The seat is upholstered in deep black velvet, offering a refined, tactile contrast to the expressive carving, while the back is clad in natural zebra hide, carefully centered to showcase the graphic striping and finished with a subtle tail detail that adds sculptural interest and authenticity. Both the seat and back are trimmed with hand-applied nailhead detailing, lending a tailored finish and underscoring the chair’s craftsmanship.
