cover with weft edge detail. Leather models have a fabric insert on the underside of the seat in a compatible colour.

Arms: Self-skinning textured black polyurethane cushion-jacket that surrounds rigid steel inserts.

Column and base: Central column made of telescopic tubes in black textured polypropylene.

Base: five star precision die cast aluminium in protective black RilsanTM finish.

Optional soft-wheel castors: textured black polyamide wheels incorporating a grey soft polyurethane shroud. Castors are designed to roll smoothly on hard floors such as marble or parquet without causing damage.
