I was at Focal's North American launch of this speaker and had LOTS of questions about the finish. I can't remember off-hand what the material is, but it's extremely durable and cleanable. Here's also something many people don't know -- the side panels are replaceable!

Website says the side panels are made of felt.

In a quest to eliminate cabinet diffraction they made a felt woofer and tweeter ring that covers the whole enclosure...-.Mark Korda
