BAR FURNITURE - WHAT ARE YOUR OPTIONS
For a well-designed bar space to be lively, it has to look good, from lighting and mood to the furniture and environment everything has to follow key ideas throughout the design process to maximise the potential of the space that you have. Every person has a different outlook on design implementations, and this gives more potential for space overall as you can link, merge, and create new ideas.
From a rustic or industrial look to a super contemporary design, people are drawn to high energy, bustling bars, and restaurants. These environments need very specific and sturdy furniture, due to high traffic and use in the commercial world.
Bar Stools
Bar stools are probably the most iconic piece of furniture that belongs in a bar environment. There are many different styles and designs that could suit various venues, depending on the bar, there are a range of finishes for clients and designers ranging from different frame types with materials such as metal and timber or an extensive collection of upholstery options for the customer to choose from ranging from fabrics to leathers. The height of a bar stool is also important when considering a multitude of options as the customer needs to feel comfortable, this needs to take into account the space between the seat of the stool and the bar top overhang, a pleasant gap is around 25 - 30cm.
Lounge Chairs and Contract Sofas
Lounge chairs are a great way of making a venue feel more homely, having a comfy chair option in a bar or pub environment often makes the customers feel more invited and at home. It is a great way of enticing customers to stay longer if they are happy. The lounge chair style in an environment such as a pub or bar is usually low with a high back and upholstered to match the settings that the venues has. A country pub might have a tartan or tweed style material to create that country feeling. On the other hand, a London bar would probably choose different finishes to products due to it been a different setting and impression. There are no limits to style and choosing different to the trends and choosing ‘out there’ fabrics and designs for a venue is not an overlooked subject. Another option to take forwards is the vast contract sofa range, these are also very much found inside a bar and pub environment, again making it more homely but also adding an extra level of comfort for the customers of the venue.
Banquette Seating
Banquette seating can be incorporated into any space and design going forwards and is a great way of maximising space throughout. Using the edges of the venue to create a lounge, bench type seat that can have an array of tables running along as separate dining and drinking spaces, all whilst making the space feel more connected. The NOROCK table bases, with a variety of tops, are a perfect example of tables that compliment this design very well. We are also able to offer a bespoke banquette seating service to suit your needs.
Poseur Tables
Poseur tables are a great way to incorporate bar stools around the rest of the venue, as well as the bar they could be another social feature within the bar area. Poseur height is taller than a standard dining table which usually sits around 75cm, with poseur tables at 105cm. A standard size top for poseur is between 600mm and 800mm, making it a good table for a few drinks in the bar or pub but unsuitable for meals and dining until paired with a set of sturdy bar stools. A poseur table is relatively found in areas where socialising and relaxing is common such as bars and office breakout spaces for a more of an escape environment during meetings or networking sessions.
