Seat upholstery. The Seneca seat is padded and covered in black PPM-S, a silicone-finish performance leather that wipes clean.

Leg finish

The Seneca pairs an oval back of natural cane, framed in solid black ash, with a round padded seat in black PPM-S on slim matte black steel legs. It mixes Industrial structure with the warmth of woven cane, a combination that suits cafés, bakeries and modern kitchens alike. The steel frame keeps it light and narrow at 18 in wide, so more chairs fit around a round table. The maker describes it as stackable, which helps when a café or event room needs floor space at the end of the day.

Care

Wipe PPM and faux leather with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then dry. Dust the cane with a soft brush and keep it away from direct heat and long, strong sun, which dry the weave. Wipe the frame with a dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. Cane, wood and upholstery vary naturally in tone from piece to piece.
