Frequently Asked Questions - Waiting Room Seating
What types of spaces are your guest seating collections designed for?
Our seating is suitable for reception areas, corporate lobbies, medical and wellness waiting rooms, hotels, legal offices, banks, and cultural institutions. Each solution is selected to balance comfort, durability, and first impressions.
Are your reception chairs suitable for high-traffic public environments?
Yes. We offer contract-grade guest chairs and benches designed for continuous use in busy environments. Many models feature stain-resistant upholstery, antibacterial treatments, and certified fire-retardant foam and fabrics.
What should I budget—and how quickly can you deliver?
Budgets vary by mechanism, upholstery grade and compliance. As planning guidance: €350–€650 per elegant guest chair, €900–€2,000 per modular lounge unit; premium leather or bespoke metalwork sits higher. Standard lead times for made-to-order pieces run 4–8 weeks; quick-ship programmes can furnish core seating in 5–10 working days. We offer samples, itemised quotations, and on-site installation so you know exactly what you’re getting—and when.
How do I specify guest seating that survives heavy footfall without looking “contract-grade”?
Prioritise build and materials, then dress the piece with detail. Look for internal frames in beech or steel, removable seat pads, clean-out gaps between seat and back, and fabrics rated at ≥100,000 Martindale with moisture barriers. Choose bleach-cleanable (10:1) performance textiles or protected leather for easy care, and specify soft glides for timber floors. A restrained palette and tailoring (contrast piping, saddle stitching) keeps the aesthetic refined while the engineering stays resolutely commercial.
What compliance and hygiene features should I insist on for public-facing areas?
Request certificates up front: BS 5852 (Crib 5) or EN 1021 for fire, REACH/low-VOC finishes, and FSC/PEFC for timber where sustainability matters. For healthcare-adjacent spaces, opt for antimicrobial surfaces, sealed seams or waterfall fronts, and clean-out design to speed daily wipe-downs. Accessibility matters: target seat height 45–48 cm, supportive arms for sit-to-stand, and include bariatric modules or weight ratings from 136 kg per seat upwards to welcome all visitors.
Do you provide modular seating systems for large waiting areas?
Absolutely. We offer modular benches, curved elements, and configurable seating islands that adapt to large or irregular spaces. Ideal for airports, clinics, universities, and hospitality lounges.
Can I coordinate the seating with our interior design or brand colours?
Yes. We provide a wide selection of upholstery in fabric, faux leather, velvet, and technical coverings. Custom colours and matching tones for architectural palettes are available on request, including CMYK or Pantone references.
Are there guest chairs that combine comfort and cleanability?
Yes. Many models feature ergonomically shaped seats with smooth surfaces for easy sanitation. Options include anti-microbial eco-leather, removable cushions, and gap-free frames for efficient cleaning—especially in medical or wellness spaces.
Do you offer reception seating with integrated tables or power access?
Yes. Some of our modular reception seating includes built-in side tables, USB ports or charging outlets—ideal for contemporary guest experiences in coworking, hotel or business lounge settings.
Can you help us furnish a full hospitality environment?
Certainly. We support complete contract furnishing projects with coordinated reception chairs, lounge sofas, desks, side tables, planters, and lighting—ensuring functional flow and visual harmony throughout the guest experience.
