How to use the ICF Alba collection
ICF Alba chairs can support several workplace layouts without requiring different design languages for every room. Four-star models with fixed seating are a natural choice for meeting rooms, conference tables, reception settings and flexible collaboration areas. Their low, mid or high backs let you balance a lighter profile with a more substantial chair presence.
Five-star models are more closely aligned with desk-based work. Their castor bases suit workstations, touchdown areas and shared desks where users may need to move the chair during the day. The collection includes low-, mid- and high-back task-chair formats, so the right choice depends on the desk setup, intended duration of use and the visual character of the room.
How to compare the Alba models
Start with the base
Select a four-star base when the chair is primarily used around a meeting table or in a multipurpose setting. Choose a five-star castor base when mobility and a task-chair configuration are more important. The bases are described as metal or steel, with silver/chromed finishes represented in the collection facts.
Consider height and back style
Fixed-height models provide a straightforward specification for consistent meeting layouts. Height-adjustable models offer more flexibility for individual workstations and users. Back height is a key visual and practical distinction: low-back chairs keep a room open, mid-back chairs provide a balanced profile, and high-back chairs create a more supportive-looking presence.
Review upholstery and color
Fabric is a prominent upholstery option across the Alba family, with PU leather also listed for the collection. Color choices include understated workplace tones as well as brighter colors for zoning or brand-led interiors. Confirm the selected model’s available upholstery before planning a full installation, as options can vary by configuration.
What to check before selecting
- Confirm whether the chair is intended for meeting, multipurpose or task use.
- Check the seat height range and whether the model is fixed-height or adjustable.
- Compare low, mid and high-back versions against the desk or table height.
- Verify the base type, castors and available upholstery finish for the chosen model.
- Review the available product documentation, including dimensions, user manuals and environmental information where provided.
