Care & Maintenance
Care & Maintenance
- Daily Cleaning: For regular maintenance, we recommend using a soft, microfiber cloth dampened with water or a mild, pH-neutral detergent to remove surface oils. Never use abrasive pads, steel wool, or scouring powders. These will cause permanent scratches and dull the specific luster of the finish
- Disclaimer: Please note that the use of third-party cleaning agents or chemical coatings is at the user's discretion. Populate cannot be held responsible for changes in surface luster, discoloration, or adverse reactions caused by these substances. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first

The Sambar 1 is a tall stool designed to provide more than just seating. With its commanding octagonal seat and clean architectural lines, it stands as a sculptural piece, a nod to the solid and enduring forms of a pavilion.
Meticulous workmanship is etched into every detail, beginning with the seat pan. Stamped and folded along the outer perimeter, its eight crease lines reinforce the sheet metal, delivering both structural strength and a deliberate visual aesthetic.
A commitment to craft defines the Sambar 1’s legs. Unlike easy extrusion, each is formed from eight bent and welded sheets of steel. This unique approach gives a new perspective to a familiar form.
