Meet the Tavo Collection
The Tavo collection is one of our best sellers, and it’s easy to see why. Inspired by industrial design, and built for the modern hospitality industry, Tavo seamlessly blends cool utilitarian style with hardwearing functionality.
Available with either an upholstered or wooden seat and back, Tavo’s appeal lies in its simplicity. It’s a design that won’t date and looks as good in classic surroundings as it does in contemporary interiors. Available as a side chair, armchair, mid-height stool, and bar stool, Tavo offers the versatility to furnish a restaurant, bar, or café with products from the same family, meaning consistency and design cohesion.

Beautifully Crafted Contract Chairs & Bar Stools
Upholstered Tavo
The upholstered version of Tavo is available in six vintage-inspired colours. The back and seat have distinctive ribbed upholstery in high-quality faux leather, a durable and hardwearing material. With black, grey, teal, tan, red, and brown on offer, you’re sure to find a shade that suits your interior style.
Designed for high traffic environments, Tavo frames are constructed from strong tubular steel, which has been lacquered for extra protection, and the legs are fitted with floor protectors to prevent scuffs and scratches. To make moving, rearranging, and cleaning easier, the range is completely stackable, with chairs stacking up to 8 units high, and stools up to 6 high.

Wooden Tavo
The wooden version of Tavo is the newest member of the family and is available as a side chair or bar stool. With a choice of oak or black, the seats and backs have been crafted from high-quality lacquered beech ply and finished with metal studs.
As with the upholstered seating, the frames have been manufactured from lacquered tubular steel. Combined with the wooden seat and back, the chairs and stools are reminiscent of vintage workshop or school chairs, the perfect fusion of industrial chic and modern functionality.

Make Tavo Your Own

• Wood: Select from our standard wood colours or a Tavo stock stain.
• Frame: Powder-coat the metal frame with your choice of any RAL colour.

How Tavo is Making its Mark
The contract furniture you select is a visual representative of your business and brand. In any bar, restaurant, hotel, or event space, your venue's interior - specifically the style and condition of your furniture - makes a powerful, lasting impression on customers long before they experience the quality of your service, food, or drink.
The Tavo collection is the perfect balance of form and function and will work equally as well in a contemporary interior or a more classic venue with vintage inspiration. And with the option to now customise the seating, you can really bring the vision for your venue to life.
The newly opened Banana Tree restaurant in Cardiff has used Tavo chairs and bar stools to maximum effect. The unique and vibrant interior demanded stand-out commercial furniture, so the interior designer chose a mixture of stock Tavo dining chairs and bar stools, mixed with custom versions of the industrially inspired seating. A stunning jungle-patterned fabric was used across the back of Tavo in red, and also for the fixed seating throughout the restaurant.

The Benefits of Investing in Quality Commercial Furniture
When furnishing a hospitality space, standard domestic furniture isn't up to the task. Commercial settings demand contract-grade furniture that is inherently strong, safe, and built for durability. Seating, in particular, must endure regular moving, frequent use, and constant cleaning.
That’s why, at Eclipse Furniture, all our products are tested and certified for contract use. The entire Tavo collection has been built to last and is tested for strength, durability, and safety to contract Level 1 (EN 16139:2013/AC:2013) by FIRA International. This means that we are confident the Tavo chairs and bar stools will withstand daily wear and tear in a commercial environment, ensuring a longer lifespan and reducing the need for frequent replacements, ultimately saving money and stress, promoting sustainability and supporting a circular economy.
You can find out more about the importance of testing contract furniture on our blog.
