It features three new chairs in total, all of which have an upright design. It includes newly released seating, a small armchair, and a high-back armchair. It continues to grow the Fender series and features [padded armrests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/press-armchair) in order to encourage seamless comfort for those to sit, lean, and even lay across the chair. The chair itself has a steel frame that is wrapped in a thick polyurethane foam material for comfort and support. Speaking about the design, True Design states that "sitting on the armrest is no longer a childish or impertinent gesture since it is made specifically to accommodate and sustain."
