One sled instead of a column

The sheet calls the chair a cantilever armchair and describes its base as steel with a bladed section, in black painted or chromed finish. The sheet lists a rotation mechanism only for the swivel base, and gives transparent plastic caps for this one.

Sharing the shell

Its structure is given in the same words as that of the four-spoke swivel chair: moulded polyurethane foam with a metal insert, so the two share one shell and differ in the base.
