This aluminum chair by Restoration Hardware Baby & Child resembles a large metallic egg. The exterior of the Orbit Spitfire Chair was inspired by World War II aircrafts, while the inside is upholstered with lush black velvet. The orb shape also gives it a distinctly space age feel, despite the retro design.
The 42 inch polished aluminum chair shell has steel screw accents and is recommended for children ages six and up. The 360 degrees swivel furniture has a removable channel-sewn cushion made from plush graphite velvet. The exterior can be cared for on a daily basis by dusting with a feather duster or wiping down with a dry cloth. The shine can be maintained by buffing occasionally with a metal polish.
