Bespoke hotel bar stools – raw frame to finished article!

All our hotel furniture is customised to match customer’s specifications from choosing wood frame colour finish, upholstery trim (studs, piping etc.,) and hospitality fabrics.  Here’s an example of a set of bar stools we manufactured for a well known London hotel bar.

We set to work on the solid beech frame to give it an opulent deep Wenge finish with a stunning depth of shine, we webbed the seat and back forming a strong base before adding a generous foam seat.  A combination of contrasting fabric gives the finished stool a sophisticated urban feel which compliments the lounge and tub chairs we also re-upholstered for this hotel client. For the seat and back we used Panaz Aston faux leather in Pewter and for the seats we used Sunbury Designs Belfast Aquaclean in Frenzy – a linen look high performing contract fabric with a clean, crisp texture and colour.

The interior design was created by our very clever designer Karen whose work may be admired across many of the capitals 4 and 5 star hotels. Get in touch for a free site survey or to discuss your next project.

Create impact with two tone reupholstery

We recently re-upholstered this deep buttoned hotel armchair in dual fabrics. Using a combination of fabrics can transform chairs into real statement pieces and provide additional opportunities to coordinate with other furniture. Why not combine shades of the same fabric or combine plain fabrics with patterns? The possibilities are endless.

Trends in hotel re-upholstery

Re-upholstery has always been a popular choice for the hotel and leisure industry who invest in quality furniture which structurally may outperform the fabric and foam.  Our highly skilled craftsmen reupholster in combination with any French Polishing required, essentially allowing us to create new furniture from old.  In recent projects we have observed the following hospitality fabric trends:

Deep buttoning

Deep buttoning creates a luxurious and timeless sense of style and adds to the personality and presence of a piece of furniture. This type of upholstery technique if often seen on Chesterfields.  We reupholstered the armchair below in Nina Campbell Deep Green Velvet.

 

Stud work

Stud work provides definition and with a vast array of studs to choose from there are numerous options for both modern and traditional chairs.  We reupholstered these tub chairs in faux leather and used antique brass studs to complete the renovation.

 

Faux Leathers

Faux leathers make an inexpensive replacement to real leather and are popular with our hotel clients due to their high wear rates, cleanability and durability. The following beautifully textured ranges from Panaz are popular for hotel and leisure applications.

Panaz Brookland – a distinguished texture in a classic colour palette. This practical yet luxurious upholstery conveys an elegant and refined look. Waterproof, antimicrobial, stain resistant and able to withstand a high level of abrasion. Perfect for hospitality use.

Panaz Aston – Enduring in its popularity, smart brights enhance an inspiring colour palette. A design classic to define or accent any interior.

Natural fabrics – Hemp

Hemp has a unique texture created from a heady mix of natures cleverest renewables.  The Hemp Plus range from Camira is a wool and hemp blend of naturally inspired shades with a soft handle, inherent flame retardancy and an exceptional eco story.
