Custom Benches

my thoughts
Orleans,
The design you show is acceptable in style, but it appears to be a maintenance nightmare (between the slats) in a restaurant.
Whatever the final decision is, I believe that ease of cleaning should be a priority.
Good luck, and I hope you get the job and make a profit.

That's an original
and interesting form -- but not for a comfortable seating piece, perhaps. The sharp projecting edges along part of the front would impact sitters' legs in an unfortunate way -- wouldn't they ?
Are the "slats" close enough together to avoid pinching ? I like this design -- but slats running the other way are usually more comfortable. Of course, some retailers and restaurateurs wish to keep people moving, as I understand it . . .
It's fun to create on the computer. It's easy to forget that one is proposing a functional object for the real world. I don't think anyone who makes furniture for a living would propose that final little stick at the floor to the left -- even though it does complete the desired gesture. That piece would perish in the first few months, either to the public's feet or to the cleaner's vacuum -- I believe.
"Easy to construct" is definitely a plus, assuming that a budget is involved. Unless you are the maker as well as the designer, it might be good to consult with your intended fabricator to get his or her input -- based on the available equipment and skills -- before proposing your design, and a price, to your client.
All that said, best wishes for this project -- and do let us know how it goes. This would be a valuable case study for others to benefit by. Thanks for bringing it in . . .
