Seat upholstery. Faux leather is the entry option. PPM, PPM-FR and PPM-S are polyurethane performance leathers, the black boucle is a looped, textured fabric, and Camira Blazer is a woven wool contract fabric. Screens show color slightly differently than real life.

Leg finishes

The Athena Pyramid MW stool gives a kitchen island a real armchair: the curved Athena shell on four splayed steel legs that meet at a swivel, with a footrest ring wrapping the legs below. Steel legs are slimmer than wood, so the stool looks lighter at the counter while still feeling solid. Choose legs faced in walnut or natural veneer with a chrome footrest, or black steel with a brass footrest for a dressier look. A sprung steel frame cast in polyurethane foam makes the seat comfortable enough for a full meal.

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. Wipe the metal base with a soft, dry cloth; skip abrasive pads and harsh cleaners, which dull plated and powder-coated finishes. Leather and fabric vary slightly in shade from batch to batch.
