Seat upholstery. Faux leather is the entry seat. PPM and PPM-FR are polyurethane performance leathers, nubuck is a soft brushed fabric, and the boucle options include Camira Yoredale. Camira Era is a woven contract fabric, Camira Blazer is a wool cloth, and the caramel option is full-grain Italian leather. Screens show color slightly differently than real life.

Leg finishes

Gazel Arm Plywood sets the armed Gazel shell on curved legs of bent plywood, a Mid-Century construction that gives the chair a warm, continuous line from floor to seat. It sits higher than most Gazel chairs, with a 19.5 in seat, which suits taller tables and people who like a more upright position. The plywood comes in natural, wenge, or American walnut veneer, and a memory swivel can be added. The seat is a steel frame with S-shaped springs molded in polyurethane foam, for home use.

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.
