Superior fit

The looped yarn in knitted upholstery fabric provide excellent elasticity, stretch and fit. This contributes to increased sitting comfort, helps the upholstery to keep its shape and accentuates the design of the furniture. The elasticity of the upholstery also makes it easier to remove for cleaning.

Certified for the future

The Stressless® Basil dining chair meets high standards for animal welfare and sustainability. The Nativa label means each contributor in the value chain is certified, and the wool can be traced from the farmers all the way to the finished chair. It is also GOTS certified organic wool. The textile is certified according to BlueSign and Oeko-Tex.

Not a thread to waste

3D knitting minimizes waste of materials as it is knitted with superior precision, minimizing the use of virgin materials. Plus, the use of certified washable wool yarn with biodegradable polyamide ensures that our production process and everyday use is more environmentally friendly.
