Era Nouveau Frame
Era Nouveau uses premium quality materials, complying with the strictest international regulations for wood frame construction. Our frame design is highly sophisticated, extremely durable and features an interlocking arm assembly. While most motion furniture has arms held on my two or three bolts, Era Nouveau integrates our arms into the main frame assembly. This creates a solid arm foundation to avoid the possibility of an arm coming loose or even falling off.
Frame Care
Era Nouveau frames are build structurally sound and designed for normal daily residential use. The following actions should be avoided. They can cause undue frame stress and mechanism failure; jumping on the furniture, sitting on the arm or back, moving the furniture by pushing or pulling it. If the furniture needs to me moved, avoid lifting from the armrest and arm pillows, the correct way to move the furniture is by lifting from the base or underside of the arms.
Cushions
Era Nouveau seats cushions start with a premium 2.2 High Density foam core. The foam cores are wrapped with plush polyester fiber for added comfort, appearance and longevity. Our back cushions are channeled to minimize migration or pooling of the fill as well as adding additional support to the more sensitive areas of ones body. (i.e. lumbar support and headrests)
Cushion Maintenance
If one particular seat or back becomes "worn in" or the seat firmness changes, these are normal occurrences for all upholstered furniture. In order to ensure the cushions return to their intended look, you can simply model or smooth the cushions by hand.
Leather
Era Nouveau uses only premium leather. Our leather is soft, luxurious, durable, making it an ideal choice for everyday use and relaxation. Leather is a natural product offering four to five times the durablity of fabric upholstery. Genuine premium leather will exhibit natural characteristic such as healed scars, wrinkles, insect bites, veining, variations in grain and also color. These markings show Era Nouveau takes great pride and care when tanning and finishing our leather to insure it is never over processed and pigmented.
Leather Care
With correct care, leather improves with age, providing many years of enjoyable use. Even the very best leather, will deteriorate if not maintained properly. To maintain the look and feel of your leather furniture, please take the following under consideration.
Climate is a determining factor when caring for leather. Humid climates usually require cleaners to remove excess body oils and perspiration. While drier climates may require moisturizing the leather more frequently.
Dust, dirt and other matter, like pet hair, can effect the surface finish. If not regularly removed, there is risk of surface abrasion.
Direct sunlight can fade and dry out leather, especially leather finished with oils or waxes. It is recommended to avoid direct sunlight for all leather.
Direct air vents both hot and cold can dry out leather, resulting in a rough finish and can potentially cause cracking or peeling.
Operating manual and powered mechanism
The majority of Era Nouveau product features the Leggett and Platt "Wall Saver" mechanism. The seat and back move forward during deployment, needing only three to four inches of clearance from the wall for full recline extension. Deployment of the manual recliner is achieved by simply pulling the release handle. This activates the incline function for the backrest and allows the footrest to release and extend.
Era Nouveau uses Okin power drive systems exclusively. The power mechanism will recline the backrest and raise the footrest with the press of a button. Press the forward button to open the unit and the rear button to close the unit. Power units offer maximum comfort selection via the multi positional functionality. The units can be stopped at any point between closed and fully extended, allowing almost limitless comfort options. The power drive system takes only 8 seconds to completely open or close.
Mechanism Care
Era Nouveau mechanisms are engineered and designed under strict specifications for quality and function. With all precision moving parts, extra care should always be taken when operating. The mechanisms are aligned to allow the foot rest extender to pocket neatly under the mechanism. Powered motion furniture will operate smoothly and continuously, if allowed to open and close under it's own power. Applying force or pressure to manually assist the mechanism closed will result in misaligning or bending the foot rest extenders, causing mechanism failure.
CAUTION: When operating both powered and manual mechanisms, beware of entrapment, keep hands and fingers clear of the mechanism when operating. Ensure children and pets are not playing or laying in the way when the mechanism is operated. Ensure all cables are kept clear of the mechanism under the furniture.
