The external structure in metal is calendared. The special metallic finish is achieved through galvanization in a white-gold bath, followed by application of a transparent protective coating that lends durability and depth.

In order to guarantee the utmost levels of comfort, the structure of the seat terminates at the front in a support structure and is made of polyurethane foam with metal insert and elastic straps. These are perfectly moulded to the structure due to the contoured seat cushions and seat back.
