Story
Two ways to stitch
Stitching differs by cover on the sheet: leather has contrast stitching along the seams and on the outer faces, fabric has tone-on-tone stitching. Removing the cover is possible only on the fabric version.
Metal legs only
The sheet restricts wood legs to the armchair, its Large version and the ottoman, so for Archibald A it gives metal legs in three finishes, which the page names titanium painted steel, gunmetal and burnished.
