CORNET
BARSTOOL
Care Guide

2
Jonas Trampdach’s Cornet barstool is a classic
barstool using an innovative steel tube technique
inspired by bicycle racks. The round solid oak
seat rests on a slender steel base, creating an
interesting balance of proportions and profiles.
The stools come in two different heights, with
choice of wood finishes for the seat and chrome
or powder coated colour options for the legs. The
stools are suitable for bars, islands and worktops
in a number of private and public settings.

CAUTION
With a little care you can prolong
the life of your furniture. Follow
the instructions for the materials
of your specific product to make
sure that it stays in the best shape
for as long as possible.*
− Always remove stains quickly before they can do
any permanent damage to the furniture.
− Avoid placing the furniture in direct sunlight or
near a strong heat source to reduce changes. As
wood is a natural material, it will change in colour
and will patinate over time.
− When you move your furniture, make sure you lift
it rather than pulling or pushing it to avoid dam-
aging the floor, legs and mountings.

*The information below is only intended as a general guideline. For
more information on how to remove specific stains, please enquire
where you bought the furniture.
− Avoid improper use such as tilting the seats on
their back legs or standing on it.
− Be careful not to scratch or damage the surface
with sharp objects.
− Avoid covering the surface partially, for example
with cushions or skins, as colour variances may
appear.
− Check the status of the gliders frequently and
if worn down, contact your local retailer to buy
replacements. The durability of the gliders will
depend on the surface the chair is placed on.

CARE GUIDE
Oiled wood
Wipe with a clean, dry cloth. If the surface is dirty,
wipe with a clean cloth wrung in water or in a solution
of water and a neutral detergent or soap flakes. Re-
move any soap residue immediately using a clean,
dry cloth. Never use soft soap or solvents such as
spirit, turpentine or acetone. Avoid using scour-
ing cream or scouring pads, as they may scratch
the surface. If the surface is scratched or appears
matt, make sure to use an oil hardening care prod-
uct specifically designed to maintain oiled wooden
surfaces. Clean the furniture thoroughly (12 hours)
before applying the oil to all surfaces. To ensure
optimal absorbency, gently sand down the wood
using fine-grit sandpaper (No. 180 or 240), always
sanding in the direction of the grain. Apply the oil
generously using a clean cloth or a sponge, always
applying in the direction of the grain. Do not pour
the oil directly on the surface. When the surface
is glistening, leave the oil on for around two hours
until fully absorbed. Remove any excess oil with a

6
clean lint-free cloth. Leave the furniture to dry over-
night (min. 12 hours) and avoid placing anything on
the surface before it is completely dry. If the grain
of the wood rises after oiling, gently sand down the
wood using fine-grit sandpaper (No. 180 or 240),
always sanding in the direction of the grain. To op-
timally maintain the naturally beautiful appearance
of the wood, we recommend you regularly treat
the furniture’s surface with oil whenever it appears
dull, scratched or as needed.
Lacquered or stained wood
Wipe with a clean cloth wrung in water or in a solu-
tion of water and a neutral detergent. Remove soap
residue immediately using a clean, dry cloth. If the
surface is scratched or appears matt, use a care
product specifically suited to lacquered or stained
wood. Avoid using detergents containing silicone,
as they seal the stain in and make subsequent re-
pairs more difficult. Avoid using scouring cream or
scouring pads, as they may scratch the surface.

7
Powder coated or chromed steel
Wipe with a clean cloth wrung in water or in a solu-
tion of water and a neutral detergent. Remove soap
residue immediately using a clean, dry cloth. Avoid
using scouring cream or scouring pads, as they may
scratch the surface. White spirit (mineral spirit) can
be used to carefully remove stains from chromed
surfaces. Do not use solvents as they may have an
adverse effect on the coating. Never use acetic acid
or citric acid.
