Seat upholstery. The Falcon seat comes in five PPM-S colors (a silicone-finish performance leatherette) or two Camira Blazer wool fabrics. Screens show color slightly differently than real life.

Base finishes

Falcon MW puts the Falcon shell on an Eiffel-style base: four angled steel legs braced by crossed wire rods, with a round footrest ring set inside the frame. MW stands for metal and wood, and the legs come in black, stainless steel, or steel wrapped in natural or walnut wood veneer. It is a graphic, Mid-Century-inspired stool that reads light from every angle, which suits cafes and open-plan kitchens. Add the memory swivel and the seat turns, then settles back to center.

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.
