You are the owner of a Nicolle® chair or stool

There are marks on the seat/I can see weld marks. Is this normal?

Yes, it’s totally normal.

The traditional craft technique used to assemble NICOLLE® chairs is spot welding.

These spot welds are visible on NICOLLE® products and are one of their distinguishing features.

The backrest on my chair moves. Is this normal?

Yes. The back support on NICOLLE® chairs are made using a special metal that allows a special flexibility to work in harmony with the movement of your back.

How do I care for my Nicolle® chair or stool?

Simply dust it with a dry or slightly damp cloth.

Never use abrasive or harsh chemical cleaning products.

Avoid exposing your chair to excessive humidity.

Can I use my Nicolle® chair or stool outdoors?

Chairs and stools from the Metal collection can be used outside, on condition that you don’t leave them outside all the time and not by the seaside.

To protect against rust, we recommend a polyzinc undercoat (price €8 not incl tax per chair).

This undercoat is compatible with all paint finishes (standard and custom colours), but not with varnished finished (Matte Dark Steel or Glossy Varnish Raw) as the undercoat is colored.

Chairs and seats in the Wood & Metal and Loom & Metal collections, as well as leather pads cannot be used outdoors.

I have a Nicolle® stool, can I add a back support to turn it into a chair?

If you have a stool from the Wood & Metal range, you can add a “back support kit” (backrest + bracket + screws) to convert it to a chair as the back support bracket screws onto the wood and the set is pre-drilled to enable assembly.

If you have a Metal or Loom & Metal stool, this is not possible as the brackets require welding to the seat prior to painting.
