The booth sofa (also known as the built-in sofa) is a seating design that is widely used in restaurants, cafes and home spaces. Its unique design not only saves space, but also creates a warm and comfortable dining or leisure atmosphere. When designing a booth sofa, there are several key principles to pay attention to to ensure that it is both practical and beautiful. The following are the basic principles and detailed analysis of booth sofa design:
1. Space layout and functionality- Space utilization : Card seat sofas are often used in places where the space is small or where corners need to be effectively utilized. Therefore, when designing, you need to consider how to maximize the use of space and ensure that an appropriate distance is maintained between the sofa and other furniture (such as dining tables, desks, etc.).
- Comfort and practicality : When designing a booth sofa, pay attention to comfort and consider the height of the seat, the angle of the backrest, the depth of the sofa, etc. The booth sofa should not only be suitable for dining and resting, but also may require sitting for a long time, so comfort is very important.
- Seat material : Choose comfortable and durable materials such as high-quality upholstery, leather, fabric, etc. To enhance comfort, seat cushions and backrests should be of appropriate thickness and support.
- Coordinate appearance and style : The material and color of the booth sofa should be consistent with the overall style of the restaurant or space. For example, a modern-style booth sofa can use simple leather or fabric materials, while a traditional-style booth sofa may choose a wooden frame and vintage fabrics.
- Size matching : The size of the booth sofa should match the size of the surrounding space, dining table or other furniture. The length of the sofa should usually match the length of the dining table to ensure comfort and beauty during use.
- Seat height : The height of the seat should be coordinated with the height of the dining table. It is usually recommended that the seat height be slightly lower than the height of the dining table to maintain a natural posture when dining.
- Invisible storage design : A unique advantage of the booth sofa is that it can integrate storage functions. When designing, you can add hidden storage cabinets at the bottom or back of the sofa to conveniently store daily items, such as tableware, seat cushions or other sundries. This saves space and improves functionality.
- Supportiveness of the seat cushion and backrest : The design of the booth sofa should ensure that it has appropriate support, especially for the backrest part. The seat cushion should not be too soft, otherwise it will affect the sitting posture; at the same time, the angle of the backrest should be appropriate to provide support without making people feel oppressive.
- Backrest design : The backrest can be upright, tilted or semi-reclining. The specific design should consider the use requirements of the space. If it is a dining room booth sofa, a more upright backrest may be more suitable; while if it is a leisure space, you can choose a slightly inclined backrest to enhance the feeling of relaxation.
- Simplicity and sophistication : The design of the booth sofa should be simple and elegant, in harmony with the overall style of the space. When designing, you can add some detailed decorations, such as exquisite stitching, unique fabric textures, or soft cushions, pillows and other elements to add comfort and beauty.
- Color matching : The color selection should consider the tone of the space. The color of the booth sofa can echo the color of the wall, floor, curtains, etc. If the overall tone of the space is relatively simple and elegant, you can choose some soft neutral colors; if you want to highlight your personality, you can also choose eye-catching colors or unique pattern designs.
- Stability : The booth sofa needs to ensure a stable structure, especially the embedded part must be firmly installed. When designing, the connection part between the seat and the back panel should use higher strength materials and fixing methods to ensure safety during use.
- Durable materials : Booth sofas often need to withstand heavy use pressure, especially in commercial environments, so it is important to choose materials that are durable and easy to clean. Stain-resistant, water-resistant fabrics and abrasion-resistant materials increase longevity.
- Breathability : Booth sofas are usually designed with longer seats, so it is important to ensure that the seat cushions and backrests are breathable to avoid odor or moisture due to long-term use. You can choose fabrics with better breathability, or design ventilation holes and removable seat cushions.
- Easy to clean : Design the sofa with ease of cleaning in mind, especially in public spaces such as restaurants and cafes. Choose removable, washable fabrics or coatings to reduce maintenance.
- Lighting design : Card seat sofas are often used together with dining tables, bars and other furniture. Appropriate lighting design can enhance the overall atmosphere. Warm-colored lighting can increase the warmth of a space, especially at night. Soft lighting can relax people and improve comfort during dining or leisure.
- Personalized needs : According to the needs of different users, the design of booth sofas can be customized. Especially in commercial spaces, designers can provide customized design solutions based on the layout of the restaurant, the target customer group and the characteristics of the space. Make it more personal and distinctive.
The design of a booth sofa should not only consider aesthetics and space layout, but also pay attention to its comfort, functionality and durability. Through reasonable size, material selection, space matching and detailed design, the booth sofa can not only improve space utilization, but also provide users with a practical and comfortable dining or leisure environment.
