RESTAURANT FURNITURE
Furniture for restaurants that fill every cover, every service.
Dining rooms, bars, lounges and private rooms — designed, manufactured and installed by a single house.
Fine-dining restaurant interior by Sagist Group featuring custom leather banquette seating, bespoke walnut dining chairs, brass-detailed bar front and decorative pendant lighting — full F&B FF&E manufactured and installed in-house from Istanbul ateliers.
A SINGLE HOUSE, FROM DRAWING TO INSTALLATION
A restaurant opens on a date. We work to that date.
Sagist is a vertically integrated manufacturer. Dining chairs, banquettes, bar fronts, host stands, decorative joinery and service stations are produced inside our own ateliers in Istanbul, on machinery we own and operate — robotic laser cutting lines, CNC five-axis routers, edge-banding and pressure-veneer presses, in-house finishing booths and dedicated upholstery floors with hardwood frame shops. A restaurant programme cannot survive a fragmented supply chain. It needs one schedule, one finishing standard, and one team accountable from the concept boards to the first night of service.
Every specification is written to contract grade. Frames are kiln-dried hardwood, joinery is engineered for daily service abuse, and upholstery foams and fabrics are tested to the fire-safety standards required by the project's jurisdiction — BS 5852 Crib 5, California TB 117-2013, IMO MED for marine and yacht-club applications, and the regional civil-defence codes operative in the Gulf. Textile abrasion is specified to a minimum of 40,000 Martindale for high-traffic dining floors, with leather hides selected for staining and spill resistance. We coordinate directly with the restaurant designer and the operator's F&B team, and our own installation crews mobilise to site against the soft-opening calendar — not after it.

HOW A RESTAURANT PROJECT MOVES THROUGH SAGIST
From concept boards to first service, in six stages.
01 · Brief We review the restaurant designer's concept boards, the operator's brand standard, the cover count and the F&B schedule. A dedicated project director is named on day one and works directly with the F&B operations team.
02 · Design Shop drawings, material specifications and 1:1 detail studies for chairs, banquettes, bar fronts and service joinery. We coordinate directly with the restaurant design studio and the bar consultant until every line item is signed.
03 · Sample Full prototypes of every dining chair, banquette section, bar stool and bar-front element are built, photographed and shipped — or hosted at our sample rooms — for operator and designer approval. No production opens without a signed sample.
04 · Manufacture Production opens across our Istanbul ateliers — casegoods, upholstery, joinery, stone and metal — on a programme calibrated to the soft-opening date. Weekly photographic updates issued to the designer and the operator.
05 · Ship Tailored container loading, marine and overland logistics, customs clearance at the destination port. We carry the freight risk until containers reach site.
06 · Install Our own installation crews unpack, place and snag every piece, outlet by outlet, against the operator's pre-opening calendar. The project closes with a fully commissioned, service-ready restaurant — chairs aligned, banquettes set, bar dressed and lit.
FAQ Frequently asked
Q1 — Can Sagist match a restaurant designer's concept exactly, including custom chair and banquette designs? Yes. The majority of our F&B commissions are full custom — dining chairs, banquettes, bar fronts and service joinery designed by the named restaurant design studio, manufactured by us to their drawings. Where the brief requires a recognisable signature piece, we sample to 1:1 and refine until the designer signs. We do not substitute or repeat private designs across other operators.
Q2 — What contract-grade standards do you build to — for daily service durability? Our F&B furniture is built to international contract standards. Frames are kiln-dried hardwood with mortise-and-tenon or doweled joinery, glued and screwed. Upholstery foams are contract-density, fire-tested to BS 5852 Crib 5 and California TB 117-2013. Textiles are specified to a minimum of 40,000 Martindale for high-traffic dining floors, with options for stain-treated leather hides. Bar fronts and tables are engineered for daily wet-and-dry service and intensive cleaning regimes.
Q3 — What is a realistic lead time for a 120-cover restaurant? For a fully specified 120-cover restaurant — dining room, bar, lounge and one private dining room — typical production-and-installation lead time is 14 to 18 weeks from signed contract and approved samples to commissioned handover. Lead time compresses for repeat operator programmes and extends for outlets with bespoke stone bar fronts, hand-painted finishes or imported leather selections.
