Shell Color. The Uni shell is molded polypropylene with a faceted, quilted surface that flexes slightly as you lean back.

Base finishes

Uni 550 is a stacking side chair with a polypropylene shell whose faceted, quilted pattern adds texture and gives a little flex as you lean back. The shell sits on a four-leg steel frame in chrome, white or black, and the chair is rated for indoor and outdoor use, so the same model can furnish a cafe and its terrace. It stacks up to 8 high, which suits restaurants, cafeterias, meeting rooms and event spaces. Choose the shell in white, mocha, anthracite, red or turtle dove.
