Design & Material Considerations

The solid steel in Thorvald has a delicate expression

while ensuring high stability and durability in outdoor

environments. The surfaces are additionally reinforced

against corrosion and wear, ensuring a long lifespan. This

direction falls in line with our desire to think about our

products, and all their components’, entire life cycle –

including their afterlife. Fully designed for disassembly, the

pieces can be repaired, and parts can be replaced if needed.

Similarly, the gliders can be removed as well as switched

out. The mono-material steel frames can be recycled at

the end of their life. Historically used and re-used in

multiple production cycles, steel’s unique properties remain

unchanged during the recycling process, enabling it to exist

in another production cycle and in turn reducing the need

for additional raw materials.

The seat pads and cushions are upholstered in highly

durable outdoor fabrics, Heritage Papyrus and Marquetry

Bora. Safeguarding the promise of producing with no

harmful substances or compounds unsafe to air quality,

the fabrics are OEKO-TEX® 100 and Greenguard Gold

certified.
