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.

We at Select Interiors design, manufacture and install banquette seating. We have an extensive library of durable FR fabrics to compliment our scheme / design  

There are several materials that can be used for banquette seating, including: 

Wood: Wood is a popular choice for banquette seating due to its durability, versatility, and natural beauty. Wood can be stained or painted to match the decor of a space, and is a warm and inviting material that can create a cozy atmosphere. 

Upholstery: Upholstery is a common material for banquette seating, as it provides a comfortable and durable surface for users to sit on. Upholstery can be made from a variety of materials, including fabric, leather, or vinyl, and can be customised to match the decor and design style of a space. 

Foam: Foam is a popular material for banquette seating, as it provides a comfortable and supportive surface for users to sit on. Foam can be cut and shaped to fit the design of a banquette seating area, and can be covered in a variety of materials, including fabric, leather, or vinyl. 

Metal: Metal is a durable and versatile material that can be used for banquette seating, particularly in industrial or modern design styles. Metal can be powder-coated or polished to create a specific look, and is a strong and durable material that can withstand heavy use. 

Stone or concrete: Stone or concrete can be used for banquette seating in contemporary or industrial design styles, providing a strong and durable surface that can withstand heavy use. Stone or concrete can be polished or textured to create a specific look, and is a low-maintenance material that is easy to clean. 

The material chosen for banquette seating should be chosen based on the specific needs and preferences of the space, taking into account the intended use, design style, budget, and durability requirements.
