A steel structure forms back and seat; elastic belts do the springing; moulded foam and shaped foam, with polyester wadding at the points of highest comfort, pad them. Four cast aluminium feet stand on a tubular steel frame.

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.
