Armrest finishes

Palu is an Industrial-style dining armchair: slim black powder-coated steel legs, a deep upholstered seat, a winged back that wraps the shoulders, and two solid beech armrests in a walnut or natural finish. The thin steel frame keeps it visually light, while the wide 25 in seat and 27 in arm height make it one of the more comfortable armchairs for long meals, meetings and hotel lounges. Choose flame-retardant PPM-FR for heavy restaurant use, Camira Era fabric for a soft woven look, or Camira Blazer wool for a warmer, tailored finish. It is made in Türkiye and rated for 300 lb.

Care

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.
