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.

Leg finishes

On the Gazel X-Wood, four squared legs of solid ash angle out from beneath the seat, giving the shell a sculpted, almost architectural stance. The ash is sandblasted before it is stained walnut, so the open grain stays visible and slightly textured to the touch. It is the chair to choose when you want wood legs with more character than a plain turned leg. The seat itself is a sprung steel frame in molded polyurethane foam under a removable slipcover, and the model is intended for homes.

Who it is not for

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.

Frequently asked questions

What wood are the X-Wood legs?

Solid ash, sandblasted and finished in walnut.

Why is the ash sandblasted?

Sandblasting lifts the soft grain so the stained surface keeps a visible, tactile texture.

Do the angled legs take more space?

They splay slightly beyond the 21 by 22 in footprint, so leave a little extra clearance near table legs.

Is it rated for restaurant use?

No. The X-Wood is specified for residential use only.

What makes one seat cost more than another?

Faux leather is the entry tier. PPM, nubuck, boucle and Camira Era are the middle tier, and Camira Blazer wool and full-grain Italian leather are the top tier.

What is the weight limit?

350 lb.
