Popular restaurant furniture
When most people think of restaurant furniture, the first thing that springs to mind is likely to be tables and chairs. These are the most obvious, easy items to use to customise your restaurant, as they can be made from wood, plastic, metal or a mixture of any of these materials.
We find that a popular choice, which is relatively cheap and easy to customise in terms of colour as well as being ideal for mixing and matching with different materials, is to use a standard side chair with a pyramid table.
This style of table is particularly popular for restaurants where space is an issue. It’s far easier to fit people’s feet and bags underneath a table if there is just one pole supporting it. A table like Trent Furniture’s Black Pyramid Table makes it easier to fit more chairs around it, for example, if a table for 2 becomes a table for 4 when having drinks or snacks.
Luxury restaurant furniture
There is still a novelty to having large, comfortable tub chairs in restaurants, usually as a pair around a table, or used alongside sofas. Whilst tub chairs definitely look more expensive than your average chair, they do take up more room, so it’s worth considering how many people you ideally want to serve in your restaurant before splashing out on these.
Having said that, they needn’t be particularly expensive. Trent Furniture sells a range of tub chairs in different colours and styles, like this Portobello Cappuccino Tub Chair, which costs less than £100.
Modern restaurant furniture
When thinking of modern and restaurant furniture in the same sentence, it doesn’t have to mean clean lines and multi-coloured. Sometimes a modern restaurant just needs a splash of colour, like a red leather chair to spruce up some dark wood tables. Another way of using modern influences mixed in with those from the past is to use a chair with an unusually shaped back, for example the Malmo Armchair from Trent Furniture, or a set of chrome stools.
Bentwood furniture for businesses
Traditional bentwood furniture adds personality to any restaurant. First produced in the 19th century, bentwood furniture is typically made out of darker woods and soaked or steamed with water, before being shaped. The style makes chairs and stools look particularly decorative and turns the simplest of furniture into impressive items. The Low Bentwood Stool range is an example of simply turned sophisticated.
