Seat upholstery. Faux leather is the entry option. PPM, PPM-S and Italian PPM are polyurethane performance leathers; nubuck, boucle, Camira fabrics and wool give a softer, textured seat; Camira Blazer wool and black full-grain leather are the premium covers. Screens show color slightly differently than real life.

Leg finishes

The Aria Fino perches the Aria seat on the Fino base: four solid beech legs that splay outward from a central hub, a lighter, more playful stance than the straight-legged Aria Wood. In natural beech it suits bright Scandinavian kitchens; in walnut finish it sits comfortably with Mid-Century teak and walnut. The seat is the sprung, foam-molded Aria shell with a slipcover that removes with Velcro. It is a home and light-commercial chair rated for 200 lb.

• The 18 in seat suits 29 to 30 in tables.
• Rated for 200 lb; for restaurants, the Aria MW (400 lb) or Aria Wood with stretchers (350 lb) are better.

• Shipping: in-stock chairs ship in 3 to 5 business days. If your seat and leg combination is out of stock or on its way to our warehouse, please allow 10 to 15 weeks for it to ship.

Who it is not for

• Heavy commercial use or users over 200 lb: see the Aria MW
• Rooms that need solid American walnut or black legs: see the Aria Wood
• Outdoor use

Care

Wipe faux leather and PPM with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then dry. Vacuum fabric seats regularly and blot spills right away. Dust the wood with a dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. Wood, leather and fabric vary naturally in grain and shade from piece to piece.
