Café height, poseur height and coffee height tables for staff rooms, canteens and the corner of the office everyone actually likes. The Italia range does most of the work here: round, square and rectangular tops on cross bases or slimline frames, in standard and high gloss finishes, at both dining and poseur heights. Alongside it sit the Impulse coffee tables with metal frames or arrowhead legs, the Solstice coffee table, and the Brixworth coffee tables that pair naturally with our soft seating.
Choosing a bistro or café table
Height first. A poseur table suits standing chats and high stools, a dining height table suits proper lunch breaks with café and bistro seating, and coffee height belongs beside sofas and armchairs. Mixing all three in one space is not a style crime, it is how the best breakout areas work, because different heights invite different lengths of stay and keep the room busy all day.
Then match the base to the floor and the traffic. Cross bases are the most stable on hard floors and tuck chair legs neatly underneath, while disc bases look cleaner but want a genuinely level floor. Round tops with no corners forgive a busy walkway; square and rectangular tops line up along a wall or window bench without wasting an inch of a small staff room.
Canteens and matching pieces
For a full canteen fit-out, start at canteen and restaurant for table and chair sets, add breakout and shaped tables where teams gather in numbers, and use coffee and occasional tables in reception and waiting areas. The wider breakout and canteen range shares finishes, so a mixed space still looks planned rather than collected.
