Custom Booths: The Secret Weapon for Comfortable, Space-Saving Design
Custom banquettes and lounge seating built for community living in Columbus, Ohio
In hospitality, higher education, healthcare, and retail design, seating has to do more than look good—it needs to work hard. That’s why banquettes are a favorite among interior designers, architects, and project managers. They help define space, optimize layouts, and create an inviting experience for guests and customers alike.
At Fortner, we specialize in custom seating solutions for commercial spaces of all types. Whether you're designing something from the ground up or need a semi-custom solution with faster turnaround, our team is here to help.
Custom-Built or Customizable—You Choose
We offer two paths for creating the perfect piece:
1. Fully Custom Banquettes
From radius corners and layered backs to specialty materials and unique dimensions, we build banquettes completely from scratch. Every detail—from field measurements to foam selection—is tailored to your vision and your space.
2. Customizable Booths from the Fortner Furniture Collection
For faster projects or more standardized needs, the Fortner Furniture Collection features thoughtfully designed booth profiles like the Gavin, Emma, and Penelope. These designs can be customized with:
Standard or custom lengths
Upholstery, laminate, and kickplate options
Built-in power or mobility features
It’s a streamlined approach that still gives you creative control—without starting from zero.
Why Designers and Builders Love Booths
Here’s why booths continue to be one of the most requested seating types in commercial design:
Efficient Use of Space: Booths hug walls and corners, opening up valuable floor space for movement or additional seating.
Built for Flow: Their fixed placement helps establish natural walkways and define zones within open spaces.
Versatile Design Options: From curved, modular forms to channel-back details, banquettes can be tailored to match any brand or design aesthetic.
Comfort That Lasts: When made with contract-grade foam, durable substrates, and performance fabrics, they’re just as functional as they are beautiful.
Why Custom Matters
Off-the-shelf seating may be fast—but custom is what truly delivers on both design and performance. At Fortner, every banquette we build is made-to-order based on:
Exact dimensions of the space (field measured by our team)
Fabric and material selections chosen by the design partner
Code requirements for fire, accessibility, and durability
