The piece features a cast aluminum frame, and it is upholstered in a brown leather. The back of the chair is done in a coordinating brown fabric designed by Alexander Girard. The seat has plush cushions that are 2 inches thick, and features an adjustable four-star aluminum base.

This chair measures 17.75 inches long, 23 inches wide, and 33.75 inches high. The seat height is 22.25 inches.
