Dramatic lines of the exposed maple frame were inspired by the wheel wells on the classic 1949 Chevy pick up truck.  The arms gently slopes up towards the front of the chair to mimic the natural form of the human body.  
Use the outside arms and back of this swivel chair to create a unique look by adding a contrasting leather or fabric. 
Leather gimp and nail gives designers and high style individuals an opportunity to create something unique to you!
Notice the mechanism is covered in a beautiful maple housing to give you a unique accent not seen in swivels.

The solid White Maple frame is finished in an Aniline dye similar to process used to tan leathers.  This gives you complete transparency of grain so you can see all details in this unique wood species.
