Seat upholstery. Each option pairs a wire seat frame (black powder coat, chrome or brass) with a removable seat and back pad. Every pad fits every frame; pad swatches are shown once. PPM-FR is a flame-retardant polyurethane performance faux leather. Screens show color slightly differently than real life.

Seat frame and base finishes

On the Zebra Sword, the wire shell swivels on four flat steel blades that splay out like sword tips, a sharper, more graphic base than round legs. It suits Modern dining rooms and restaurants that want the Zebra's pattern with a crisp silhouette underneath. The blades come in black, gold, or steel wrapped in walnut or natural wood veneer, and the shell in black, chrome or brass, so you can go all-black, warm wood or full metallic. A removable seat and back pad sits in the shell.
