Know before you buy
Yes, the chair is designed for both indoor and outdoor environments. If you plan to use it outside, ensure you select the appropriate outdoor-rated upholstery fabric to maintain the chair's longevity.
The Freak chair is available either without a cushion or with a custom-upholstered seat. If you choose the upholstered version, the cushion is securely integrated into the design to ensure comfort and stability.
The metal frame is durable and requires minimal maintenance. Simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or debris; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the finish.
The performance varies by material; for example, Premium Eco Leather and Outdoor Fabric are generally more resistant to spills and environmental exposure, while Supreme Velvet and Pure Virgin Wool offer a softer, more luxurious feel better suited for indoor dining areas.
While all Bontempi metal finishes are high-quality, we recommend consulting the specific product care guide for your chosen finish to ensure it is rated for the level of outdoor exposure in your climate.
