BE OUR GUEST

From a small local cafe to large corporate events, hospitality spaces come in all shapes and sizes. Functional and innovative, the ones that resonate best create a unique and memorable experience. Our team can help you create flexible, adaptable spaces that reflect your hospitality brand. Below are some for our design tips.

Shaping hospitality design

Start with a story

Whether you’re designing an intimate bar or grand ballroom, define the role of the space and how you want people to feel in it. What are your aspirations and who’s it for? Keeping your concept in mind when specifying furniture will help you create a cohesive space that makes sense.


First impressions

Create a reception area to welcome people to the space. Keep furniture to a minimum, instead installing a statement table, rugs and coat stand for a homely atmosphere. Consider materials that absorb noise and use colour and lighting to create an overall mood.

Cafes & Small Spaces

Balance intimate settings of small tables and chairs with larger dining tables and even spaces for independent working and private moments. A mix of chair typologies – from high bar stools and cafe classics, to padded armchairs for longer lunches – helps to create spaces that can be adapted as required.

Indoor + Outdoor

Make your cafe courtyard or outdoor dining an extension of your indoor space with modern and elegant furniture that is completely weatherproof and suitable for all conditions. Height-adjustable solutions turn tables into bars, while flip down tables and stackable chairs make clearing the space quick and easy.


Ballrooms & Event Spaces

When you’re catering to anything from conferences and gala dinners to exhibitions and corporate events, you have to think beyond furniture to kitchens, bathrooms, offices and even audio-visual equipment. Storage and stackable systems are your friend, and don’t forget hanging space for jackets and handbags.
