Two custom pieces that elevate the restaurant experience: a counter that draws guests in and a service station that helps the team work smoothly.

Main counter

A counter that invites guests to stay

The counter combines light white oak, ash or similar, with a natural matte or satin finish that feels warm to the touch. Timber panels, drawers, sliding doors and glass shelves come together as one inviting, carefully made piece.

A backlit lightbox gives depth to the shelving and puts the product in focus without hard shadows. The result brings the warmth of timber together with a bright, contemporary presence.

Waiters’ station

A station that makes every service easier

The station brings everything the team needs together in one compact piece. A warm cream-orange worktop and splashback sit alongside light timber and darker accents, keeping the piece connected to the dining room.

Easy-clean sliding doors and concealed tracks help service move quickly. It is a quiet, durable piece designed for the real pace of a restaurant.
