The SB-169 is built like furniture you could take apart with a mallet. Two thick walnut slabs form the ends; a stretcher passes through each slab and is locked with a visible tenon, so the joinery reads on the outside face. Between them sits a dark leather seat cushion on a timber box, and a tall upholstered back in charcoal bouclé. Units are placed face to face across a walnut table on a black round pedestal, or back to back down the middle of a room.
Construction. Solid or laminated hardwood end slabs in walnut finish, through-tenon stretchers, ply seat box with HR foam; back panel upholstered separately and bolted to the frame so it can be re-covered off site. Leather or COL seat, bouclé or COM back.
Specifying it. Confirm slab thickness and tenon projection on the drawing, as both affect aisle clearance at booth ends. Bouclé needs a cut plan that keeps the loop direction consistent across sections; we state COM per unit.
Where it works. Japanese and modern Asian restaurants, steakhouses, wine bars and fine-dining rooms with dark, low-lit interiors where the timber end grain carries the design.
