Design furniture plays a key role in the identity and functionality of a hotel or restaurant. It not only defines the aesthetics of the space, but also influences the experience of customers and guests. Choosing the right hospitality furniture is a strategic decision that combines style, comfort and durability.
However, the mistake is often made of prioritising appearance alone, and over time problems such as poorly resistant materials, uncomfortable designs or lack of versatility become apparent. How can you be sure that the furniture design you choose will remain impeccable and functional over time? In this article you’ll find out how to make the right choices to ensure that your investment in office, hospitality or breakout furniture is a success.
If you are looking for inspiration and practical advice on how to choose designer furniture that will meet the needs of your hotel or restaurant, read on to discover our top recommendations.

5 keys to choosing designer furniture for hotels and restaurants
1. Comfort and ergonomics for a pleasant experience
Your customers’ comfort should be your priority. That’s why chairs with ergonomic backrests, comfortable sofas and tables at the right height can make all the difference to their experience. It’s very important to know what they need!
At esPattio, you can count on a wide range of families and customisation options that will adapt perfectly to your projects. We invite you to take the time to browse through the entire product catalogue!


2. Design aligned with the identity of the space
The furniture design should reinforce the concept of the business in question, whether it is for a hotel or a restaurant. All materials, colours and shapes should be in harmony with the overall style of the space.
This seems like a no-brainer, but it is imperative that the essence of the business is conveyed through the furniture. The good news is that, with esPattio, you can achieve this!
3. Durable and easy-care materials
To guarantee the longevity of designer office and catering furniture, it is essential to choose resistant materials that are easy to clean.
esPattio has a wide range of finishes, fabrics and maintenance manuals that are sure to be of interest, both for the pre-purchase process and when the product is already purchased.


4. Multifunctional furniture: design versatility
Urban and hospitality furniture must be adaptable. The ability to purchase modular tables, stackable chairs and sofas is necessary to make better use of space and optimise its use.
5. Sustainability: a commitment to the future
More and more hotels and restaurants are opting for sustainable furniture. Choosing products made from recycled or responsibly sourced materials is not only an ecological choice, but also a business differentiator. The group of companies to which esPattio belongs, Forma 5 Group, is working on its sustainability policy. Come and have a look!
