Seat and Back. Francesca's seat and back are natural woven cane set in solid beech frames. Cane is a natural material, so color and weave vary slightly from chair to chair.

Base finish

Francesca is a cantilever dining chair in the Bauhaus tradition: a single bent chrome tube runs from the floor up to the back, so the seat floats with a gentle, springy give instead of sitting on four legs. The seat and back are natural woven cane in solid beech frames, light enough to keep a small dining room feeling open. It works around a glass, marble or oak table and suits both Modern and Mid-Century rooms. This is a promotional, in-stock chair.

Care

Dust the cane and beech frame with a soft brush or dry cloth. Wipe spills right away with a barely damp cloth and let the cane air-dry; never soak it. Keep cane away from radiators and strong direct sun, which can make it brittle. Wipe the chrome base with a soft, dry cloth.
