BANQUET SEATING

A banquette is a seat or bench which is specially designed to fit into a space, typically running along a wall. They are also
known as fixed seating, booth seating and bench seating, and are most commonly found in restaurants and cafes.

Key Steps When Specifying A Banquette


1.Firstly (and most importantly) we ask; What is your banquette going to be used for? Will it be for casual or formal dining?
For meals or drinks only? Will it be located in your dining room or kitchen? In a restaurant or café?

2.Something to work out early on is the available access to your space. We have an on-site upholstery team who can
complete the final details of the banquette in situ, or we can make the piece in sections, ready to clip together on site.

3.When creating a banquette as a space solution, it’s important to remember that the seat still needs to be a certain depth to
ensure optimum comfort.

4.The next thing to consider is the space and its surroundings. Is the banquette going to be set around a table? In which
case, how much space is there under that table – will people’s legs fit? Are you going to have chairs to accompany the
banquette? What are their seat heights?

5.Now we come to the style. Would you like your banquette to be buttoned? Channelled? Fluted? Anything is possible! Just
send us an inspiration image and we’ll create the perfect piece for your space.
6. When choosing the fabric, it is important to consider what it’s going to have to withstand. If the piece is going to be boxed
rather than on legs, the fabric needs to be able to withstand shoes scraping against it. If the banquette is going to be in a
restaurant, cafe or kitchen, it’s possibly a good idea to have an easy-clean fabric to meet the challenge of heavy-duty use.

7.Finally, you can make your banquette uniquely yours with details such as contrast piping, show-wood, metal finishes,
ruching, pintuck button detailing and many more!
