On a furniture schedule this collection takes five lines and one drawing. 3700, 3711 and 3701 are the chairs — four legs in oak-veneered plywood, four legs in chromed or powder-coated steel, steel sled — and 3703 and 3713 are the bar stools, both on the sled, at 25.6 in and 29.5 in. Above them nothing changes: the same plywood shell in sliced oak veneer, bare or with a seat cushion in fabric, leather or coated fabric. For a specifier that is the practical value — a dining room, a huddle room, a hotel bar and a home office are filled from one family, a later phase adds a base without redrawing anything, and there is no wood colour to match between shipments because only one finish exists. The schedule itself comes back from La Mercanti code by code, with base and upholstery written under each line.

FAQ

How many codes does a full specification need?
Five cover the collection: 3700, 3711 and 3701 for the chairs, 3703 and 3713 for the stools, all sharing one shell.
What are the stool heights in inches?
25.6 in and 29.5 in — the lower one for a low island or counter, the taller for a standard bar.
Can two bases appear in the same order?
Yes. Since the shell is unchanged, a schedule can run oak-veneered legs in one room and steel or sled in another without breaking the family.
Is there a wood finish to select?
Only one exists, sliced oak veneer, which removes colour matching between phases of a project.
Which documents come with the order?
The producer's declared use and care information; the list of products covered by the emissions certification is confirmed by the producer on request.

How to select upholstery for a Saya order in hospitality

Five steps from service pattern to the fabric written beside the code.

Count covers per day, not tables
Two lunch rotations put different demands on a seat than a boardroom does; the service pattern decides before appearance does.
Ask who cleans and how often
An outside crew works best with one instruction; an in-house team can run two protocols without confusion.
Assign one material per room
Coated fabric where surfaces are wiped between covers, fabric in quieter rooms, leather where the seat is part of the image.
Leave bare shells in circulation areas
Where guests sit briefly, the bare Saya shell cuts daily work without breaking the family.
Write the material beside the code
Send the plan and each code returns with its upholstery on the same line, ready for the purchase order.
