Seat upholstery. Gakko is offered in PPM (solid or two-tone, white inside), white boucle, three Camira Blazer wools and black full-grain leather. Screens show color slightly differently than real life.

Leg finishes

The Gakko Dining chair is the core of the collection: the sculpted, folded-back Gakko shell on four straight chrome steel tube legs with plastic tips. Straight legs take the least floor space of any Gakko base, so chairs pack closely around a round table or along a banquette. The look is clean and Contemporary, and the shell's forward-folding top gives more shoulder support than a typical side chair. Rated for 300 lb, it works as hard in a restaurant as it does in a dining room.

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.
