Many pub and lounge owners will go for a retro look to re-capture classic 1950’s diner style by outfitting the room with bucket seat swivel chairs and retro style swivel bar stools. However, with the right upholstery design and color, frame material and setting you can easily use retro style commercial seating in contemporary martini bars and chic lounges to create an atmosphere that is both traditional and modern.
If contemporary style means anything today it is a mix and match of everything that has preceded it. It’s rare that you will find an entirely brand new idea that doesn’t borrow from a previous idea and the same goes for commercial furniture and decorating bars and lounges. New designs in commercial seating aren’t all that prevalent since most places get all they need out of restaurant chairs, bar stools and booths. Where the creativity comes in to play is by selecting retro bar stools that fit in with contemporary bar tops and finding classic swivel restaurant chairs that will accent an ultra chic martini lounge.
Not every setting allows for daring decorating ideas but if your establishment is the kind of place where creativity and bold ideas are welcome then you have the opportunity to be more bold with your choice of commercial seating. Now, all those retro bar stools and bucket seat swivel chairs you thought could only work in a diner setting have a whole new appeal when it comes to chic contemporary themes.
The advantage of retro style commercial seating is that the quality never goes out of style. Made from rugged metal, chrome and aluminum frames with durable vinyl upholstering and comfortable foam seat cushions retro style bar stools and chairs are some of the most enjoyable furniture on the commercial market today. Unlike traditional hardwood furniture that really only fits certain bar and pub settings retro stools and chairs can be used in many different settings as long as the match is right.
An upscale martini lounge or even espresso bar is a great example of a contemporary setting that can accent its theme with retro bar stools. These chic and sleek lounges attract a younger, hip crowd that dresses in jeans and jackets and are more likely to text friends via an iPhone than read a newspaper or magazine. Crowds such as these will find retro bar stools to be choice selections for the bar’s theme and even use the chic seating as a conversation starter.
Contemporary cafes and specialized bars are also places that can use retro furniture and have it seamlessly fit in with even high-tech and futuristic décor. One of the great characteristics of 1950’s style is how advanced it was for its day and how it always had an avant-garde quality even when it was the standard. Today, polished chrome bar stools and vinyl upholstered bucket seat chairs fit in perfectly with video bars and places that cater to friends who want to watch a favorite TV show at a bar or for young entrepreneurs who prefer doing business at an upscale café that has more room to work.
