Metal is the frame here, not the trim. At each end of the booth stands a pair of polished copper tubes, fat at the base and finished with domed caps. Between them, along the top of the back, runs an open copper gallery: a horizontal rail on short balusters, like the brass rail of an old railway carriage or the edge of a bar counter.
The upholstery sits inside that frame. The back is two deep horizontal rolls in soft grey velvet, one above the other, and the seat is a single generous cushion in the same fabric. A walnut plinth with a rounded front edge carries the whole booth. In the room shown, rows of these booths stand back to back with black marble tables on black pedestals, among copper bar fittings.
Construction. Hardwood and plywood carcass; copper-finished steel or solid copper tube fabricated and fixed through to the frame; rolls upholstered separately for replacement; solid walnut plinth.
Where it works. Brewery restaurants, grill bars and venues with copper, brass or industrial detailing.
Options. Copper, brass or blackened metal; rail height; velvet or leather; single or back-to-back; booth length. Lacquered finishes on request to slow tarnishing. Foams and fabrics to BS 5852 / BS 7176 on request.
