Seat upholstery. Faux leather is the entry option. PPM and PPM-FR are polyurethane performance leathers; velvet, boucle and Camira Era are upholstery fabrics. Camira Blazer is a pure new wool, and full-grain leather is the top tier. Screens show color slightly differently than real life.

Base finishes

The Pera Piston T is the simplest of the adjustable Pera stools: a polished stainless steel gas-lift column with a compact T-shaped footrest, on a round or a square base. The lever lifts and lowers the seat between counter and bar height, and the seat swivels, so it adapts to kitchens, bars and offices where surface heights vary. It is the value pick of the Pera piston line and a practical choice for fitting out a full counter. Above the column sits the sprung, foam-molded Pera seat with a removable Velcro slipcover.
