Fabric executive chairs give you executive proportions and padding in upholstery rather than leather. Our range includes the Classic with arms and the Bella medium back. They suit offices and meeting rooms in Ireland that want a friendly feel instead of a formal one, and people who find leather too warm for long sittings.
When fabric is the better choice
Some rooms are meant to put people at ease rather than impress them. Think of an HR manager's office, a consulting room at a practice or clinic, or a small meeting room. Leather can feel stiff in those settings, while fabric comes across as warmer and more relaxed.
Fabric is also kinder over a long sitting. It lets air through more readily than bonded leather, and it will not stick to you on a warm summer day.
Who it suits
- Practices and clinics where visitors should feel at ease
- Small meeting rooms and interview rooms
- Managers who sit for long hours and find leather too warm
What you give up
Mainly the wipe-clean convenience that keeps leather popular in client facing boardrooms, along with a little formality. Whether that matters depends on the room. If you want to stay cool but keep a crisper look, mesh executive chairs are worth comparing.
Match the fabric to the room
Executive chairs often see lighter use than task chairs, so the upholstery does not always need to be the toughest available. A shared meeting room is different: its chairs get used far more than people tend to assume, so choose hard wearing fabric there.
