Care information
helping reduce staining
Upholstery:
Fabrics are extremely delicate; therefore, it is very important to carefully review the suggested wash and pay attention when using them, as they can be ripped or cut. We provide wear guarantees from our partners, who manufacture textiles and leather; however, without proper care and attention, they can look old and dirty well before their time. In extreme cases, they could even wear through and a hole might appear. If you care about your fabric and leather in the workplace and contract interiors, following a few simple rules can add years to their wear life and appearance, making them the most visually appealing element of furniture.
Wool and Viscose:
Vacuum your fabrics regularly to prevent dust and dirt from building up on the surface. Quickly react to spilt liquids and fresh stains. Mop up the excess liquid using a kitchen roll or a damp cloth. Then clean using a shampoo, detergent, or hand wash. Always use a branded shampoo for upholstered fabrics. Alternatively, both wool and polyester can be dry cleaned. For areas with spills or stains, a stain-repellent finish can be applied to certain fabrics, reducing stains. Alternatively, choose a wipe-down upholstery solution.
Leather:
Leathers are extremely delicate; therefore, it is very important to carefully review the suggested wash and pay attention when using them, as they can be ripped or cut. Exposing in spaces with a high humidity level might cause structural damage. Never use detergents on solvent-based or acetone-based cleaners. Clean with a soft cloth with warm water. Do not wash leather in the washing machine, dry it in the dryer, do not bleach it, iron it, or dry-clean it.
Wood:
Wipe the product with a dry, lint-free cloth. Dirty surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cotton cloth or neutral detergent, preferably diluted in water, and then wiped dry with a dry cloth. Water should be used sparingly. If liquid does not spill on the product, wipe it off immediately; it could be absorbed. Do not place hot objects directly on the surface; use coasters. Products should not be placed near heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces. If the surface treated with oil becomes dry, maintenance oil may be applied.

Orria Chair
Description
Description
The Orria Chair celebrates collaboration and craftsmanship. It was born from the creative partnership between designer Patrick Jouin, the skilled artisans of the Atelier de Recherche et de Création du Mobilier National, and the expert furniture makers at Alki. Originally envisioned for the historic Oval Reading Room at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Orria is now available to all, reflecting the library’s spirit of openness and accessibility.
Every detail of the Orria Chair speaks to its heritage and artistry. Crafted from solid oak, its seamless, organic lines and gentle curves evoke a quiet elegance, while the upholstered seat and backrest provide a welcoming embrace for hours of comfort. The chair’s thoughtful design extends to practical touches—felt glides come as standard, and each chair can be stacked up to three high, blending beauty with everyday functionality.
Orria is more than just a chair; it is a modern classic that bridges tradition and innovation. Its refined silhouette, absence of sharp angles, and meticulous joinery are a testament to Alki’s mastery of woodcraft and contemporary design. Whether placed in a reading room, reception, or workspace, the Orria Chair offers a graceful nod to French culture and a warm invitation to sit, reflect, and connect.
