QUALITY Already at birth of the product idea quality must be part of the project - quality within the purpose, shape, function, method as well as in the material. Quality can never be a separate factor being attached afterwards. Our promise of highest possible quality is confirmed by 6 years’ warranty against manufacturing defects on material and construction!

INSPIRATION The word “inspiration” comes from Latin “inspiro”, which means “wake to life”. And this is exactly what we at Skipper would like to do – employ our challenging design and countless richly coloured materials as fuel for your creativity and fantasy and inspire you to create your very own dream sofa/armchair.
EXPECTATIONS It is Skipper’s never-wavering commitment and ambition to always meet customer expectations – whether of the products themselves or of any service matters in connection with your order. We give you a multitude of options in design and colour, but rest assured, even if, on the off chance, they are not enough to meet your needs, we will do everything to adapt the furniture to your desires. It is a matter of attitude, and our attitude is that we can create a Skipper model for everyone. • Choose among hundred of different colours for both fabrics and several different grades of leather. • Choose among two different types of upholstery – cold foam and cold foam with down. • Most of our sofas are available with low/high or narrow/wide armrests respectively. • If you like lounging on your sofa, you may be better off with two wide seat cushions instead of three small ones. • Different edge seams in optional colours can make the sofa extra cool. • An accessory could be buttons in different colours, see UNI, p. 26. • Many of our armchairs have adjustable headrest cushions. 18
FORM & FUNCTION Even when you choose to take the role of head designer and create your own unique shape for your sofa/armchair, we at Skipper will make sure that you will be sitting comfortably. Good sitting comfort is defined in different ways by different users. The cooperation between our designers (see p. 27) and our skilled developers is a 100% guarantee that we’ll realise our vision of optimum sitting comfort combined with state-of-the-art Scandinavian design. Both design and comfort are experienced differently by different people, but the multitude of different options we offer when it comes to colour, upholstery, wood, etc. allows you to make your vision a reality and create the perfect piece of furniture for your home.
QUALITY 6 years warranty
Quality is guaranteed already when the product idea is conceived on the drawing board – we always choose materials of the very best quality. All of our furniture is produced at our own production units, all of which in the Nordic countries, with guaranteed craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. However, ecological considerations play an ever more important role in our selection of materials, and our goal is to choose locally produced materials to the extent this is humanly possible. Our policy is founded on our belief that the way we treat the environment now shapes the way the future will look for our children. Skipper gives 6 years warranty for production defects.

uni The UNI sofa and armchair are nothing short of brilliant representatives of Skipper’s ambition for a perfect combination of comfort and design. The beauty of their rear sides favours a stand-alone placement. Just like all other of Skipper’s products, UNI is available in both fabric and different grades of leather. Leg frame in solid wood, oak, beech, or with chromiumplated steel legs. Upholstery in flame-proof cold foam (CMHR) providing superb sitting comfort. UNI saves space – the sofa is only 143 cm wide, and the armchair is 63 cm wide. The armchair is available with both low and high back. Available with protective seat cloth, detachable seat lining, and additional armrest cover as optional details.

It is always the aim to create furniture complying with practical und functional needs, and meeting as well some design quality demands.
