Material Details and Maintenance Guidelines

1. Forged and Painted Steel Frame

The stool is striking for its assembly of its elements and the characteristic workmanship of the forged metal. To ensure complete outdoor suitability, the steel undergoes special industrial protective coating treatments that make it completely rustproof.
Use and Maintenance of Steel: Periodically clean the surfaces using a soft cloth dampened with water and neutral, non-abrasive liquid detergents. Avoid using metal sponges, scouring pads, or acidic/chlorinated degreasers, which may scratch the paint. During the winter months, it is recommended to clean the stool and store it in a dry, closed place.

2. Optional Teak Wood Seat

The Thor offering includes a seat insert in premium teak wood, obtained thanks to an in-depth company study of the material mix. Teak is a noble tropical wood rich in natural oils that protect it from humidity and atmospheric agents.
Use and Maintenance of Teak: Being a natural, living material, when exposed to the outdoors, it tends to change color over time, taking on a characteristic and elegant silvery hue. To prevent oxidation and maintain the wood's original color, periodic application of protective oils specifically designed for teak is recommended.
