The sofas in the lounge area of high-end hotel private rooms serve as a flexible boundary for brief relaxation before and after banquets or for business discussions.
Unlike open-plan restaurants, these sofas need to simultaneously satisfy both seating comfort and spatial etiquette. Seat depth is typically controlled between 550-600mm, while backrest height is customized based on the room's ceiling height and sightlines—too high appears enclosed, while too low lacks support.
The configuration can be flexibly arranged as single sofas, two-seaters, or L-shaped corner units, or even combined with a side table function to create a multi-purpose daybed, adapting to the design strategies of different boutique hotels.
The frame structure is fundamental to the sofa's durability. A combination of multi-layer plywood frames and North American ash solid wood legs achieves a balance between load-bearing capacity and aesthetics.
The moisture content of the solid wood legs is strictly controlled within the 8%-12% range to ensure they do not crack or deform easily under varying climates;
Metal leg options are mostly made of stainless steel, with electroplated brushed or matte black finishes to complement the metal details of the bar or serving cabinets.
It's worth noting that if the sofa's armrests and backrest use a wooden frame, the chamfering treatment can maintain consistency with the craftsmanship within the private room, a common detail coordination requirement in hotel projects.
The customization options for the upholstery system are extremely rich. Fabrics can be selected from microfiber leather, PU leather, linen, or velvet, depending on budget and style—high-end hotels prefer the delicate texture and wear resistance of microfiber leather, while culturally themed hotels might prefer the rustic texture of cotton and linen.
The foam filling uses high-density flame-retardant foam, and the density gradient design creates different support firmness for the seat and backrest, preventing sagging even after prolonged use.
Upholstery techniques support single or double stitching, diamond patterns, or tufted designs, and even allow for metal inlays or solid wood crowns at the top of the backrest, creating a material dialogue with the chandeliers and window frames in the space.
The color scheme of the finishes and fabrics depends on the overall narrative of the hotel.
In a new Chinese style, oak veneer paired with off-white linen, accented with antique bronze metal, can create a tranquil and refined scholarly atmosphere;
Modern business hotels might choose smoked walnut veneer paired with dark gray microfiber leather to convey a sense of calm professionalism. All leather and fabric materials can be provided with fire retardant test reports, complying with fire safety regulations. For resorts with family-friendly features, the fabrics can also be upgraded with stain-resistant coatings to handle complex usage scenarios.
The relationship between restaurant sofas, dining tables, and chairs is one of subtle balance. Their height should not obstruct the line of sight, and the color brightness can be slightly lower than that of the dining chairs to create visual layers.
If the armrest width is designed to be 80mm or more, it can also be used to temporarily place teacups or mobile phones, enhancing functional flexibility.
In the customization process, we usually recommend extracting and repeating design elements from the metal legs or wooden legs of the sofas and the bases of the dining chairs, allowing the entire set of furniture in the private dining room to have an inherent rhythm—this systematic integration capability is precisely what distinguishes luxury hotel furniture custom service providers from single-item suppliers.
