Seat upholstery. The padded seat is upholstered in hazelnut PPM-S (502-33), a warm, mid-brown performance leather with a soft silicone finish that wipes clean. Screens show color slightly differently than real life.

Frame finishes

Florence is an all-wood dining chair in solid ash, built around a wide, curved top rail that cradles the shoulders and two straight back posts that run down into the rear legs. A padded hazelnut PPM-S seat adds comfort and a warm accent against the frame, which comes in black for a graphic Japandi look or walnut for a classic Mid-Century dining room. The low, open back keeps sight lines clear across the table, and at 24 in wide the seat feels generous. Solid ash joinery suits homes and restaurants alike; for heavy commercial use the maker recommends adding stretchers.

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.
