Counters & bars
Service counters, coffee bars and pass-throughs. Sized to your kit, your workflow and your queue.
Bespoke furniture for independent cafés, bars and restaurants.
We design and make simple, functional furniture for small hospitality spaces. Counters, tables, seating and shelving, built around how your room actually works. Made in London. Built for service.
Every piece is drawn for your space, your team and your trade. Nothing off the shelf. Nothing you don't need.
Service counters, coffee bars and pass-throughs. Sized to your kit, your workflow and your queue.
Café, dining and high tables. Solid tops, stable bases, sized to your covers.
Fitted wall seating that makes every metre count. Storage underneath where you need it.
Sturdy, repairable and easy to clean. Made to handle a busy Saturday, every Saturday.
Retail walls, bottle displays and open shelving. Show the product, hide the clutter.
Back bars, cup and glass storage, station cabinets. Everything in reach, nothing in the way.
Kanso is a Japanese design principle. It means simplicity: taking away what isn't needed so what's left can work properly. That's how we build.
Clean lines and honest materials. Furniture that sits quietly and lets your food, drink and people lead.
Designed around service. Heights, depths and clearances that work for staff and guests, first coffee to last order.
Hard-wearing finishes that can be repaired, not replaced. Built for daily trade, year after year.
Take away what isn't needed. Make what's left work hard. The Kanso principle
Owner-run spaces where every detail matters and every square metre earns its keep. One-off pieces, small runs, or a full front-of-house fit-out.
We come to you, measure up and talk through how your space works during service.
Drawings, material samples and a clear quote. You sign off before anything is cut.
Built by hand in our London workshop, with the precision of CNC where it counts.
Installed around your trading hours where possible, so you're back open fast.
Solid oak, ash and birch plywood. Chosen for strength, stability and a crisp, honest edge.
Hard-wearing oils and lacquers matched to the job. Wipe clean, and easy to refresh.
Proper joinery, rounded edges, hidden fixings. Small things that make a big difference in use.
Designed and built locally. Easy to visit, easy to talk to, easy to come back to.
Opening something new or refreshing what you have? Send a few details and we'll come back to you within two working days.
