Frequently Asked Questions
What is banquette seating?
Banquette seating is a type of seating arrangement in which a bench-style seat is built into an alcove or recess in a wall, often along the length of a wall in a dining or seating area. Banquette seating provides an efficient use of space and can create a cozy and intimate atmosphere, making it a popular choice in restaurants, cafes, and other commercial spaces. Banquette seating is also a space-saving alternative to traditional chairs and tables, as it allows for multiple people to sit in close proximity to each other, making it ideal for large groups or families. Banquette seating can be customised to fit the design style and decor of a space, and can be upholstered in a variety of fabrics, colours, and textures to create a comfortable and stylish seating area.
