The frame is typically crafted from metal, often stainless steel or chrome, lending the chair a modern and industrial aesthetic.

The upholstery complements the simplicity of the chair's design while adding a touch of luxury and refinement. With its timeless design and impeccable craftsmanship, the X-chair has become an enduring symbol of Danish modern design. It seamlessly blends form and function, making it suitable for a variety of interior settings, from contemporary offices to stylish living spaces.
