The Portofino Story...
A Welcome
Bienvenue
Alexander Rose is about to enter its 20th year in the industry. We are recognised throughout the UK and Europe for the quality and design of our sustainable outdoor furniture products.
Alexander Rose est sur le point d’entrer dans sa 20ème année dans le monde de l’industrie. Nous sommes connus à travers l’Angleterre et l’Europe pour la qualité et le design de nos produits d’extérieur durables.
Furniture is our passion and we are committed to providing outstanding customer service.
Le mobilier est notre passion et nous sommes engagés à fournir un service de qualité irréprochable.”
lexander Rose introduced this new furniture collection made of wire mesh combined with tubular steel in 2012. Our objective was to design eye catching pieces of furniture that would bring a refreshing look to a new market for Alexander Rose. We found our inspiration in the curvaceous lines and ergonomic comfort of our own Ocean Range; and the Portofino Range was born. The design challenge was to transform the shapes of the Ocean furniture into the steel tube and wire mesh fused form. This was a great technical achievement, and by reproducing our own established designs in different materials, we have given the Portofino range a whole new character of its own, with its impressive diamond mesh pattern and elegant two tone cushions. Our Portofino furniture will look great in any setting and for this 2014 catalogue we have introduced new models in the form of Textilene and Wicker chairs, together with extending and stone top tables, offering our customers a wide choice of material combinations for alfresco dining.

Materials
Mesh & Frames Our mild steel begins with a phosphate treatment to prevent rust. Next is a cathodic dip where a layer of primer is evenly applied, followed by a metallic grey powder coating resulting in a stylish finish.
Textilene Our Textilene is a tough synthetic fabric made of PVC coated polyester. It has specially formulated yarns that withstand UV fading, mildew and severe weather conditions. The textilene is used on our new armchair.
Weave Our Portofino weave is handcrafted in a traditional style with a two-tone 7mm flat weave. The grey fibres compliment the metallic grey table frames giving it a modern feel. The weave is used on our new armchair.
Stone Our stone top is made from compact fibreglass cement, finished with a highly resilient granite effect coating, which is UV and weather resistant. It requires minimal maintenance.

Maintenance & Technical Information Cushions Our contemporary Portofino cushions are reversible, allowing you to choose from a decorative grey pattern or a stylish solid grey. The cushions are made from polyester with a comfortable foam filling. They are secured using the ties located on the corners of the cushion. We advise you remove the cushions when not in use, these can be stored in an Alexander Rose cushion bag.
Powder Coating A cathodic dip coating is followed by a powder primer and a protective powder coating which determines the colour. All together a coating thickness of 0.25mm is achieved. To compare: a standard powder coating has a thickness of only 0.08mm - 0.12mm.

The Alexander Rose Portofino range is built from mild steel, treated with two layers of powder coating for a smooth and metallic finish. Our Portofino range has one layer of rust protection, a layer of primer and two layers of powder coating treatment. All these treatments result in a silver grey finish that is weather resistant. Powder coating the frames twice provides an effective layer of skin for the furniture, protecting it against small scratches. Portofino frames and cushions require minimal maintenance, and can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or bleach. All Portofino items have a 3 year warranty against surface corrosion.

Cushion Storage Bags All Alexander Rose cushions are weather resistant. When the cushions are not in use, we suggest you store them away in a dry place during the winter months using our small cushion bag.
Cushion Cleaning Tips Mild Steel Maintenance • Clean using a damp cloth and mild detergent, do not use bleach or abrasive cleaners. • It is recommended that you occasionally ensure all of the fixings are tightened, as loose screws can cause damage to the table legs.
1. Brush off any loose dirt. 2. Prepare a cleaning solution of 1:16 mild detergent to lukewarm water. 3. Use a sponge or a soft bristle brush to clean. 4. Allow cleaning solution to soak into the fabric. 5. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue. 6. Allow fabric to air dry.
All sizes, weights and dimensions are an approximate figure. We reserve the right to change and improve designs and specifications without notice.
