Fine-dining seating, drawn to order
Channel-stitched, piped and brass-trimmed booths for fine-dining rooms, made one dining room at a time from approved shop drawings and a physical sample.
Maison Banquette (a line by EASEN Commercial Furniture) designs and makes couture banquettes, period booths and upholstered dining chairs for fine-dining restaurants and luxury hospitality interiors. Every piece is made to order in our own production base in Lecong, Foshan, China, from shop drawings you approve, with a pre-production sample on request, and shipped factory-direct by sea.
Straight-run banquettes defined by their back: horizontal channels, buttonless biscuit, wave-top channels, embossed leather, floating brass panels and wings.

Statement booths drawn from Art Deco, neoclassical, Regency and London club traditions, interpreted for commercial use and warm modern materials.

The end of a banquette run faces the aisle and takes the knocks; these end treatments turn it into a finished architectural detail.

Curved horseshoe booths, brass-railed channel booths, very high backs and screened booths: the seats that become the best table in the room.

Upholstered dining chairs and lounge chairs drawn in the same hand as the banquettes, for the open side of every table.

A couture banquette is judged at one metre: whether channels are even, whether the piping runs unbroken round a curve, whether the stitch line sits dead straight across three metres. We set out every channel width and welt on the drawing before a single panel is cut, so the room you designed is the room you get.
Fine-dining seating lives or dies by its edges. Brushed-brass edge guards, inset brass strips, fluted pilasters and solid walnut plinths are drawn as part of the banquette, not bolted on afterwards, so the joinery, upholstery and metal all meet on the same line.
We make in our own production base in Lecong, Foshan, the centre of China's furniture industry. You deal directly with the people who cut, frame and sew: one set of drawings, one sample, one production run, crated and shipped to your site without a chain of resellers in between.
A straight-run banquette with deep horizontal channels across the back, the most versatile couture back for long wall runs.
A buttonless biscuit-tufted back in caramel leather: the steakhouse classic, built to be wiped down every night.
A channel-stitched banquette whose crest rises and falls in soft waves, with the piping following every curve.
An oxblood leather banquette with a heat-embossed scallop pattern: the texture of tufting with the smooth surface of a plain panel.
A low-bulk banquette whose upholstered back panel floats on brass uprights, leaving an open gap above the seat.
A 125 cm high-back banquette with upholstered wings at head height, creating a semi-private seat without building a booth.
A stepped fan-back banquette with brushed-brass strips at every tier and concentric brass arcs on the end face.
A painted banquette framed by three-step timber mouldings, fluted pilasters and a central carved medallion, with a deep-buttoned back.
Send your floor plan, elevations or a sketch with the look you want. We confirm seat counts, back heights, run lengths and where the end caps fall against aisles, columns and service stations.
We issue dimensioned shop drawings: plan, front and side elevations, stitch layout, piping and metal details, frame and foam build-up. Nothing goes into production until you sign them off.
On request we make a pre-production sample or a stitch mock-up in your chosen fabric or leather, and confirm fire-performance requirements for the destination market before cutting.
Frames, upholstery and metalwork are made in Lecong. Typical timing is 30–45 days for standard designs and 45–60 days for custom work after approval; your quote confirms the exact schedule.
Banquettes are wrapped, corner-protected and crated for sea freight, labelled to match the plan. We quote FOB, CIF or DDP and supply fixing details for your installer.

How to plan banquettes in a fine-dining room: space per cover, seat width per guest, table gaps, back heights for privacy and sightlines, aisles and access.
A couture banquette is a built-in or freestanding upholstered bench seat made to the exact dimensions of a room, with tailoring-level detail: channel or biscuit stitching set out to the run length, continuous piping, and integrated timber or brass trims. Maison Banquette (a line by EASEN Commercial Furniture) draws each one from your plan and makes it to order in Foshan.
Most restaurant banquettes have an overall back height of 107 cm (42 in). Fine-dining rooms often go higher, 115–135 cm, to give acoustic and visual privacy, while open rooms and window lines use 85–95 cm to keep sightlines clear. We confirm back height against your ceiling height, lighting and the view from the entrance.
Our standard seat height is 46 cm (about 18 in) to the top of the compressed cushion, matched to a 74–76 cm dining table. Seat depth is typically 50–56 cm for upright dining and up to 60 cm for lounge-style booths. Overall depth including the back is usually 60–75 cm depending on back thickness and rake.
Yes. We accept customer's own material and customer's own leather. Send the specification sheet first so we can check width, repeat, rub rating and fire performance, then ship the material to our factory. We calculate the metres or square feet needed from the shop drawings, including pattern matching across channels.
For UK contract use we specify fire-retardant foams and fabrics intended to meet BS 7176 at the required hazard level, which for most restaurants is medium hazard (BS 5852 cigarette, match and crib 5). For California we specify to CAL TB 117-2013. Test reports are supplied for the specific item where available. Always confirm requirements with your fire officer or authority having jurisdiction.
Maison Banquette is a line by EASEN Commercial Furniture, and every piece is made in our own production base in Lecong, Foshan, China, then shipped direct. Working factory-direct is what allows bespoke stitch layouts, metalwork and joinery to be drawn and made by one team.
