Design Notes

Alexandra Chair Design Notes

The Alexandra armchair is the epitome of classical elegance, designed to make a bold and lasting impression in any space. With its grand scale and sophisticated details, this chair embodies luxury and refinement while maintaining a timeless appeal.

The generous arms of the Alexandra Chair are perfectly in proportion with the overall depth of the armchair, offering not only an elegant aesthetic but also a practical level of comfort. These arms provide ample space for resting, while their substantial presence adds to the chair’s stately appearance. The back cushions of the Alexandra feature a pronounced curve that enhances the overall silhouette, giving the chair a distinctive, memorable appearance. This gentle curve adds a sense of softness and organic flow, making it both visually striking and exceptionally comfortable.

The Alexandra range shines in more formal fabrics, such as rich silks, damasks, and brocades, which enhance its classical design and elevate the sophistication of any room. However, the Alexandra Chair also shows its versatility in more contemporary fabrics. When upholstered in lush velvets or natural linens, it takes on a modern elegance that feels fresh and relevant. The Alexandra armchair captures a timeless aesthetic, combining the best elements of classical design with the flexibility to remain relevant in modern settings.

We are The Sustainable Choice

At Finline, we are acutely aware that sustainability is a journey. We are constantly monitoring and measuring our carbon footprint to align our business to national and international targets to reach net-zero emissions. We continue to reduce our energy consumption, transition our energy sources and work with our supply chain to minimise our environmental impact, ensuring the longevity of our business and the earth.

Sourcing Quality Sustainable Materials

We craft our sofas and chairs using durable, sustainable timber frames. We source FSC-certified timber from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental and social benefits. Skilled artisans handcraft our kiln-dried Beechwood timber in a local workshop located less than 5km from our factory. We prioritise sustainability by selecting fabrics from the most eco-friendly sources, with many coming from European mills.

Fabrics

We offer an extensive variety of high-quality exclusive fabrics, allowing you to customise your sofas and chairs to match your colour palette and texture preferences. This lets you add a unique touch of luxury and comfort to your living space.

You can upholster any fabric on any piece of Finline furniture. Our fabric collection includes four categories: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and our most exclusive, the Platinum Collection. The fabric you choose determines the cost of each piece. You can also purchase our fabrics by the meter.

Long-Lasting Life Span

We design and handcraft our sofas and chairs to ensure they are durable and long-lasting. Every frame comes with a 20-year guarantee. By crafting each piece to order, we eliminate overproduction and reduce waste. Our Revive recovery scheme reflects our commitment to circularity by recovering, reupholstering, and reusing Finline sofas, turning them into lifelong investments rather than disposable items. We take pride in revitalising old sofas with new life.

Reupholstering your sofa with Finline is a responsible and rewarding choice. We create high-quality, durable furniture designed to last a lifetime. If you want to transform your sofa and extend its life, reupholstery offers an impressive and sustainable option.

Caring For Your Sofa

To keep your upholstery looking its best, we suggest these care tips:

Maintain cushion shape by flipping and rotating seat and back cushions about once a month.
Vacuum regularly using a soft brush attachment or a handheld brush to remove dust and debris.
Address spills promptly by gently blotting with a clean, soft, absorbent cloth to prevent stains.

Most of our fabrics can be treated with a stain resistant coating. We recommend Aqua-dry to assist with both upholstery cleaning and protection.

8. What is the difference between traditional and modern sofas?

The main difference between traditional and modern fabric sofas Ireland lies in their design, materials, comfort, and overall aesthetic. Traditional sofas feature elegant, timeless designs with details like rolled arms, tufted backs, and wooden legs. Made from luxurious fabrics like velvet, linen, or leather, they are built with solid wood frames for durability and offer plush, deep seating for a more relaxed, comfortable experience. Their formal, refined look suits traditional or more formal spaces.

In contrast, modern sofas embrace minimalist designs with clean lines, straight arms, and low profiles. Made from lighter materials like metal, plywood, and foam, they prioritise functionality and often offer firmer seating. Modern sofas can be more affordable and are designed for smaller, more casual spaces, sometimes featuring modular or multifunctional elements like sofa beds.

Traditional sofas are generally more expensive due to their craftsmanship and long-lasting durability, while modern sofas offer a more budget-friendly, flexible option. While traditional pieces offer timeless appeal, modern sofas are better suited for those seeking simplicity, space efficiency, and a more contemporary look.
