Flexible seating for varied café experience

The LJ PET Felt collection provides Apoteka with seating that adapts to different customer needs throughout the day. LJ 1 PET Felt Armchairs create comfortable zones for longer stays, whilst stackable LJ 2 PET Felt Stack Chairs allow quick reconfiguration during busy lunch periods. The PET felt material aligns with the café's sustainable values whilst providing acoustic benefits that maintain a pleasant atmosphere even when busy. This combination solves the hospitality challenge of balancing comfort with operational efficiency.

Supporting connection through furniture placement

LJ 3 PET Felt Bar Stools at high tables and counters create informal meeting points where customers can watch baristas work on the La Marzocco Modbar espresso machine. The counter-height seating encourages interaction whilst maintaining open sightlines throughout the space. Different seating heights, from armchairs to bar stools, define zones within the open-plan café, allowing customers to choose their preferred setting whether working alone or meeting friends, all whilst enjoying views of the Swabian Alb.
