In 1960 the scientist, inventor and musician Manfred Clynes coined the term cyborg,
which then grew ever more popular thanks to innumerable sci-fi novels and films; it
designates an organism that combines natural and artificial elements. Marcel Wan-
ders Studio interprets this fusion as the expression of a continuous search for new
combinations, in today’s world, where it seems there is nothing truly new left to in-
vent. This is the background to the creation of Cyborg, a seat with a highly resistant
and versatile polycarbonate shell. The seat can then be completed with backrests in
a selection of different natural or synthetic materials: from polycarbonate to wicker,
from solid wood to the upholstered versions with fabric or leather cover. This further
evolution of the chair is in equal parts poetic and technological, cosy and surprising,
in keeping with the widest range of different settings.

Information
The design of the Cyborg armchair is based on an industrial part consisting of the
four very simple plastic legs, almost basic, deliberately “non-designed” and on an ar-
tisanal “designed” part, the backrest, which can be made of wicker, polycarbonate,
solid wood or upholstered with covers in fine fabrics or in leather. And tomorrow it
could be made of other materials. It is precisely the backrest that dictates the chair’s
expressive and aesthetic quality. Therefore, a never-ending design story.

PRODUCT CARE
For the plastic parts we recommend using a soft rag, either dry or wet. When needed, use
ph-balanced soap diluted in water.
For wicker parts we recommend using a soft brush or a wet chamois leather. Small irregularities
which might be visible on the surface and colours changes in time, should not be considered as
faults, but on the contrary as results of the material nature.
For the wooden part we recommend using cleaning products specifics for wood. Do not use
abrasive sponges as they may leave scratches.
For the upholstered versions: Daily care and immediate stain removal will ensure that your wool
upholstery will keep looking good. It is normally sufficient to regularly vacuum and air uphol-
stered armchair. We suggest cleaning the wool fabric occasionally. Use a specific wool cleaning
soap and follow the instructions carefully. Take care never to saturate the wool fabric. Never use
undiluted cleaning agents, bleaching agents, ammonia or soap intended for hard surfaces. As a
general rule, many types of stain can be removed using lukewarm water. For greasy stains, use
a dry stain remover. For more insoluble stains (chewing gum, candle wax, etc.), use a plastic
bag filled with ice to rub the stain until the substance has become friable. Use a clean flat blunt
blade to delicately remove the substance. Be careful when using solvents, because these could
dissolve the upholstery material beneath.
For the leather version: regularly clean using a dry and soft rag. When needed, use products
especially formulated for leather. Immediately dry after the treatment. Where there was a stain of
ink or similar, use only the specific stick that is commonly available on the market. Avoid direct
exposure to sunlight or heat sources.
Do not use abrasive sponges as they may leave scratches or damage the product. Avoid using
acidic products, solvents and products containing ammonia.
Avoid exposure to sunlight. Periodic and correct maintenance allows the product to keep its
original aspect and lengthens the duration of its performance.

WARNING
Treat stains immediately, the longer they remain in the fabric, the harder it is to remove them.
Before choosing a cleaning method, always try it out on a concealed part of the chair. Do not
use different cleaning products from the ones mentioned above. Do not use the product in an
improper way. Do not place hot objects on it, sit on the back and/or on the arms, stand on it or
use the product as a ladder. Once disused, please make sure that this product is disposed in an
environment-friendly way.
