Upholstered benches and banquettes have become a formal option to traditionally informal seating. Give me a glass of wine, good food and conversation, and who wouldn’t want to cozy up in one of these banquettes?
.
Warning: impromptu gatherings may occur. Keep a well-stocked bar for best results.
.
Dinner parties will last all night long! Lots of seating and when the early birds hit the road, I would guess three adults could stretch out with room to spare.
.
This space needs an abundance of candlelight. And a cheese platter…

.
Slightly less formal, but just as inviting…
.
No detail is amiss – right down to the cushion’s French mattress edge.
.
Original (& un-upholstered) Thonet chairs and bench are just. plain. perfect.
.
And suddenly I want to host a dinner party.
