Frequently asked questions & answers

General information

Livom was founded in October 2020 by Tamara, Marco & Sandro. What began as a small startup quickly grew into an international startup specializing in sustainable furniture.

Our sofas are produced in Europe by our manufacturers who specialize in sofas.

The sofas are sustainable for many reasons. Because they are modular, they can be used completely flexibly. The sofas can be extended or reduced in size as required. If individual elements break, you can simply replace them without having to replace the whole sofa. The covers are removable and washable. This means that individual covers can be replaced if necessary, or the entire sofa can be replaced with a new one. Color by buying only the fabric covers for the whole sofa. 

It's also good for the environment. The sofa is only produced when it is ordered. In other words, there is no mass production and production takes place using solar energy. Our sofas are also made in Europe, so we can keep transportation routes short. In addition, two trees are planted for each order with the help of the OneTreePlanted organization. 

We only use FSC-certified wood and our fabrics are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified. You can therefore be sure that no banned substances (carcinogenic dyes) or other unhealthy materials are used.

Depending on use, the lifespan is between 7-15 years. However, as all elements can be replaced again and again, it will accompany you for a lifetime 😉

Care & usage instructions

It depends on what kind of stain it is. For small stains, you can easily remove the stain with a damp cloth, a little washing-up liquid and circular movements. Otherwise, simply place the individual cover with the stain in the washing machine and put it back on freshly washed.

We recommend washing the covers at 30 degrees on a delicate cycle.

All fabrics are suitable for pets. The hair can be easily removed with a lint roller or a damp cloth. In addition, the fabrics are so tightly woven that cat claws cannot easily claw out the inside. And if one or two spots do get scratched, you can simply replace a single cover and the sofa is as good as new again. What's more, all the fabrics are super practical because you can simply wash them if your cute furry friends stain them.

The elements are simply attached with Velcro fasteners. They hold together perfectly and even children jumping around won't cause the elements to slide apart. 😉

1. remove the covers from the sofa (and sort them by color if necessary)
2. fold back the Velcro strips so that they do not get caught anywhere
3. turn the cover inwards
4. place the cover in the drum
5. add detergent*
6. select gentle program 30 °C, adjust spin speed to minimum, start and wait...
7. shake out the covers and ideally hang them up to dry in the fresh air
8. do not iron - reupholster the sofa straight away and enjoy

We also recommend
- Turn the covers inside out
- Use a laundry bag

We recommend the following detergents:

- Powder detergent
- mild detergent
- Liquid detergent
- Washing strips

We advise against using fabric softener and bleach so that your cover does not lose quality.

To avoid marks and scratches on the floor, we recommend placing a protective felt on the legs. You can buy this at any DIY store. Over time and through use, the felt wears out and needs to be replaced.

Our sofas with wooden legs are already supplied with protective felt.
