Story
An armchair in the BM series
Fredericia's page places the armchair next to the BM61 Chair, the BM61 Chair in linen webbing and the BM62 Armchair in linen webbing, and says the BM chair comes in different variations with a wide variety of materials and features. For this armchair the page and sheet name cane wicker as seat and back material, a natural material that Fredericia sets against polyurethane foam.

Care of the cane
The care guide on the page covers cane wicker, oiled wood and linen webbing together, and explains that regular washing keeps the flat rattan supple.
