Introducing the NOMAD YAK Lounge Chair, a stunning piece that merges traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. This chair isn't just a piece of furniture; it's a statement of style and sustainability. Inspired by the nomadic lifestyles of herdsmen, each chair showcases the natural beauty and durability of yak hair, which is rarely used in commercial applications due to its unique properties.
Aside from its aesthetic appeal, the NOMAD YAK Lounge Chair is a testament to ethical production practices. We prioritize environmental responsibility by hand-cutting the yak hair, thus avoiding pollution caused by chemical processing. Instead, we empower local herdsmen by collaborating with them to create a product that respects their traditions while contributing to the modern marketplace.
Inspired by the life of the herdsmen, it shows the natural beauty and durability of yak hair.

Care
Care
Every MATSU piece is made from carefully selected materials. With a little regular care it will keep its character for many years. If you have any questions, our team is happy to advise.
Yak leather
Dust weekly with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a cloth lightly moistened with mild soapy water, wipe in circular motions and dry immediately. Avoid harsh cleaning agents and direct sunlight. Condition every three to six months with a suitable leather balm.
Wood
Dust weekly with a soft, lint-free cloth; clean with a damp cloth and a drop of mild soap, then dry immediately. Treat occasionally with beeswax or furniture oil, working with the grain. Protect from direct heat, strong sunlight and large changes in humidity, and wipe up spills straight away.
Kvadrat and Gabriel fabrics
Vacuum regularly with an upholstery attachment. Treat stains by dabbing with a mild soap or upholstery-shampoo solution, working from the outside in, then blot dry and leave to air-dry. Test any cleaner on a hidden area first; avoid steam cleaning, soaking and harsh chemicals. For heavily used pieces, we recommend an annual professional clean.
