Metals:
Most metals on Konekt pieces are delivered with a live finish unless specified differently. The live finishes are designed to naturally patina over time.

-Maintenance:
-To clean, dust gently with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
-Un-lacquered polished brass/bronze surfaces can be re-polished using a polishing cream with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
-Do not use polisher or cleaning chemicals on any satin brass/bronze, blackened brass/bronze or patinated brass/bronze finishes.
Restoration: To restore a polished finish on an item with a live or non-live finish, we recommend that they be professionally cleaned and polished.

Environmental:

The Thing 2 Stool is a delicate style that is intended for very light or decorative use only. The horse hair on the Thing 2 is contained and kept straight by the three brass rings. Individual flyaway hairs are a natural part of the design. Additionally, if the hair is accidentally snagged, pulled at or mishandled then larger amounts of hair can be pulled loose from the ring. Individual hairs that come loose from the rings cannot be placed back in, but can be easily removed by carefully snipping them with scissors from the top.

Blackened Steel and Plated Steel
Our blackened steel and plated steel products are lacquered to prevent rust. Lacquered surfaces are durable but should be treated with care as it is possible to chip, crack, or scratch the protective coating.

-Maintenance:
-To clean, dust gently with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
-Do not use any chemical cleaners, abrasives, or polishing compounds as this could affect the appearance of the finish.

Stainless Steel
Stainless steel will not patina or rust.

-Maintenance:
-To clean, gently dust with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
-Refrain from using abrasive liquids, cleaners or polishers as they may alter the appearance.

Glass:
-Maintenance: Glass can be cleaned by wiping with a soft, damp cloth or glass cleaner with no additives. Apply the glass cleaner to a soft cloth rather than directly onto the fixture to avoid overspray onto metal or other components of product.

-Restoration: Light scratches and nicks can often be addressed by a professional glass service.
