When it comes to furnishing your establishment, choosing the right furniture that defines your space is essential. A stand-out and practical piece common to bars, hotels and pubs, the poseur table is ideal for saving space in often-busy areas. We’ve put together a short guide about the difference a poseur table can make to your establishment. As experts in furniture, we are always looking for ways to inspire you to make the most of the furniture you buy from us.

Typically used to rest your freshly poured drink on, a poseur table can help to create an intimate atmosphere in bustling bars or café areas. When coupled with bar stools, your space is transformed into a comfortable and relaxing area to socialise in, as their brevity makes them less formal in comparison to heavier, more robust furniture.

Regardless of the style of your space, we have the poseur table to match. From luxury wooden tables for rustic and homely pubs, to sleek chrome fittings for more contemporary bars and restaurants, poseur tables don’t only have to have drinks resting on them! For example, due to their height making them perfect for resting a laptop on, our collection of over 20 poseur tables can streamline networking at any event, creating mini social hubs, wherever you are.

Furthermore, for the summer season, an aluminium made, waterproof poseur table is ideal for outdoor use; its sturdy base ensures it survives the not-so-glorious summer weather. The lightweight nature of the table itself ensures it can be easily moved when required, whilst its versatility can help you to create spaces unique to your venue.

Since 1960, we’ve been helping our customers find the right product at the right price. At Trent, we stock and supply a wide range of poseur tables, available in melamine, solid wood and veneer finishes, most of which have a matching dining-height table available to purchase.

In response to the demands of the environmentally-conscious consumer, eco-friendly products have altered our attitudes, from how we eat to what we buy, and decorating and furnishing our spaces is no exception.  As the interest in sustainable furniture continues to grow, we’ve put together some expert advice to filling your café, bar or restaurant with environmentally-friendly furniture.

Where do I start?

Founded upon the recycling loop, where furniture can be continually reused, the search for eco-friendly furniture begins with research.  Nowadays, it’s easy to spot sustainable furniture as companies certify the source of their materials. To help you make more informed furniture choices, we recommend reading up on the various certifications and their meanings, as well researching into the background of the store or supplier you are buying from.

Buy local

Eco-friendly doesn’t have to mean brand new, and furnishing your café, restaurant or pub with second-hand furniture decreases the need for new resources. You can still up-cycle your pieces to match the theme of your establishment; there’s nothing a lick of paint or new fabric cover can’t fix.

Look out for recycled materials

The list of recyclable materials is growing! This means more and more furnishing products made from cork, rubber, straw and flax, for example, are appearing in the showrooms of furniture stores. These materials, once they have come to the end of their usable life span, can easily be recycled, therefore helping to avoid the ever-increasing amount of landfill waste.

Fix it!

Often overlooked is the durability of quality-made products. If a piece of furniture, a solid oak table for example, can be easily repaired, it decreases the chances of it ending up in landfill. As well as decreasing your carbon footprint, continuing to repair rather than replace your furniture will also save you some extra cash, too!

What to do when you’ve finished with your furniture

Trends and tastes do change over time and what’ve we come to love can often no longer spark the same sense of joy in us that it once did. It may seem obvious, but continuing to recycle is key to keeping the cycle moving, and more importantly, keeping the environment more sustainable.

At Trent, we recognise the responsibility we have to help safeguard the environment for the future. That’s why all of our wood comes from sustainable and properly-managed sources.
