Base in beech with glossy lacquer finish or ash with open-pore matte lacquer finish. Laces. In exposed thin black saddle leather contained inside a grommet developed to simplify connecting the backrest to the structure. Padding. Recycled pet fibre and elements made of polyurethane with a percentage of polyols derived from biological sources and in circularrefoam®.
