Seat and Frame. Seat and back are padded and covered in wheat PPM-S, a breathable silicone performance leather that wipes clean. Screens show color slightly differently than real life.

Frame finishes

The Perla Soft Seat chair keeps Perla's splayed Industrial steel frame and single-spine back, but swaps the bare plywood for padded seat and back pads upholstered in wheat PPM-S. The result is a cafe chair you can sit in through a long dinner, with a warm, light upholstery tone that softens the steel. Choose a matte black frame for a classic workshop look or a bronze (gold) frame for a more polished room. The PPM-S cover wipes clean, and the chair is rated for 300 lb for home and restaurant use.

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.
