Story
Smooth base under the seat
The sheet names a point that sets the Chester Line pieces apart from the Chester and Chester One versions: on the Chester Line pieces the base under the seat is smooth, without capitonné, while the capitonné of the backrest and armrests of armchair and sofa, and of the ottoman, is handmade.
Leather and fabric
According to the sheet the leather covers the base while a fabric can be used on the seat cushion, in the same combinations as the rest of the line: Pelle Frau® ColorSphere®, Heritage, Nest or Soul, with fabric variants (A, B, C or customer's own material) for the first four, and Velvety in leather only.
