Furniture in Hospitality Industry
- Furniture is a crucial component of the hospitality industry, directly impacting the comfort and aesthetics of guest spaces.
Types of Chairs
- Stacking Chair: designed to hold plates, decanters, side dishes, and other accessories for a meal, frequently containing cupboards and drawers.
- Folding Chair: durable, well-designed, attractive, and comfortable, with a heavy-gauged, tubular steel frame and chrome-plated legs.
- Arm Chair: arms must not catch or bend with the table, with smooth and rounded wood edges to avoid snagging of clothes.
- Cantilevered Chair: Bent tubular steel (round or square section) allows for regularity, sense of order, and may be connected or extended as required.
Dining Chairs
- Restaurants, cafes, and dining areas require dining chairs that are comfortable for guests during their meals.
- Chairs should provide proper support and be aesthetically pleasing to enhance the dining experience.
Storage Furniture
- Hospitality establishments require storage furniture such as:
- Wardrobes: hold the clothes of the guests like gowns and tuxedos.
- Dressers: a storage system used to store clothing.
- Sideboards: a piece of furniture designed to hold plates, decanters, side dishes, and other accessories for a meal.
- Luggage Racks: holds a guest's bags and make it easier for guests to unpack.
Reception Desks and Counters
- Hotels, resorts, and other hospitality establishments typically have reception desks or counters where guests check-in and interact with staff.
- Reception Desks: a desk at which a receptionist works, as in an office.
- Reception Counters: a counter, as at a hotel, where guests are registered.
Outdoor Furniture
- Hospitality establishments with outdoor spaces, such as patios, poolside areas, and gardens, often provide outdoor furniture to create inviting and comfortable environments.
- Outdoor furniture includes:
- Outdoor Dining Sets: also called patio furniture or outdoor furniture, specifically designed for outdoor use.
- Umbrellas: shields from the sun, rain, high winds, snow, and more, providing privacy from neighbors.
- Hammocks: a sling made of fabric or netting and rope, suspended between two points, used for swinging, sleeping, or resting.
