Restaurant Chair Design - Which Is Best, Metal Or Wood? 

The constant argument between restaurant owners is this: Which restaurant chairs design is best - metal or wood?  I have yet to read an argument that convinces me.  Despite the arguments, the truth is that all three have their disadvantages and their benefits.

What I do question, which is best, is where one attempts to replicate one of the others.  There is A good example metal with wood that's painted to look like metal , or a wood like stain.  If you want the wood look - use wood.  If you want the metallic appearance then use metal.   Cost is a major factor and for some chairs, having the ability to resist weather is another.


Style is another major factor you should consider when choosing between the two. For more traditional outlets you'll probably want to go with wooden chairs. If you're more into modern style then metal would probably be the better option. Though if you have the money and want really modern chairs then you should opt for acrylic. Acrylic chairs have the ability to really enhance the look of an environment, though unfortunately they can be pricey. 



Wood Chairs






The benefit of using wood chairs is that it has an upscale appearance, they ought to last you 10 years or longer.  They ought to be cleaned to make them and keep them looking clean, you will also have to tighten the screws and bolts.  They may need the chairs replaced or refinished after a few years, while the wood chairs may get scratches the vinyl seats may get rips and wear spots.  You could recover them or sand them down and refinish them.



Metal Chairs






The benefit of using metal furniture is that it will last longer than wood chairs.   If like the wood chairs to make them last 27, they have to be tightened regularly some metal frame chairs use nuts and bolts.  A lot of the metal chairs today are welded and do not need any upkeep aside from cleaning.  Like the wood furniture, recovered, the chairs don't last as long as the frames and might have to be refinished or replaced.

You may argue that durability is also a major element.  When used to make cafe seats plastics outlast both metal and timber actually.  I don't see any difference between metal or wood, apart from weathering.  It should be remembered that we are discussing quality furniture.  They both will survive for years.  Treated incorrectly, and all three substances could fall apart very quickly.  When it comes to a restaurant chairs design, the best material is one which fits in with your decor that is overall.  It is much better to match up the chairs with the present decor.

Looking Forward to Modern Design




Modern design is, in many ways, a solution but it is also an art form. Contemporary fashions have developed in such a manner that home interiors are not only designed to provide an intellectual landscape to the mind and soul, but also to solve problems. The eyes rest on a seat, but it is when we are beholding the results of the modern design as a whole that the settings and the objects carry out their full potential.

Design fads come and go, but "modern" has been a lasting and evolving term. What was once the pinnacle of contemporary ingenuity becomes "classic" as the years drift by. On the flip side of things, just because something is new does not make it contemporary. Contemporary's definition will continue to change as styles do, which is something we could see as evolving every year.


Today's Modern Misconceptions

Many tend to prefer the traditional over the modern due to preconceived mental images of hard edges and primary colors being cold and uncomfortable. When the simple fact is that in the art world those things were modern, but things can change in the blink of an eye. Those few that are reluctant will always exist although contemporary designers know that there is more to modern than minimalism. It has nothing to do with abstract pieces that are preferred by some as merely evolving tastes.

Looking Sharp Doesn't Cut It

The returning workforce of industrialist America needed a way to rapidly produce considerable amounts of furniture to the population of post-WWII baby-boomers. The fact that machines could be used to create low-assembly units effectively produced the sleek styles that we see. It's still about technology and simple lines, but designers are seeking to utilize more than just that: good, honest materials. Sustainability is a huge part of what modern design is right now.

The contemporary design principals are still valid but are constantly undergoing transformation away from surfaces. For instance, the iconic Ball Chair is constantly undergoing revisions by different designers of today. And one that allows interaction is opening the chair up to more rooms of the house has been transformed into by design.

Some may say that modern design will be saved by sustainability. Though it will evolve through the representation of designers of the day, it will at its heart remain timeless.
