Do restaurant at 22 Piekary Street in downtown Poznań, we made the seating Paris in two shapes at once. Straight runs went along the walls, and around the round table we made a semi-circular booth, embracing it like a horseshoe. The whole thing is in turquoise velour with vertical channel stitching.
Scope of implementation
| Element | Details |
|---|---|
| Model | Paris, głębokość 70 cm, wysokość całkowita 95 cm, siedzisko 43 cm |
| Shapes | straight rows along the walls and a semi-circular booth around the round table |
| Fabric | turquoise velvet with vertical channel stitching |
| Detail | wooden plinths under the seats, consistent with the wall panels |
| Surroundings | tables with built-in cooktops and extractor hoods |
At the communal pot, the shape of the seat has a function
In a hot pot, the food is cooked in the middle of the table and everyone reaches into the same dish. A guest sitting in the corner of a rectangular bench has a noticeably longer reach to the center of the tabletop than someone in the middle, and with this way of eating, that is felt throughout the entire meal.
The horseshoe shape eliminates this problem because everyone sits at roughly an equal distance from the center. The shape results from the way people eat here, not from the designer's preference. In a restaurant where guests cook together at the table, this is the difference between a comfortable evening and constantly stretching across the countertop.
Two shapes, one fabric
The room combines two completely different layouts: angular sections along the walls and circular islands in the center. It would be easy to end up with a stylistic mismatch here.
One decision holds it together: the same turquoise velvet and the same finish in both variants. The vertical channel stitching runs identically on the straight section and on the curve, so the eye reads the room as a whole, even though the piece of furniture has two different geometries. In addition, there are wooden bases beneath the seats, matched to the wall paneling.
Upholstery next to the cooking table
The tables in this venue have a built-in heating plate and extractor hoods above the countertop. Therefore, the seating operates in an environment of steam, odor, and grease rising from the cooking, and not just in contact with the guest.
Velvet in such a place requires a conscious decision rather than a reflex. All the fabrics we offer for gastronomy have a minimum of 40,000 Martindale cycles, and most of our range exceeds 100,000, but in a venue with open cooking, how the material withstands regular cleaning is equally important. We talk about this before choosing the color, not after.
How much does an arched shape cost
The straight element is calculated per running meter, and the right-angled corner at the same rate, measuring it along the outer edge of the backrest. The Paris model starts at 750 PLN per meter.
Arches and rounded shapes are the only cases where an individually determined surcharge applies, because every such form requires a separate template and a different fabric cut. We run the seams along the arc line so that the material does not wrinkle after a few months.

Modular and arched forms can be found in the system Snake, where you have a corner piece, a pouf, a curved element, and a wedge, as well as in loge Babilon. We choose the sofa for the relaxation areas Lips. We have gathered the full offer for dining rooms on the restaurant booths page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you make semi-circular booths?
Yes. In Poznań, we made a horseshoe shape enclosing a round table. Rounded forms are priced individually because they require a separate template.
Why a horseshoe, and not a straight bench?
At a hot pot, everyone reaches into the vessel in the center of the table. The horseshoe arrangement places guests at an equal distance from the tabletop, which a rectangular coffee table does not provide.
Do different shapes in one room look cohesive?
They look the part if they share a single finish. In Poznań, the straight runs and the semicircular booth share the same turquoise velour and the same vertical channel stitching.
Ile kosztuje loża Paris?
From 750 PLN per linear meter for the straight version. Curved elements are priced with an individually determined surcharge.
What fabric for an open-kitchen restaurant?
One that withstands regular cleaning, because the seat is exposed to vapors from the cooktop. We go through the selection process during the conversation, before we determine the color.
