Seat upholstery

With the Academy Soft Seat Dining Armchair, sohoConcept set out to make an everyday armchair feel tailored: a black PPM-S seat on steel frame. Behind the quiet lines is contract-grade construction meant for years of daily use.
The Design Story
Since 2000, sohoConcept has worked from one idea: strip a piece back to what matters, then build it to last. That clean-lined language is equally at home in a residence or a hotel; the studio's furniture has been specified for W Hotels New York, Aloft Brooklyn and the Delta Hotels in Toronto.
Inside, the armchair is built on a bent steel tube, matt black or bronze (gold) finish.

Living With It
Clean leather-look and leather seats with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a little mild soap, then dry them. Vacuum woven fabrics with a soft brush attachment and blot spills straight away; never rub. Keep wood away from direct heat and sun, and dust it with a dry cloth. Wipe metal with a dry microfiber cloth; skip scouring pads.
