The Contract Chair Company

Testimonials

We supply furniture for restaurants, cafes, hotels, cruise liners, student accommodation and other hospitality businesses.

‘We’ve worked with The Contract Chair Company a number of times on a variety of hospitality projects. Everything possible is done to ensure projects are delivered on time and in budget while any potential problems are always resolved with great speed and efficiency. I hope to carry on working with them as their service and product knowledge is invaluable. I would highly recommend to anyone.”

Jake Powley-Baker, Senior Designer, B3 Designers Ltd

Our customers and designers benefit from choice of furniture, convenience and competitive prices. We are absolutely committed to providing excellent service.

We are a friendly team of industry professionals, based in Hammersmith, where we also have space for our large and ever-changing collection of furniture.

Our Restaurant & Fine Dining Division Eating out happens more often as disposable incomes grow. Over time customers become more discerning. Together these facts suggest that the numbers of UK restaurants will continue to increase and their quality will improve. This quality is not only about food, it also includes the setting, and central to this is furniture.

As you will see from this booklet, we deal with a wide variety of restaurants.

Focusing mainly (but certainly not entirely) on London and the home counties, we supply side chairs, armchairs, table bases and table tops, benches, bespoke tables and fixed seating as well as soft furnishings.

Our team here is vastly experienced and our showroom is full of relevant products.

For our full range of over 3,000 products, please visit our website.

Side Chairs Upholstery has long been the choice for restaurant chairs, either in fabric or leather; comfort has tended to outweigh practicality, as operators look to encourage their customers to stay as long as possible. But a significant minority opt for wooden chairs, either plain, painted or stained. Whatever your fancy (and do ask us which designs are in fashion), we can supply what you need. Guide prices and further details for over 250 side chairs available online.

Armchairs Some restaurants choose only armchairs; others specify a combination of armchairs and side chairs. Either way, for most side chairs, there’s a matching armchair. They make a great statement and can be more comfortable and sturdier than a side chair.

Armchairs also make it easier to raise yourself out of a chair. Guide prices and further details for over 200 armchairs available online.

Typically table tops are of solid wood (in whatever size is necessary), but you can choose from a wide range of alternatives – or a completely bespoke design. Let us help you make the best choices. Guide prices and further details for over 150 items available online.

Choose barstools to complement nearby furniture – most seats have matching stools.

Consider that stools with backs will have more impact than backless stools and will tend to be more comfortable, encouraging guests to linger longer. Let our team guide you through the selection process and help you avoid the pitfalls. Guide prices and further details for over 310 barstools available online.

Bespoke Furniture We create bespoke furniture for the UK’s top hotel, restaurant and café groups as well as highly acclaimed design practices. We enjoy doing this and appreciate the various intricacies associated with one-off designs. Below are our specialities: Wooden dining chairs

We are able to produce bespoke wooden dining chairs, with short lead-times. Dining chairs that are both well-made and inexpensive are notoriously difficult to produce in small numbers, but we have a long track record.

Upholstered furniture

We have good relationships with a number of factories who can produce upholstered furniture to almost any design. Using wooden frames and foam upholstery, most shapes can be created. Again, lead times are surprisingly short.

Tables

Most of our wooden table tops are made to order as we offer such a vast range of possible materials, shapes, finishes, thickness and edge detail. We can also make wooden table bases as well as complete tables of most types – dining, coffee, occasional or console, as well as bedside tables.

Metalwork

We have completed various projects for design practices where we have been asked to create designs using metal components.

We have several factories which specialise in metalwork and turn the toughest of production challenges into successful projects.

Our Showroom Our home is a 6,000 square foot working showroom in Hammersmith, which we built for ourselves in 2011.

We have over 500 dining type chairs, 100 table top and table base samples, 50 barstools and a dedicated outdoor furniture section with over 100 items. We have fabric books, colour swatches, wood samples and table edges.
