Seat upholstery. Each option pairs a wire seat frame (black powder coat, chrome, brass or polished gold) 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

The Zebra Wire Armchair sets the welded wire Zebra shell on a separate base of solid steel wire, which lets you mix finishes: a brass shell on a black base, chrome on chrome, black on brass. It is a fixed, four-footed dining armchair with the open, see-through look the Zebra is known for, at home around a marble table or along a restaurant banquette. Shells come in black, chrome, brass or polished gold; bases in chrome, black or brass. The removable seat and back pad comes in faux leather or five PPM-FR colors.

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.
