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

Barcelona Sword sets the high-back armchair on four angled steel-tube blades that radiate from a swivel hub, finished in black or in a walnut tone. The silhouette nods to the classic Mid-Century lounge chair while staying lighter and easier to place. It turns freely and leans back 3°, so it works as a TV chair, a reading chair or a statement piece by a window. The 28.7 in blade span keeps the tall back steady on hard floors and flat rugs.

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.
