Seat upholstery. London seats come with contrast piping: two faux leathers, cinnamon PPM-FR, white-grey boucle, two S-PPM silicone leatherettes and four PPM colors. Screens show color slightly differently than real life.

Base finishes

London Spider sets the curved, piped London armchair on a five-arm cast aluminum swivel base, turning a dining armchair into a polished meeting or desk chair. On glides it stays put at the table with an 18 in seat; with office casters it rolls on hard floors and rises to 20 in. Polished aluminum is the classic office look, black is quiet and graphic, and brass suits a residential study. The contrast piping and wraparound back keep it looking like furniture rather than a task chair.

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.
