What is in the range

These pieces work best in grouped seating rather than as scattered singles. They help define slower guest zones away from the main dining or bar lines.

This range suits terrace hospitality, wedding drinks receptions, sponsor lounges and festival chill-out areas. Book the main pieces in the same order so the setup works as one service plan.

Rattan Armchair

Single-seat terrace and breakout use.

Rattan Armchair and Table Set

Compact lounge cluster with shared surface space.

Rattan Lounge Set

Fuller guest zone with more presence and seating depth.


Choosing the right option

Choose by cluster size, dwell time and how much table surface the lounge area needs.

Use smaller clusters for breakout space and the fuller lounge set where guests will stay for longer periods. Leave enough room around each grouping for drinks service and circulation. Rattan seating looks strongest on clean, level ground with shade or cover where guests sit through the day.

  • Build seat clusters around guest group size
  • Use small sets on tighter footprints
  • Use the lounge set for VIP or longer dwell zones
  • Add tables so guests have a place for drinks
  • Keep lounge groups out of the main queue route
  • Plan shade or cover on exposed terraces
