Kalmarsund

Armchair

Design Lars Gunnars

This robust armchair is made for use in gardens, parks and alongside urban streets. Part of the Kalmarsund furniture suite, the armchair’s contemporary shape and sleek profile suit a wide variety of outdoor settings. Placed together, two armchairs create an attractive pair of seats, or can be grouped around a table with several others to form a seating arrangement or dining area. The armchair complements the Kalmarsund benches, which are available in two- or three-seater versions, wall-mounted or freestanding. The armchair’s seat, backrest and frame are available in a variety of colours, making it easy to coordinate with a design scheme. The armrests for the armchair and Backed bench are now extended for increased accessibility.

Materials and surface treatments

Pine

Nola's pine is of high quality and comes from sustainable forestry. Pine is an environmentally friendly, domestically produced material. Damaged or untreated pine is quite easily attacked by decomposition processes; therefore, it is particularly important to repair damaged surfaces.

Mahogany - FSC-certified

FSC-marked mahogany is a wood with good durability in the outdoor environment. In addition, it retains its color tone better than, for example, oak and teak. Mahogany lives and moves, sometimes more than teak.

Oak

Oak is a heavy, hard and medium tough wood. Moderately dimensionally stable in case of moisture changes. Oak wood blackens if it is exposed to moisture or wetness for a long time. However, it does not affect the other properties of the wood. Thanks to its hardness and toughness, the oak wood is suitable for furniture and other use in exposed environments.

Oil based glaze

Varnishing of wood is done with a oil-based varnish. Under normal use, the paint has a good wear resistance and long durability.

Wood oil

Wood oil provides good protection against the stresses of the outdoor climate and at the same time highlights the wood's natural appearance and properties.

Linax

After traditional impregnation according to NTR AB, the wood is boiled in a hot linseed oil with or without color pigments under vacuum. The oil is penetrated into the surface on all six sides, which reduces moisture absorption in the wood and gives a dimensionally stable product over time. The result is a dried product with good resistance to rot that also has long maintenance intervals. Linax-impregnated furniture is intended for outdoor environments only.

Steel

Nola uses high-quality steel with good strength in our products. Steel rusts if left untreated and must therefore be surface treated. 

Electrogalvanized

Electrogalvanizing (also known as zinc plating) provides corrosion protection through the sacrifice of zinc ions. It is created via a zinc coating on the steel using an electric current.

Powder coating

Powder coating is a coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint, powder coating is usually applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. The result is an even, hard-wearing coloured surface with the desired gloss level.

Assembly and placement

In-ground

Cast in ground.

Surface mount

Can be bolted above ground, to the floor or to a cast-in-place foundation. Bolts not included.

Mounted to wall

Bolted in place to stand/wall bracket.

Bolts for walls not included.

Seat and back fully assembled. Legs are delivered separately.

Maintenance

Oil-based glaze

Products treated with oil-based topcoat must be maintained regularly with alkyd oil paint. Maintenance intervals approx. 1 time per year. Damage and cracks should be repaired immediately. Paint on spray packaging are available in standard colors to order.

Oiled oak

Oiled oak should be oiled twice a year for best protection. Good maintenance can never completely prevent stains from occurring, but oak that is not maintained will turn blacker and turn gray faster, but it still has a very long life. When re-oiling products, a finely boiled oil that penetrates the wood should be chosen over a film-forming oil.

Oiled mahogany

Oiled mahogany should be oiled two times a year.

Linax impregnated pine

Linax is a linseed oil-based impregnation that provides extra long durability in outdoor environments and corresponds to impregnation class AB. The impregnated wood turns gray over time, which means that it should be re-oiled if necessary. Use a linseed-based oil for impregnated materials.

Powdercoated steel

Products that are powder-coated can be touch-up painted with alkyd paint.
