This time, it is complete in a [red upholstered PVC fabric material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upholstered-furniture1). The two also join forces with accessories brand CAHU, as the plush sections of the model are covered in the wipe-clean material that has been seen on the brand's tote bags. The bright red color is joined by an off-white Cream Soda color made with a fiberglass shell, which ensures that the furniture is prepared for indoor and outdoor environments. The T4 is cemented as a piece that will transcend time. It was originally available in four shades, including yellow, pink, orange, and off-white.
