Know before you buy
Yes, the chair is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Because it is made from aluminum, it is naturally resistant to the elements, though we recommend cleaning it every two weeks if kept outside to maintain its finish.
No, the 1006 Navy chair is not stackable. Its structural design is focused on maximum durability and its iconic silhouette rather than space-saving storage.
Maintenance is straightforward: simply clean the chair with mild soap and water, then wipe it dry with a soft cloth. This simple routine is sufficient to keep the brushed aluminum looking its best.
No, because each chair is meticulously handcrafted through a 77-step process, you may notice subtle, unique variations in the finish. These small differences are a hallmark of the artisanal manufacturing process rather than defects.
