Product Information

Full details

The Driade Roly Poly Armchair in Light Grey is designed for individuals seeking to infuse their living spaces with sculptural art and inviting comfort. Its key benefit is the unique blend of monolithic design and immersive seating, creating a distinctive focal point. A potential consideration is that its low seat height may not be suitable for all users, and cushions are sold separately. This armchair is characterized by its deep seat, wide cylindrical legs, and linear yet soft form, appearing as if carved from stone, and is made from durable rotationally molded polyethylene.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the 'Roly Poly' armchair comfortable without cushions?

The armchair features a deep seat designed for comfort, but the ultra-soft padded cushions (sold separately) significantly enhance the immersive and plush seating experience. Without cushions, the comfort level is more basic.

Can I use the armchair outdoors year-round?

Yes, the armchair is made from rotationally molded polyethylene, making it suitable for outdoor use. However, for longevity and to maintain color vibrancy, it's advisable to protect it from prolonged direct sunlight and extreme weather conditions, or consider storing it indoors during harsh winter months.

What are the dimensions of the armchair?

The armchair has the following dimensions: Height: 63 cm, Width: 84 cm, Depth: 57 cm. The seat height is 32 cm.

What is the Roly Poly armchair made of?

The armchair is made of rotationally molded polyethylene, which is a durable and versatile plastic material.

Does the armchair come assembled?

Yes, the product is delivered fully assembled, requiring no additional setup or construction.

Where are the Roly Poly cushions available?

The compatible Roly Poly indoor fabric cushions are sold separately on the Driade website or through authorized retailers.

What is the design inspiration behind the Roly Poly armchair?

The Roly Poly armchair is designed by Faye Toogood and is inspired by simple, massive forms from naive art and primitivism, aiming to create furniture that merges sculpture with everyday use.

Will the delivery team remove the packaging?

No, the delivery transporters do not remove or dispose of the item's packaging.

Troubleshooting

Armchair is wobbly or unstable.

Ensure the armchair is placed on a level surface. As it is a single-piece molding, significant wobbling might indicate an uneven floor.

Surface scratches or scuffs appear.

Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, consider using a plastic cleaner specifically designed for polyethylene, or consult the manufacturer for recommended repair methods. Avoid using abrasive pads.

Fading of the light grey color.

Fading is typically due to prolonged UV exposure. To minimize fading, keep the armchair out of direct, intense sunlight for extended periods or use it primarily in shaded outdoor areas or indoors. If fading occurs, it is generally irreversible.

Delivered item does not fit through doorway.

This is a delivery logistics issue. Ensure measurements were taken correctly before ordering. Unfortunately, if the item cannot fit, return policies specific to the retailer will apply, and packaging removal is not provided.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Driade Roly Poly Armchair is delivered fully assembled, meaning no construction is required upon arrival. The primary setup consideration involves its placement within your space. Ensure you have verified all entry points of your home (doorways, hallways, elevators) are large enough to accommodate the armchair's dimensions before ordering.

Compatibility:

Cushions: This armchair is compatible with the Roly Poly indoor fabric cushions, which are sold separately. These cushions are designed to fit snugly into the chair's curves for enhanced comfort.
Environment: Due to its rotationally molded polyethylene material, the armchair is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. However, prolonged exposure to harsh direct sunlight may cause fading over time.

Care:

To maintain the appearance of your Roly Poly armchair:

Cleaning the Shell: Wipe the polyethylene shell with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying with a soft cloth.
Cushion Care: Follow the specific care instructions provided with the Roly Poly cushions, as they are typically made of fabric and may require different cleaning methods (e.g., spot cleaning, professional cleaning).
Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the material's finish.
Winter Storage (Optional): For extended protection, especially in climates with harsh winters, consider storing the armchair indoors or covering it during prolonged periods of non-use.
