Olvera from House Nordic has an open frame made of natural oak and a black seat in PU leather, which is a leather-like synthetic material. The contrast between the visible wooden parts and the dark seat gives the armchair a different look than a fully upholstered lounge chair. The low back and the clearly visible wooden construction mean that Olvera can stand as a freestanding seat without the furniture arrangement feeling as compact as it would with a fully upholstered armchair.
The chair works well as an extra seat in the living room or in a defined reading nook. The natural oak is easy to visually combine with other wooden surfaces, while the black PU material picks up darker details in, for example, a lamp or a coffee table. It is primarily the interplay between the lines of the wooden frame and the defined seating area that gives Olvera its character.
The low seating position is an important factor to consider. House Nordic states a seat height of 38 cm and a seat depth of 54 cm. This is not the same seating position as in a more upright armchair with a higher seat. It is a good idea to compare it with a chair you already sit comfortably in, especially if you prefer to sit high or want to be able to stand up from the armchair without having to move forward. Olvera is 69 cm wide, 69 cm deep, and 72 cm high, so also check the space around the chair.
Material and construction. The manufacturer states oak and PU, with wooden legs and a net weight of 10.5 kg. The maximum load capacity is 110 kg. Olvera is delivered fully assembled – you do not need to assemble the legs or seat, but you should check the dimensions against the delivery route before delivery. The PU seat should not be treated like genuine leather, and the oak frame should not be oiled or sanded without product-specific instructions.
This is the natural-colored Olvera armchair with a black PU seat, item number 1101197. The series is also available in other wood types and seat colors. Pay particular attention to the materials and seat depth when choosing: Olvera in dark brown ash and black PU is not identical to the model in natural oak. A matching footstool in natural oak and black PU is available in House Nordic's range, but is not included with the armchair.

Choose the Right Olvera Model
This chair has a natural oak frame and a black PU seat. Check the item number 1101197 when comparing it with other Olvera models, as both the wood type and seat finish may differ. The dimensions are 69 × 69 × 72 cm (W × D × H), the seat height 38 cm, the seat depth 54 cm, and the seat width 59 cm according to House Nordic. Compare the low seat height especially with your current armchair.
Care for the PU Seat
PU is a synthetic, leather-like material and should not be treated with leather oil or leather balm intended for genuine leather without support in the manufacturer's instructions. Remove dust with a soft and clean cloth. In case of spills, blot up the liquid immediately and wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth if the material requires it. Always test cleaning on a less visible surface first and avoid solvents or abrasive sponges that can damage the surface finish.
How to Care for the Oak Frame
Dust the wooden frame with a soft, dry cloth and gently remove any stains without leaving standing moisture on the wooden surface. Avoid applying oil, varnish, wax, or sanding treatment without the manufacturer having specified the correct method for this particular surface treatment. Do not place the armchair where it is exposed to repeated moisture or prolonged strong direct sunlight.
Placement and Use
Olvera has an open wooden construction and a low seat. Leave space in front of and beside the armchair so that it is easy to get in and out of. Place it on a level surface and use suitable floor protectors under the wooden legs if necessary. The maximum load is stated as 110 kg. Lift the chair when rearranging to reduce the risk of scratches on both the legs and the floor.
Assembly, Footstool, and Contents
The armchair is delivered assembled; no special leg assembly is required. House Nordic also has a separate footstool in natural oak and black PU, but it is not included with this lounge chair. Always check the color and wood type if you are comparing footstools within the Olvera series, as other versions differ.
