Looking for the best mid-century hospitality furniture manufacturers
Hey all I’ve recently gotten the opportunity to start the build a bowling alley venue in Amsterdam, a dream project for me.
The direction is heavily inspired by high-end leisure spaces from the 50s through 70s. Old bowling lounges, cocktail bars, Palm Springs hotels, airport lounges, diners, that sort of atmosphere. Not trying to make it feel like a theme park or fake retro place, more something timeless that captures the warmth and confidence those spaces had.
We already found sourced some vintage pieces, but the venue is pretty big so we still need a lot of furniture. I’m mainly searching for manufacturers or studios that make hospitality furniture with a proper mid-century feel to it. Booths, lounge seating, stools, tables, lighting, custom pieces, anything interesting really.
I’m willing to travel for the right partners, so recommendations from anywhere are welcome. Could be big manufacturers, smaller workshops, hidden gems, trade fairs, whatever comes to mind.
Would love to hear if anyone here has experience with companies worth checking out.
