Upholstered furniture for various café concepts
The choice of upholstered furniture plays a decisive role in the design and atmosphere of a café. Depending on the concept and style of the café, different upholstered furniture can have a significant impact on the guest experience. In this article, we will explore different cafe concepts and discuss the appropriate upholstered furniture options for each concept.
Traditional cafes
Characteristics of traditional cafes
Traditional cafes often exude a cosy and timeless atmosphere. They are places where guests enjoy spending time with friends and family and savouring coffee and pastries.
Classic sofas and armchairs: Classic sofas and armchairs with upholstered armrests and backrests are a popular choice in traditional cafés. The Turin armchair with its timeless design fits in perfectly with this concept.
Cosy upholstered benches: Upholstered benches along the walls give the café an inviting atmosphere. Buzz Chair can also be used as comfortable seating at tables.
Wood and leather accents: Traditional cafés are often characterised by warm wood tones and leather accents. The Turin armchair with its leather seat and wooden legs blends harmoniously into this environment.
An example of a traditional café could be a small city café with cosy niches and warm colours. Here, upholstered chairs, armchairs and benches in muted colours and with vintage details would create a nostalgic atmosphere.
Modern and contemporary cafes
Characteristics of modern and contemporary cafes
Modern and contemporary cafes are characterised by a stylish and often minimalist design. They are often popular meeting places for young adults and creative minds.
Suitable upholstered furniture variants
Sleek and minimalist design: Modern cafés often favour upholstered furniture with clean lines and a slim profile. The Vicenza 2-Seater Sofa with its modern look is a good choice.
Upholstered chairs and bar stools: Chairs and bar stools with upholstered seats go well with this concept. Buzz Chair in a contemporary design can be a stylish addition.
Colourful and unconventional choice: Modern cafes like to experiment with colours and shapes. Upholstered furniture in bold colours or with unusual designs can create eye-catching accents.
Specific examples and advice
An example of a modern cafe could be an urban coffee house inspired by minimalist Scandinavian design. Here, upholstered chairs and bar stools in neutral colours and the Vicenza 2-Seater Sofa in an eye-catching colour such as blue or red could be used.
Themed cafés and niche concepts
Themed cafés and niche concepts are on the rise and offer unique experiences for guests. These cafés are characterised by a special theme, be it cats, books or music.
Customisable upholstered furniture options
Special chair designs for themed cafes: Themed cafes may require special chair designs to match the theme. Buzz Chair can be easily customised to match the desired theme.
Colours, patterns and prints to emphasise the concept: Upholstered furniture with themed colours, patterns and prints can help to emphasise the concept of the cafe.
Customisable seating: Flexible upholstered furniture options such as modular sofas or customisable armchairs can be reconfigured.
An example of a themed café could be a cat café, where guests are accompanied by the presence of cats. Here, special cat cushions and upholstered furniture with cat motifs could be used to emphasise the theme. The Turin armchairs can be designed with removable covers that can be easily replaced to pick up on the cat motifs.
Outdoor cafés and garden cafés
Outdoor cafés and garden cafés allow guests to enjoy nature and sit outside. These cafés have specific requirements for upholstered furniture.
Weather-resistant upholstered furniture and materials
Outdoor sofas and chairs: Upholstered furniture for outdoor cafés should be made of weather-resistant materials and have UV-resistant upholstery and covers.
UV-resistant upholstery and covers: Upholstered furniture should be protected from the damaging effects of the sun and should not fade. The Turin armchairs can be fitted with UV-resistant covers.
Easy care and cleaning: Outdoor upholstered furniture should be easy to clean as it will be exposed to dust, dirt and the elements.
An example of an outdoor café could be an idyllic garden café surrounded by lush nature and flowers. Here, weather-resistant upholstered furniture such as the Vicenza 2-Seater Sofa would be ideal. The sofa could be fitted with waterproof covers to meet the requirements of outdoor use. The Turin armchairs could be fitted with UV-resistant covers and easily wipeable materials to make cleaning easier.
Café concepts with a lounge atmosphere
Café lounges are places where guests can spend time in a relaxed atmosphere and feel at home. Seating comfort takes centre stage here.
Comfortable and relaxed upholstered furniture options
Lounge sofas and loungers: In café lounges, lounge sofas and loungers are an excellent choice. The Vicenza 2-Seater Sofa with its soft upholstery and generous amount of space offers optimum seating comfort.
Soft cushions and poufs: Comfortable cushions and pouffes contribute to relaxation. The Turin armchairs can be combined with additional cushions and poufs.
Low tables and side tables: Low tables and side tables are practical for guests who want to set down drinks or snacks.
An example of a café with a lounge atmosphere could be a coffee bar with comfortable lounge sofas and low tables. Here, guests could enjoy a coffee, read books or chat with friends. The Vicenza 2-Seater Sofa would offer guests the ideal place to relax.
Choosing the right upholstered furniture is crucial to successfully realising the atmosphere and concept of a café. Depending on the concept and style of the cafe, different upholstered furniture can have a significant impact on the guest experience. From traditional cafes to modern, themed, garden and lounge cafes, there is a wide range of upholstered furniture options to suit the needs and requirements of each concept. When choosing upholstered furniture, it is important to keep both style and functionality in mind to provide guests with an unforgettable experience. The right upholstered furniture will not only make the cafe cosy, but will also enhance the chosen concept, contributing to the overall guest experience.
