Seat colors and leg finish

The Esedra Soft Seat keeps Esedra's walnut veneer back and solid ash legs but adds a padded PPM-S seat, which makes it the version to choose for restaurants and dining rooms where people sit through long meals. Black PPM-S is the practical, all-purpose choice; wheat PPM-S is a light, warm neutral that flatters walnut. The steel frame comes in matt black for an understated Mid-Century look or in bronze (gold) for hospitality interiors that want a metallic accent. The 17.7 in seat height and 21.2 in width fit standard dining tables and banquette layouts.

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.
