Banquette seating,
defined as a product.
A specifiable range that sits between loose FF&E soft seating and full bespoke joinery — designed, manufactured and upholstered entirely under one roof.
The middle ground
Off-the-shelf soft seating
Fast and catalogue-priced, but fixed sizes that rarely run cleanly with the architecture.
A defined, configurable product
Catalogue-clear to specify and quote, yet parametric — it flexes to your run length, returns and heights. Glossy data sheets, real lead times.
One-off joinery & upholstery
Total freedom, but slow to design, hard to price early and difficult to sell through third parties.
The range
THREE TIERS OF CONFIGURABILITY
Salthouse
Fixed profile, configure length only. The quickest route to a clean, continuous run.
Marine
Configure length plus back height and style. Balances flexibility with a fast, defined spec.
Clifton
Fully parametric — every dimension, plus returns, planters and finishes. Bespoke, made repeatable.
Everything under one roof
Rare in bespoke commercial upholstery: a single accountable team for design, manufacture and upholstery. Tighter tolerances, shorter lead times, one point of contact — and the joinery around the seating from the same workshop.
Design
Parametric models, CAD, GA drawings and finish schedules issued for specification.
Manufacture
Carcassing and joinery produced in-house to the issued model — no outsourced variance.
Upholstery
Cut, sewn and finished by our own upholsterers in your specified fabric or leather.
Selected projects
PIER is new; the workshop isn't. Paneltech has been designing, making, upholstering and installing seating for hospitality, leisure and workplace clients for years — PIER turns that into a product you can specify.
Beyond the banquette
PIER is made by Paneltech, a bespoke joinery and fit-out manufacturer. The tables, screens, panelling and storage on a scheme can come from the same workshop — one programme, one set of finishes, one point of contact.
Tables & poseurs
Sized to the run and the booth spacing, in veneers and laminates that match the seating.
Screens & dividers
Lattice, slatted or glazed screens that zone a floor and give booths privacy.
Wall panelling
Timber, veneered or upholstered acoustic panelling behind and around the seating.
Booths & pods
Freestanding joinery booths and meeting pods, upholstered in-house.
Planters & feature joinery
Integrated planters, tiered seating and feature walls built as one piece with the seat.
Counters, bars & storage
Reception desks, bar fronts, tea points, lockers and storage walls.
