Konekt

Konekt products are meticulously handcrafted from the finest materials that evolve and gain distinctive character over time, underscoring their enduring quality. To preserve the beauty and longevity of your Konekt pieces, we recommend handling them with care using the following directions, ensuring they remain a cherished part of your collection for years to come.

•Metals:
-Most metals on Konekt pieces are delivered with a live finish unless specified differently. The live finishes are designed to naturally patina over time.

-Maintenance:
-To clean, dust gently with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
-Un-lacquered polished brass/bronze surfaces can be re-polished using a polishing cream with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
-Do not use polisher or cleaning chemicals on any satin brass/bronze, blackened brass/bronze or patinated brass/bronze finishes.
-Refrain from using abrasive liquids, cleaners or polishers as they may alter the appearance.

•Restoration:
-To restore a polished finish on an item with a live or non-live finish, we recommend that they be professionally cleaned and polished.

•Wood

Wood pieces have been stained and/or polished to bring depth and beauty to each finish. Although most are protected with either a clear coat or wax, they are still susceptible to wear.

•Maintenance:
-To clean, use a damp, soft and non-abrasive cloth with water and mild soap if needed. Dry with a clean, soft cloth to remove all moisture.
-Any liquids spilled should be cleaned up and dried immediately.
- Do not use chemical cleaners.

•Important Environmental Information:
-Do not place/leave hot or moist objects directly on wood
surfaces.
-Rubber or plastic left on the wood finish can damage the
finish.
-Do not place wood items near heaters, air conditioning units, or
in direct sunlight to prevent over-drying and fading.
-Avoid extreme humidity changes in your home, as this can cause
wood to expand and contract, and can cause damage.
-Maintain humidity levels between 35-45%, as extremely dry air can
cause wood to crack.
-Exposing wood to extreme moisture can also cause swelling and
warping.

-Restoration: We recommend that deeply stained or soiled wood pieces be professionally cleaned or refinished.

High Polish Polyurethane

-Maintenance: To clean, use a damp, soft and non-abrasive cloth. A mild soap can be used if needed. Dry with a clean, soft cloth to remove all moisture or soap residue. Do not use any waxes or products with ammonia.
Parchment
Parchment is an untanned animal hide.

-Maintenance: Occasionally wipe down the parchment with a dry, soft cloth. If it needs to be cleaned, wipe carefully with a slightly damp, soft cloth and then dry completely with a clean, soft cloth. Parchment is a natural material that breathes and may darken over time.
-Restoration: For damage to parchment please consult a furniture restoration specialist with knowledge of parchment.
Glass:
-Maintenance: Glass can be cleaned by wiping with a soft, damp cloth or glass cleaner with no additives. Apply the glass cleaner to a soft cloth rather than directly onto the fixture to avoid overspray onto metal or other components of product.

•Restoration:
-Light scratches and nicks can often be addressed by a professional glass service.


Leathers:
Precautions:
Leather is a soft, porous material that is often uncoated and can easily absorb liquids and oily substances.
-Avoid contact with lotion or water, or other liquids.

-Avoid contact with raw denim and other materials that can transfer their finish to the leather.
-Maintain leather by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heating vents to prevent fading and cracking.

Maintenance:
-Care for leather by dusting with a soft cloth and lightly vacuuming.
-Avoid abrasive cloths or cleaning products.

Restoration: We recommend that stained or soiled leathers be professionally cleaned.
