Commercial café furniture made for outdoor lounging

Make your coffee shop’s outdoor area a haven of relaxation with SEGERÖN outdoor conversation sets. They are ideal for all-weather lounging and can also be used to break up large open spaces into inviting rooms within the room.

Ideas for personalising a modern theme

Infuse your café with personality and a whimsical flair by combining geometric and organic shapes. One way to do this is to match round tables and ZEBRASÄV pendant lamps with wavy edges. Blue open shelving units offer space for storage and display while adding a playful pop of colour.

Make your café unique with decorative, shoppable objects

Set up an artsy nook inside your café by mounting minimalist PLATSA open shelving units and filling them with things to admire or buy. This area gives your customers a room to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee while getting inspired by your eclectic collections.
