Commercial upholstery

Seating that works hard from brunch to last orders.

Durable, comfortable and beautiful restaurant seating that enhances the guest experience and maximises covers without compromising on style.

Restaurant Seating

Made in Wales, delivered nationwide.

Newlook Upholstery design, manufacture and restore restaurant seating across the UK. With over 45 years’ experience we produce seating that increases covers, improves flow and elevates your brand, from independent bistros to multi-site groups.

We supply and install both fixed seating (banquettes, booths, feature walls) and loose furniture (chairs, tables, cube pouffes, stools), and we re-upholster existing pieces to refresh your look at a lower environmental and budget cost.

Materials and finishes, contract grade

  • Fabrics and vinyls: stain-resistant, abrasion-tested, easy-clean finishes.
  • Leathers: premium hides with twin-needled seams for longevity.
  • Foams and support: calibrated densities for dining-height comfort and posture.
  • Frames: hardwood or metal bases engineered for commercial use.
  • Branding: optional embroidery with your logo.

Sectors we serve

Restaurants, cafés, brasseries and food halls; bars, pubs, hotel lounges and private dining; quick-service and casual dining estates.
