La base girevole è in acciaio. La seduta è realizzata in poliuretano a media densità e rivestita in tessuto nautico. La base è fissa mentre la seduta ruota. Lo schienale è inclinato per offrire comfort e sostegno all'utente. È disponibile una panca imbottita come poggiapiedi. La forma richiama i volumi in legno massello e le linee definite dei mobili brasiliani degli anni Settanta.
