The main material is 304 stainless steel, which is hard and resistant to corrosion, so the chair is also suitable for outdoor use. The frame is shaped by blanking, bending, heating, stretching, welding and polishing. The curves follow the sitting posture of the body. The chair suits reading, drinking tea and resting.
