Construction

Per the datasheet, the interior uses solid fir (Picea abies), chipboard panels and elastic straps. Seat cushions have a shaped polyurethane core with polyester fibre or sterilised feathers, back cushions use polyester fibre and sterilised feathers, and every cushion has a 100% cotton cover. The upholstery is completely removable, in leather or fabric, and the feet are shiny metal with non-slip plastic tips.

Nordic rigor, soft comfort

The datasheet describes Wettstein's armchair and sofa as balanced and classical in form, very soft and comfortable, yet with a Nordic rigor. The page points to the detail as a pursuit of comfort: generously proportioned cushions that keep a tailored form while offering a welcoming embrace.

Filling and upholstery

The cushions are available with either fibre or feather down filling, and the datasheet draws every sofa in both versions (code letters F for fibre and G for feather). The page adds that the upholstery comes in a curated selection of fine leathers or fabrics and is completely removable.
