When drawing the Ellipse sofa, designer Jacques Deneef thought of an elegant piece with a generous seating. The natural fabric is woven exclusively for Ethnicraft in Belgium. Its coating repels stains, preventing small accidents of life. Available in “oatmeal” or “ash”, these sophisticated yet simple colours will fit perfectly an urban apartment as well as a country house.

Fabric Upholstery
Made using top-quality textiles, Ethnicraft's upholstered collections are comfortable, yet durable additions to any space. Do not wash upholstered items unless clearly indicated on the label attached. Removing the covers to machine or hand wash (even at a low temperature) may lighten the colour and shrink the fabric. Some items have an anti-stain treatment applied to the textile, if this is dry cleaned, the process will affect the anti-stain performance. Always pay close attention to the care symbols on the affixed label before dry cleaning.
To repel liquids and dirt, some items have a stain resistant treatment applied to the textile. If the treated fabric is dry cleaned or washed, the process will affect the anti-stain performance. Always pay close attention to the care symbols on the affixed label before dry cleaning or washing.
If pilling should occur, don’t be alarmed. It’s a result of excess fibre coming off the fabric or from external sources. This is not a defect but a characteristic of many upholstered fabrics and textiles. To remove pilling, use an antipilling machine.Avoid placing the item in direct sunlight.For dusting or removing crumbs take a clean cloth or soft brush and wipe down upholstery. Do not rub.We do not recommend vacuuming. If you do so, use the lowest suction and a soft upholstery attachment.Treat spills immediately. Blot up as much of the spill as possible with a clean, dry, white cloth. Do not rub.In case of a stain, use a clean, slightly damp white cloth, blotting from the outer edge to the centre of the stain. Do not use any chemical products on your upholstery
Leather Upholstery
Many of the hides used are left in their purest form. This means there is little or no surface treatment, allowing for the unique natural beauty of each hide to come through. It also means these pure leathers are incredibly soft to touch and will remain supple as it has not endured extra processing treatments which can make the hide stiff.
Our leather can be prone to marks and require delicate care to keep it in optimal condition. Over time, it will naturally take on a patina or soft sheen. This is the natural character brought out by regular and unique surface exposure. We do not recommend using Ethnicraft Natural Cleaner or Care & Protect on sanded or brushed leathers such as Nubuck or suede. Always test colour fastness and hide resistance on a small and inconspicuous area. Compare once dry.
In case of a stain, use a clean, slightly damp white cloth, blotting from the outer edge to the centre of the stain. Do not use any chemicals or products not designed for leather. Use a towel to evenly dry the leather. Do not use a hairdryer as it is likely to dehydrate the leather.
