece is part of the collections presented as “cushion baskets” by the one and only father of modernism: Le Corbusier. This is nothing more than a piece based on modernist principles which has an optimal structure and externalized frames with stainless steel which make it a stylish and comfortable piece at the same time. Perfect for small spaces as it offers enough seats in quite adaptable dimensions.

Never relate the compartment’s size with the number of elements you need to add to express and design your aesthetic and decorating style. Many people prefer to stick to recipes and put creativity and innovation aside. Others, instead, try to take advantage of every square inch of an area to find their very own formula for interior design and décor.

A Woodrow Box Skandi Sofa can represent the cornerstone of a layout of many types, considering its versatility, regardless of whether it’s a minimalist or maximalist type of décor, whether it’s a compartment with large or very small dimensions. The most important thing is that it’s an environment compatible with the lifestyle of its occupants and that it can also reflect their personality and preferences.

Choosing an appropriate midcentury sofa is always important, and it can even be the starting point for radical changes, but that’s not all. Harmony, balance, and details that can give meaning, coherence, and sufficient functionality that will transform your environment into what you want and need.

A modern sofa almost always lives up to expectations. They’re generally the main pieces of minimalist environments where “less is more”. Thanks to the fact that there are models of different sizes and functions, with upholstery made of fabric, leather, and even synthetic materials, users have a world of possibilities, since these pieces are the tools to start an unforgettable decorating process.
