The 807 chair is built on a frame made of inner woodwork with plywood, laminated pine, and components in birch and spruce. The seat base features Nosag springs for added comfort.

The cushions have a polyurethane foam core, topped and bottomed with KospoFe. KospoFe consists of small pieces of polyester and down feathers, placed in pockets above and below the foam core, making the cushions soft and comfortable.

The 807 can be upholstered in a wide range of fabrics from Innvik, as well as in aniline and semi-aniline leather from Elmo.

Its distinctive cross-shaped base is made of black powder-coated steel, providing 360-degree swivel functionality with a gently reclined angle.

We recommend vacuuming the chair regularly using medium suction and a gentle nozzle, preferably with a soft brush. Be careful not to use objects with sharp edges. For stains on fabric upholstery, use a lint-free cloth or sponge. Warm and wring out the cloth or sponge, then press it evenly over the area to lift impurities. Avoid rubbing the fabric, as this can damage the fibers.

If the chair is upholstered in leather, we recommend following Elmo Leather’s care instructions  and using their maintenance products. Please contact us if you need care products—we’re happy to assist you.
