Seat upholstery. Black PPM-S is a breathable silicone performance leather that wipes clean; burnt umber is a soft, rich velvet. Screens show color slightly differently than real life.

Raphael is a statement dining chair: one sculpted, fully upholstered body with a winged back that curls outward at the top and four arched legs that flow down from the seat without a visible frame. It reads as a piece of sculpture at the table, which makes it a strong choice for dining rooms, design-led restaurants, lounges and hotel suites. Choose black PPM-S for a sleek, wipe-clean finish or burnt umber velvet for warmth and texture. Despite its bold shape it is a compact 20.5 in wide and rated for 300 lb.

Who it is not for

Care

Wipe PPM-S with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then dry. Vacuum velvet with a soft brush attachment, brush the pile in one direction, and blot spills right away without rubbing.
