Seat upholstery. Black and light grey faux leather and cinnamon PPM-FR are the entry options. S-PPM and PPM are performance leathers that wipe clean; cherry velvet and the off-white extra-loop boucle are soft, tactile fabrics; Camira Blazer is a pure new wool contract fabric. Screens show color slightly differently than real life.

Base finishes

The oval base gives the tall Barcelona armchair an automatic-return swivel, so after each guest the chair rotates back to face the room. In a hotel lobby, a VIP lounge or an executive office that means a row of high-back chairs stays perfectly lined up without anyone fussing. The 29.5 in oval comes in polished stainless steel or black and sits low, letting the sculpted shell take the attention. A 3° tilt and a sprung seat make it comfortable for long waits.

• Tight corners: the round base is more compact

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.
