Seat upholstery. PPM is a polyurethane performance leather with a soft, leather-like hand. The gold velvet is a plush pile fabric. Camira Era is a woven contract fabric, and Camira Blazer is a pure new wool contract fabric in deeper, richer colors. Screens show color slightly differently than real life.

Leg finishes

The Crescent MW is the everyday workhorse of the collection: the curved Crescent seat on four tapered metal legs, simple enough for a family kitchen and sturdy enough for a busy cafe. MW stands for metal and wood, and the legs come in black, stainless steel, or steel wrapped in walnut or natural wood veneer. Order it as a fixed chair, or add a memory swivel mechanism that lets the seat turn and then return to face the table; it raises the seat by 1 in. The seat is a sprung steel frame in molded polyurethane foam with a zippered slipcover.

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.
