Furniture for Restaurants & Beach Clubs
Commercial-grade dining chairs, outdoor tables, bar stools and pendant fixtures, built to survive 300 days of operation per year, designed to look like they were chosen for their aesthetics.
The commercial furniture problem
The hardest brief in hospitality furniture.
Restaurant and beach club furniture sits at the hardest intersection in hospitality sourcing: pieces that must look deliberately designed while surviving conditions that will destroy furniture not built for commercial use. A rattan dining chair that works aesthetically might have a seat pan that fails structurally under the mechanical stress of being moved, sat in, moved again, 200 times a day, 300 days a year.
Most furniture designed for aesthetics is not built for this. Most furniture built for commercial durability has the appearance of something selected from a contract furniture catalogue, because it was. The brief is to solve both requirements simultaneously, without compromise on either.
Commercial furniture production at the workshop starts from the operational requirement. Chair construction is specified for the setup-breakdown cycle if stackability is needed. Table frames use steel leg assemblies where vibration would loosen all-timber joinery. Rattan weaving patterns are modified for commercial seat pans without changing the visual character. The aesthetic follows from a construction that will typically still be structurally sound after five years of daily use.
What the workshop produces
Dining chairs
Rattan and teak dining chairs for indoor and outdoor restaurant use. Stackable designs available. Rattan commercial weaving pattern reinforces structural rigidity without changing the open-weave aesthetic.
Dining & bar tables
A-grade plantation teak tops on powder-coated steel frames, the construction method of choice for commercial tables where vibration from daily service would loosen all-teak joint construction. Custom dimensions, edge profiles and powder-coat colour.
Bar stools & lounge pieces
Bar stools in rattan and teak, upholstered lounge chairs and daybeds for cocktail and pool bar areas. Designed to the same commercial structural specification as dining chairs, tested loads, stackable where required, specified for your climate.
Beach club daybeds
Pool daybeds and sun loungers rated for coastal UV and salt air environments. Teak frames with marine-grade hardware, UV-stabilised cushion fabrics available. Platform and freestanding configurations. Stackable side tables to match.
Pendant & ceiling fixtures
Bespoke bamboo and rattan pendant lights, produced in the workshop and pre-wired for your destination's electrical standard. Installation hardware specified from your ceiling structural drawings. Available in multiple diameter configurations.
Architectural installations
Large-scale bamboo ceiling installations, rattan wall panels, architectural screens. Produced in numbered sections mapped to installation drawings.

Bali's commercial furniture heritage
Bali has been producing commercial hospitality furniture for export since the 1990s. The island's craft infrastructure, rattan weaving workshops, teak joinery ateliers, bamboo fabrication, developed in direct response to demand from hotel and restaurant developers across Southeast Asia, Australia and Europe.
The consequence is that the workshop has commercial production capability that most European artisan furniture makers don't. Consistent production of 80 identical dining chairs is a routine exercise for the rattan team. A 220 sqm bamboo ceiling installation is a complex logistics problem, not an impossible one.
Project scenario
A typical 200-cover project
Illustrative example. 120 pieces for an open-air venue. Stackable commercial-grade rattan dining chairs, A-grade teak tables on powder-coated steel frames, 24 pre-wired bamboo pendant lights in three sizes. One 40ft HC container, typically 8 to 10 weeks of workshop production.
- 200 covers
- 120 pieces
- 1 × 40ft HC
- 8 to 10 weeks typical production
Restaurant & beach club questions
What commercial-grade standards do the workshop's restaurant pieces meet?
All restaurant and beach club furniture is built by the workshop to commercial hospitality specification. Rattan weaving patterns for commercial chairs use a modified construction that reinforces the seat pan, the primary structural failure point under daily use. Teak table frames use powder-coated steel leg assemblies on pieces where all-teak joinery would loosen under vibration.
Can restaurant furniture be stackable?
Stackability is specified at the brief stage for any beach club or outdoor restaurant project where daily setup and breakdown is required. The workshop's commercial chair designs are stackable in sets of 6 to 8. The workshop specifies the stacking depth and storage footprint in the production documentation so you can plan your storage before delivery.
Can pendant lights and fixtures be pre-wired for local electrical standards?
Yes. The workshop produces bespoke pendant and ceiling fixtures in bamboo and rattan, pre-wired for your destination's electrical standard (EU 230V, US/Mexico 120V, UAE 220V, etc.). Installation hardware is specified to your ceiling structure from photographs and structural drawings.
How does the workshop handle large outdoor cover counts?
A 200-cover beach club is a full production run for the workshop team, large enough to justify a senior craftsman on every workbench, small enough for direct oversight throughout. The workshop works in production batches with QC sign-off between batches. Dimensional consistency across a large cover count is a logged process, not an assumption.
What's the lead time for a beach club fit-out?
Allow the workshop's typical 12 to 20 weeks door-to-door depending on destination from brief sign-off to delivery on site for a full beach club or restaurant fit-out. This includes 8 to 10 weeks of workshop production, QC and container packing, plus shipping that varies by destination. The workshop works backward from your opening date to establish the latest possible brief sign-off.
Can the materials match an existing property aesthetic?
Send Ubud Atelier reference photographs of your existing interior and the workshop proposes a material and finish direction. The workshop can closely match existing teak finishes, replicate rattan weave patterns and align stone surface treatments. For expansions of an existing restaurant where consistency with existing pieces matters, the workshop requests reference samples before production.

What the workshop makes
Specification sheets by category.
Front of house usually means seating and tables specified together, with outdoor pieces where the room opens onto a terrace or a deck.
