The corners of a room are usually the hardest space to furnish: too small for a separate table, too big to ignore. A custom-made corner banquette utilizes this space instead of leaving it empty or cluttering it with something random.
Measure both walls, because the angle is rarely 90 degrees
Measure both walls forming the corner, not just one. The angle between them is rarely a perfect 90 degrees, especially in older buildings and adapted spaces, and even a slight deviation affects how the element will fit against the wall on both sides.
We make corners at any angle, according to the customer's request. An angle other than a right angle is priced individually, because it requires a separate template.
How shape affects price
Shape affects the price in two places, and in the third it does not affect it at all.
| Shape | How do we count |
|---|---|
| Simple element | price per linear meter |
| Right-angle corner element | the same price as a straight one, measured along the back and added to the square footage |
| An angle other than 90 degrees | additional fee determined individually, separate template |
| Arch and rounded form | additional fee determined individually, separate template |
We made arch forms, among other things, for Hot Pot in Poznań. You can find ready-made modular solutions in system Snake, where do you have corner sofa, pouffe, arch element i wedge, and also in loges Babilon.
One continuous corner or two joined segments
The choice between a single piece of furniture and two segments comes down to whether the look of the corner or the route to the apartment is more important.
A continuous corner piece looks more cohesive and eliminates the gap in the corner, but it is harder to bring through narrow doors and stairwells. Two sections joined on-site allow for more flexibility during delivery at the cost of a visible joint.
The continuous corner is assembled from modules up to 1.4 running meters in length, and standardly we make them in 1-meter and 1.2-meter sizes. Thanks to this, they fit through standard doors, and the joints fall where they are not visible.
Where to place the coffee table relative to the corner
Position the table so that the aisle on one side is wider, instead of dividing the access equally between both sides. A table pushed toward one wall leaves the waiter with one comfortable pathway instead of two narrow ones.
This is a decision that is easier to make during the planning stage than to fix after the furniture is installed. Subtract the depth of the booth, from 50 to 70 cm depending on the model, from the width of the room before deciding on the placement for the table.
Semicircular booth instead of a rectangular one: Hot Pot in Poznań
The shape of the booth does not have to be rectangular. In the Hot Pot restaurant in Poznań, we designed a semicircular booth, tailored to the layout of the dining room.
What to send to the manufacturer instead of a text description
Send a sketch or a photo of the corner with the dimensions of both walls. We can evaluate the angle and lengths from the drawing in a minute, but we cannot evaluate them at all from a verbal description.
If you are planning a corner booth, for example based on the model Nicea Max, call and we will go through the dimensions together: +48 535 080 040.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the corner piece cost more than the straight one?
No, if the angle is a right angle. We measure it along the ridge and add it to the total square footage at the same price.
Do you make corners at an angle other than 90 degrees?
Yes, at any angle requested by the customer. We price such an element individually because it requires a separate template.
How much does an arched formwork cost?
Arches and rounded shapes are priced individually, for the same reason as angles other than right angles.
Will the sectional sofa fit through a narrow door?
The continuous corner is assembled from modules up to 1.4 meters, standardly 1 and 1.2 meters, so it fits through typical doors and stairwells.
