Seat upholstery. Faux leather is the entry seat. PPM and PPM-FR are polyurethane performance leathers, nubuck is a soft brushed fabric and the off-white boucle is a looped fabric. 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.

Base finishes

Gazel Tower lifts the Gazel shell on a steel wire base, its rods braced like a small tower beneath the seat, a nod to the classic wire-base shell chair. The open geometry keeps the chair visually airy while the braced rods keep it rigid in use. Finishes run from chrome and black to red powder coat and gold. The seat is a steel frame with S-shaped springs set in molded polyurethane foam, under a removable slipcover.

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.
