1. Classic Bistro Chair

Classic French bistro style has inspired café furniture for over a century. Its continued popularity isn't merely a matter of looks; it's a testament to the perfect blend of practicality and elegance. The recognisable chair is lightweight, comfortable, and stackable, and its elegance is indisputable. Perfect for creating a laid-back vibe with a touch of ‘je ne sais quoi’, the commercial bistro chair is a furniture icon.

2. Chic Marble-Effect Table

A marble-topped table may be the epitome of chic, but it’s not the most practical item of furniture for a busy café. Luckily, you can find modern, marble-effect laminate tables that are lightweight, stain-resistant, and low maintenance. Not to mention friendlier on the budget! Choosing a flip top table also has the benefits of being easier to move and store when not in use.

3. Vibrant Accent Chair

Your brand identity and colour palette are what makes your café stand out from the one down the road. A pop of colour will add vibrancy and personality, and it’s easy to achieve with our wide range of polypropylene chairs. Not only do you get a chair in a snazzy shade, but you’ll also get a piece of furniture that’s ultra-durable, low maintenance, and weather and UV-resistant, meaning the colour won’t fade.

4. Foldable Furniture

Style and practicality go hand in hand with foldable café furniture from Eclipse. It can be an effective solution for café exteriors, maximizing space and saving time. By day, you’ve got classic bistro styling in warm wood and wrought iron, and when it’s closing time, you can fold up it up, making it easy to clean your outdoor area and safely store the furniture overnight.

5. Rope Detail Seating

Outdoor café furniture featuring rope detailing is a growing trend. It’s a blend of classic and contemporary style that makes a real statement, featuring rope and woven elements on sleek metal frames. The lightweight aluminium makes the chairs easy to move around and stack when not in use, while the carefully crafted synthetic rope seats and backrests are strong, durable, and wonderfully comfortable.

6. Eco Friendly Table

It’s important to look after our environment, and the EKO range at Eclipse Furniture makes it easy to combine sustainability with style. It may look like a classic wooden café table, but our EKO tabletops are made from recycled materials and are manufactured to be stronger than any natural wood. They’re weather and UV-resistant, and really low maintenance. That’s a win-win!

7. Lightweight Aluminium Chair

Say goodbye to heavy metal chairs that are hard to move, stack, and store. And say hello to elegant, lightweight, aluminium chairs that are available in a range of sophisticated shades. Featuring an attractive slatted design, the Arini Side Chair is powder-coated, which means it’s extremely durable and rust-resistant. Perfect for bearing the brunt of the British weather while adding style to your café exterior.

8. Weatherproof Parasol

Al fresco dining is undertaken with the best of intentions, but sometimes the weather just doesn’t cooperate. The easy way to offer your café customers protection from the elements is to invest in commercial grade parasols. They’re crafted from durable materials such as lightweight aluminium and waterproof fabrics, allowing you to utilise your outdoor space whatever the weather.

9. Cafe Barrier

An outdoor café area will undoubtedly draw in passersby, but how do you define your outside space? The easy answer is café barriers. They offer a versatile and cost-effective solution to delineate an outdoor area, improve customer comfort, and create a stylish and safe exterior. And by printing your logo on them, they’re a great way to promote your brand.

10. Practical Planters

A display of perfectly placed plants will take your café from drab to fab! In fact, biophilic design is a big trend for outdoor hospitality spaces at the moment. Our range of EKO Planters are both stylish and practical and can help to zone outside spaces as well as add some greenery. They’re also kinder to the environment as they’re made from 100% recycled materials.
