HORECA Furnishings: Design, Regulations, and Performance

Furnishing a public venue is a design challenge that goes far beyond aesthetics. In the Ho.Re.Ca (Hotel, Restaurant, Café) sector, every piece of furniture must meet stringent requirements for durability, safety, and functionality. Choosing certified furniture means investing in products tested to withstand intensive use (CATAS regulations), guarantee guest safety, and optimize management times.

Progetto Sedia is an official retailer of the best Made in Italy brands, combining the design culture of historic companies such as Pedrali and Colos with the industrial expertise required for professional supplies.

Restaurant Furniture: The Table Experience

The table is the stage for the gastronomic experience. For the restaurant dining room, the choice must balance the mood of the space with the ergonomics of the service.

• Chairs and armchairs: Comfort determines the customer's stay. For fine dining, we recommend the enveloping seats from Connubia or Infiniti, often available with stain-resistant fabrics or water-repellent velvets. For fast-moving bistros and pizzerias, the technopolymer solutions from Scab (S-CAB Design) offer contemporary design combined with easy, instant sanitization.
• Tables and space management: We offer flat, stable table bases (in cast iron or steel) that don't get in the way of the legs, combined with HPL or Fenix tops: materials that are fingerprint-resistant and resistant to cutlery scratches.

Technical solutions for bars and food venues

The dynamism of a bar requires heavy-duty furnishings. Bar furniture must withstand frequent impacts, liquids, and constant movement.

• The stool system: From fixed stools for the counter (height 75-80 cm) to those for snack tables (height 65 cm), our range includes iconic models such as those by Et Al., with reinforced footrests and indestructible structures.
• Dehors and outdoor spaces: For outdoor spaces, leadership belongs to brands such as Nardi and Vermobil. We select their collections in polypropylene, fiberglass, or galvanized metal because they are resistant to UV rays, salt, or temperature changes. Their stackability is essential, allowing staff to quickly remove the tables at the end of service.

Hotel and hospitality furnishings

Professional hospitality requires strict compliance with fire safety regulations. For hotel furnishings, Progetto Sedia offers a wide selection of products certified in Class 1IM (fire safety for upholstered furniture), mandatory for lobbies and guest rooms. From the breakfast room – furnished with modular tables and "no-porosity" surfaces – to the lounge areas enhanced by Slide lighting accessories or waiting room sofas, we ensure stylistic continuity between common areas and private rooms.

Materials and maintenance: a guide to choosing

Not all materials are created equal for public use. We'll guide you in choosing the right one:

1. HPL and laminate: the gold standard for table tops. Waterproof, hygienic, heat- and abrasion-resistant.
2. Technopolymer: Lightweight yet extremely sturdy material, ideal for those who frequently move furniture.
3. Galvanized metal: Essential for vintage or industrial outdoor furniture that won't rust.
4. Technical fabrics: High-strength weaves (Martindale > 50,000 cycles) treated to be water- and oil-repellent.
