BASS

BASS is a square minimalistic armchair and sofa that can be used for almost any interior design project, whether in a contemporary or traditional setting, for a public space or an executive office, BASS offers classic styling but with its own identity and characteristic.

The BASS design consists of a small, medium and large lounge seating–simple as that. All of them being extremely compact in their design and therefore very efficient when used in interior projects where space is at a premium. Even though its design is minimalistic and free of any unnecessary details BASS has its own distinct design, which is both dynamic and sleek with clean lines. The seating angle–giving BASS the comfortable feeling of a deep lounge chair–is applied by tilting the chair whereby the unique and distinct profile originates. BASS rests on the simple yet elegant tubular base and spans the depth of the emphasizes the piece which further emphasizes the clean, tailored angular lines of this simple yet sophisticated lounge collection.

Nienkämper extends the BASS Lounge Series by creating a high back version featuring high back and sides, and ultra comfortable seating that offers instant privacy within an open space. This design is exceptional in hotel lobbies, corporate lounges, libraries, or any environment where you need more privacy than a typical lounge grouping offers.

When cleaning Nienkämper leathers, use a soft clean damp cloth and a mild solution of non detergent soap, such as Ivory or Palmolive, to wash the item. The cloth must be damp, not dripping wet. Dry with a clean soft cloth, blotting any excess moisture away. Leave to dry naturally, do not use heat to dry the surface. A thorough cleaning with a fine leather milk product is recommended on an annual basis to add natural oils to the leather to keep it soft and supple.

In time all leather takes on a patina and spills generally blend into the leather giving a piece of furniture a personal character. Whenever a more serious accident occurs, please contact a leather care specialist.
