The Boilerplate Riveted Booth looks like it was cut from the side of a brew kettle. Its back, wings and base are clad in dark, mottled steel sheet, edged with rows of dome-head rivets, and each wing has a round porthole opening that lets light and sightlines pass through the end of the booth.
Inside, the seating is soft and plain on purpose: an oatmeal textured fabric on the back and seat, finished with a thin mustard piping that picks up the warm tones in the patina. The seat cushion sits on a deep box, and the whole piece stands on a recessed plinth with levelling feet so the cladding never touches a wet floor.
Construction. A hardwood and plywood frame carries the upholstery; the steel skin is fixed over it as a separate layer, so a dented panel can be replaced without re-upholstering. The patina is a sealed finish, not raw steel, so it won't rub off on coats.
Where it works. Production-floor taprooms, brewpubs with exposed tanks and industrial conversions where a plain upholstered booth would disappear.
Length, back height, porthole position, patina tone and fabric are made to order, and runs can be built single- or double-sided.
