Seat upholstery. Cefalu seats are made to order: choose the material here and we will confirm the color with you. PPM carries a 5-year guarantee; Camira Era fabric and Camira Blazer wool carry 10 years.

Frame finishes

Cefalu is a sculptural dining armchair in solid ash: a continuous curved top rail forms the back and arms, and two Y-shaped splats rise from the seat to hold it, a quiet nod to Mid-Century Danish chairs. The upholstered seat pad sits inside the frame, so the wood stays the focus. Choose a walnut finish for warmth or wenge for a darker, Japandi mood, then the seat material, from PPM and Camira fabric up to full-grain leather and Camira Blazer wool. It is a made-to-order chair suited to refined dining rooms and upscale restaurants.

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.
