San Marco Sling
San Marco features tubular extrusions throughout the chair. Other than the finials and footrest, the chair is entirely tubular.

One of its unique characteristics is its sling rail, which is hidden between the arms and follows the curvature of the arm to the top of the chair. For comfort, the chair features a waterfall front that supports the leg and lumbar support for the back.  The overall size of the chair increases the perceived value while reducing cost, enabling the retailer to make higher margins.
