Terminal 1 Armchair

Description

The Terminal 1 Armchair  (Resto)by Vintara
Design is a modern reinterpretation of JeanMarie Massaud’s iconic design, originally
created for B&B Italia. This armchair seamlessly
blends the functionality of a traditional armchair
with the elegance of a chaise longue,
embodying a floating sculpture aesthetic. Key
features include:
• Frame: Tubular steel, providing robust support
and stability.
• Shell: Hard polyurethane external shell, adding
structural integrity and a sleek finish.
• Upholstery: Available in premium Gamma
leather or fabric options, offering a luxurious
texture. The upholstery is padded with Bayfit®
flexible cold-shaped polyurethane foam for
superior comfort and durability.
• Design: Features fluid, seamless forms with a
glossy metallic frame finish, creating a highcontrast visual appeal alongside a matte leather
or fabric cover. Its minimalist monochromatic
palette complements contemporary interiors.
• Functionality: Dual-purpose design,
functioning as both an armchair and a chaise
longue, offering versatility for lounging or
seating.
• Ergonomics: Engineered for optimal comfort,
with a form that supports extended seating.
This replica, while not affiliated with B&B Italia,
captures the essence of Massaud’s vision,
making it a striking centerpiece for modern
living rooms, offices, or lounges. It’s a blend of
artful design and practical comfort, ideal for
those seeking a statement piece.

Product Care Instructions
The Vintara Design page does not provide
explicit care instructions, but based on the
materials listed (Gamma leather or fabric,
Bayfit® polyurethane foam, tubular steel, and
polyurethane shell) and standard care practices
for similar high-end furniture, here’s how to
maintain the Terminal 1 Armchair Replica:
• Gamma Leather Upholstery (if chosen):
• Cleaning: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and
mild soap to remove dust or spills, then dry
immediately to prevent watermarks. For deeper cleaning, use a leather-specific cleaner,
following the product’s instructions.
• Maintenance: Apply a leather conditioner
every 6–12 months to prevent drying or
cracking. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sourcesto preserve the leather’s texture and color. Test
cleaning products on a hidden area first.
• Fabric Upholstery (if chosen):
• Cleaning: Vacuum gently with a soft brush
attachment to remove dust. Spot-clean spills
with a damp cloth and mild detergent, blotting
rather than rubbing. Use a fabric-safe cleaner
for stubborn stains.
• Maintenance: Rotate the chair periodically to
ensure even wear. Avoid prolonged sunlight
exposure to prevent fading. Professional
cleaning is recommended for deep cleaning to
maintain fabric quality.
• Bayfit® Polyurethane Foam Padding:
• Cleaning: Spot-clean spills immediately with a
dry cloth to prevent absorption. Avoid soaking,
as foam can retain moisture and degrade.
• Maintenance: Ensure proper ventilation to
prevent mustiness. Fluff the padding
occasionally to maintain shape.
• Tubular Steel Frame:
• Cleaning: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and
mild detergent, then dry thoroughly to prevent
rust or water spots. Use a metal polish or
vinegar-water solution for smudges or
fingerprints.
• Maintenance: Check for loose welds or screwsperiodically and tighten if needed. Avoid
abrasive scrubbers to prevent scratches on the glossy finish.
• Hard Polyurethane Shell:
• Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild
detergent, drying immediately to avoid streaks.
For stubborn marks, use a non-abrasive cleanesafe for polyurethane surfaces.
• Maintenance: Protect from direct sunlight to
prevent fading or yellowing. Avoid sharp objectsthat could scratch the surface.
• General Tips: Place the chair on a flat, stable
surface to prevent tipping. Use a protective
cover or throw during heavy use to minimize
wear. For specific care, consult Vintara Design’s
customer support, as material finishes may vary.
