The chairs are all constructed with a [copper-infused mesh](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/copper-cooling-gel-pillow) that is achieved by physically embedding the EPA-registere copper into the fibers of the seat. This will help the chair to immediately feature a permanent self-sanitizing design that is anti fungal, antiviral, biocidal and anti-odor without having to worry that it will wear off in time like topical treatments. The Via Seating Copper Mesh Chairs come in a [range of style options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atlanta-airport-chairs) to choose from and are ideal for placement in healthcare environments or public spaces to keep them free from germs between uses.
