Seat upholstery. Faux leather is the entry option. PPM and PPM-FR are polyurethane performance leathers; boucle and Camira Yoredale add a looped, textured weave; Camira Blazer wool is a woven contract wool. Screens show color slightly differently than real life.

Base finishes

On the Madison Plywood, the rounded Madison shell rests on a molded plywood base whose legs are shaped from layered veneer, giving the chair a light, Scandinavian profile and a slightly lower price than the solid wood version. It suits lounges and waiting areas that want warmth without heavy timber, and it pairs well with plywood tables and shelving. The base comes in a walnut or a natural finish. The seat itself is a steel frame with S-shaped springs wrapped in injected polyurethane foam, upholstered in your choice of faux leather, PPM, boucle or Camira wool.

Planning notes

• Pick walnut to match darker floors and casegoods, natural for pale oak and birch interiors.
• The plywood base is fixed, so place the chair where it already faces the action.
• Leave roughly 30 in between chairs in a waiting row so arms do not touch.
• Plywood is a lighter-weight base than solid wood, which makes the chair easy to reposition.
• Shipping: in-stock lounge chairs ship in 3 to 5 business days. If your upholstery and base combination is out of stock or on its way to our warehouse, please allow 10 to 15 weeks for it to ship.

Who it is not for

• Spaces that need a turning seat: see the Madison swivel bases
• Damp or outdoor locations, where plywood can delaminate
• Anyone who prefers the heft and grain of solid wood: see Madison Wood

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.
