Cafe Chair

Cafe chair for stylish and practical outdoor seating at large-scale events

When you’re furnishing high-traffic outdoor zones at major festivals or sports hospitality areas, finding the right balance between aesthetics and practicality is essential. That’s where the cafe chair comes into its own. Combining durability with lightweight construction and timeless design, this chair is one of the most sought-after choices for event professionals looking to create smart, functional, and flexible outdoor seating areas.

Offered in a range of finishes — including full aluminium, teak and aluminium, and wicker and aluminium — the cafe chair brings variety to your furniture palette while maintaining consistency in comfort and usability. This selection allows planners to tailor the look and feel of each zone within their venue, whether you’re aiming for contemporary minimalism or a more natural, relaxed environment.

Despite being lightweight, the chair is built with robustness in mind. It stands up well to busy events where furniture is in constant use and needs to be relocated or repositioned quickly. The aluminium frames are naturally weather-resistant, while the teak and wicker elements introduce warmth and texture, ideal for softening the appearance of metallic surfaces in a practical yet stylish way.

Outdoor furniture designed for versatility and ease of use

Thanks to its stackable design, the cafe chair is easy to transport, store and install in bulk — a major benefit for large events requiring fast setup and teardown. You can stack them securely on trolleys or pallets for efficient deployment across festival fields, sporting arenas, press zones or VIP hospitality terraces. This stackability also makes them an excellent choice for venues with limited back-of-house space.

Each version of the cafe chair includes a slatted seat and backrest, which not only enhances airflow and comfort during warm weather but also adds a distinct visual detail. The slatted design is particularly well-suited to outdoor environments, where quick drying after rain or easy cleaning between sittings is important for guest comfort and furniture presentation.

Incorporating cafe chairs into your event furniture layout also gives you greater flexibility. Whether positioned alongside circular cafe tables for informal drinks receptions, paired with poseur tables in shaded refreshment areas, or used around catering kiosks and street food hubs, these chairs elevate the overall professionalism of your space. Their cohesive design language works across both casual and premium zones, ensuring visual unity without sacrificing practicality.

Why hiring cafe chairs is a smart choice for large events

Hiring cafe chairs offers multiple advantages for event organisers managing temporary setups. For one, you avoid the financial and logistical burden of owning large volumes of seating. Instead of committing to permanent storage and ongoing upkeep, you get access to top-quality furniture that’s delivered, installed, and collected in sync with your event schedule.

This is particularly helpful for one-off events or occasions where guest numbers and layouts vary from one activation to the next. Whether you’re organising a backstage artist hospitality lounge at a music festival or furnishing terrace areas at a national sports tournament, hiring cafe chairs enables you to scale your layout based on real-time requirements.

Hiring is also a sustainable option. These chairs are used across multiple events, reducing single-use waste and promoting circular furniture use — an increasingly important consideration in today’s eco-conscious planning landscape. Each chair is cleaned and maintained professionally between hires, ensuring that your seating always arrives in excellent condition, ready for immediate use.

Moreover, the ability to select from multiple finishes means you can maintain a consistent visual theme across your venue without compromise, while still enjoying the cost-efficiency and adaptability of a hire-based model.
