Skovby’s #40 Sleigh chair is both cool and elegant – The perfect match for our plank tables!
There exists many sleigh chairs manufactured in steel. Skovby’s #40 Sleigh chair is a resistant and strong chair designed with a frame of wood, providing it with a cool, yet elegant look.
The frame is constructed in a trapeze-shape, which perfectly matches the frames of Skovby’s #105 and #106 Plank tables. But of course the #40 Sleigh chair may also be combined with any other Skovby table.
The Skovby chairs are ergonomically designed to offer the best possible comfort and comply with the most stringent international regulations. All our chair designs are regularly tested at “The Danish Furniture Makers’ Quality Control”, where among other rigorous tests they are subjected to 50,000 tilting pressures. Our chairs are therefore categorized to be within the highest quality level for dining room chairs.
We only sell extremely hard wearing covers that comply with the most stringent quality standards. Choose between 50 quality covers in fabric and leather.
Wood is a living material - continuing after the tree has been felled - and is affected by the humidity in air and temperature. Wood used for furniture production has been dried to be in balance with the average indoor climate - i.e. a room temperature of approx. 20 deg. C and an air humidity of approx. 50%. In Denmark the air humidity varies from the driest winter period to the most humid in summer between approx. 40 and 65%, which causes the humidity of the wood to change from 8 to 13% - i.e. a difference of 5%. Wood has the ability to absorb and emit moisture depending on its surroundings. As a result wood will expand in moist periods and contract in dry ones. In other places of the world there may be even larger fluctuations in temperature and air humidity.
This applies for both veneered and solid furniture, but especially solid furniture is sensitive to such fluctuations.
Some wood sorts change colour after unpacking. Sunlight triggers this process. The more sunlight, the more change in colour. If you want to delay the process, do not expose your furniture to direct sunlight. In order to avoid markings from dishes, vases etc. make sure to move them regularly. When supplementing your Skovby furniture, please be aware that there will be a colour difference between new and previously purchased items.
WHERE TO USE YOUR FURNITURE?
If you want the extension leaves to change in colour concurrently with the tabletop, you must keep your table extended with all the leaves.
If the table is exposed to an uneven influence of light, it is a good idea once in a while to turn it 180 degrees, so that both ends get equal amount of light. Sun and heat dry out wood and may cause cracking.
Never use indoor furniture outside. Major deviations from normal indoor climate may damage the furniture. We therefore recommend that you get a hygrometer to control the air humidity.
