An Short Introduction To Banquet Seating

By Tim Stone


As house interiors have become much more informal in current years, banquet seating is becoming an increasingly popular selection as a practical yet aesthetically pleasing decision for home dining rooms.

Banquet seating (otherwise called banquette seating) refers to fixed bench sitting that's fitted in to the dining room interior. Usually, banquet seating is widely employed in commercial settings including cafes, bars and restaurants to accommodate large numbers of diners and present a convivial atmosphere. Ranging from uniform bench seating to totally circular booths, numerous restaurants now incorporate both showpiece banquet seats and dining chairs to maximise the amount of diners that may be seated comfortably inside the provided floor space.

From a stylistic perspective, banquet seats may be made in a wide selection of styles in line with personal taste. The classic English style, incorporating a Chesterfield deep-buttoned design and style, is probably the most widely revered of these types, and features inside the UK Parliament where it's used to supply fixed bench seating for the House of Commons and House of Lords. Usually furnished in leathers of classic colour, deep-buttoned banquet seating remains an very popular selection for all those who want to tap in to the rich, recognized traditions of English Upholstery.

More modern styles have a tendency to soften this look, adopting clean lines with discreet detailing to show and informality which is distinctly absent in the Chesterfield style. Typically this can be produced through the use of pulled-stitching or perhaps a padded flute style to secure the filling in a way that spreads the curvature of the back assistance. By varying the depth of the stitch, the amount of flutes or by switching between a horizontal and vertical alignment, a fantastic number of modern types may be designed. Alternatively, detailing and stitch work can be hidden or taken out altogether to render banquet seating which conforms with a strict minimalism in design.

As a specialised upholstered solution, banquet seating tends to be manufactured on a bespoke basis in order that the precise dimensions of the premises can be taken into account when creating the wooden frame. There are also sensible considerations to take into consideration when selecting the appropriate fabric or leather coverings for banquet seating to make sure that the completed product is both strong and complementary for the dining room atmosphere in which it is to be positioned. Specialist machinery or technical expertise may also be necessary to produce the finished piece according to the shape and composition of the final banquet seating solution.

For these reasons, banquet seating does not normally lend itself for residence use. However, with modern technological advances lowering the production cost of manufacturing bespoke furnishings banquet seating is becoming increasingly cost-effective as an alternative to a set of dining table and seats. Consequently, bespoke furnishings makers are increasingly catering towards the consumer market as demand for home banquet seating solutions improves. Because of this, in current years fixed banquet seating has started to turn up in kitchens and dining rooms as discriminating buyers have sought informal, sensible solutions to maximise their kitchen/dining space.
