Commercial Coffee Shop and Café Furniture

A coffee shop seat works harder than almost anything else we build. It holds someone with a laptop for four hours, gets wiped twenty times a day, gets dragged across the floor, and has to look good doing it in a room the size of a two-car garage. We build café seating on the same commercial frames we ship to casinos and stadiums — in lighter, smaller shapes that actually fit the floor plan.

Designform has furnished coffee bars, tea shops, bakeries and café counters across the US and Canada, from single independents to multi-store rollouts.

Café chairs and small-scale lounge seating

Light wood and metal side chairs that stack or nest, plus compact lounge chairs for the soft-seating corner. Welded steel or solid hardwood frames — not tube-and-screw.

Counter and window-bar stools

Counter height for the pickup bar, bar height for the window rail, backless where the aisle is tight. Foot rails are welded, not bolted on.

Counter StoolsStools

Small tables that seat more people

Café-size tops from 24″ to 30″ on cast-iron or steel bases with a narrow floor spread, so you fit two more tables in the same room. Laminate, solid wood and Compact Laminate tops for wet counters and sidewalk seating.

Table BasesTable Tops

Sidewalk and patio seating

All-weather aluminum, rope and teak for the two or three tables out front, in finishes that match what is inside.
