Saint Objets makes banquette seating to order in Dubai, drawn to the room's proportions and upholstered in a fabric chosen for the way you live, then crafted in the Emirates.
Drawn to your room.
A banquette seating is decided in proportion first. We set the length, depth and seat height to the room and the way it is used, so the piece holds the space rather than filling it.
Fabric and finish.
Upholstery is selected from curated European collections, including French and Belgian mills, chosen for texture, colour depth and suitability for the project.

Built in seating buys back a room.
A banquette seats more people in less floor than chairs, because it removes the pull out space every chair needs behind it. In a Dubai apartment where the dining area is a corner of the living room rather than a separate room, that difference is often what makes a table fit at all. The numbers that matter are seat height at 45 to 47 centimetres to work with a standard table, depth at 45 to 50 so the back is usable, and a base that lets a robot vacuum pass or gives you storage instead.
For restaurants and cafés, see banquettes for restaurant interiors.
Questions.
What height should a banquette be?
Around 45 to 47 centimetres to sit correctly at a 75 centimetre table.
Can it include storage?
Yes, under the seat with a lift top or a drawer. It is decided at drawing stage.
Does it have to be built in?
No. A freestanding banquette moves with you, which matters in a rented apartment.
A banquette is defined by what it saves.
A banquette is built in seating defined by length, height and back angle. It seats more people in less floor than chairs, because it removes the space every chair needs behind it. Saint Objets draws banquettes in Paris and builds them in the Emirates, bespoke, custom made and made to order.
In a restaurant, a hotel lounge or a dining room, the banquette sets the rhythm of the space and is drawn to the plan, wall by wall.
Specified for use.
A banquette in a public room needs a stronger specification: a frame built for daily use, foam that recovers after hours of occupancy, a fabric chosen for how it is cleaned. The studio sets these with you for each venue.
For a home, the same banquette is drawn for comfort and proportion, in a European fabric chosen for the room.
More questions.
Can a banquette be made to my plan?
Yes. Length, depth, height and back angle are drawn to your plan and made to order.
Do you make banquettes for restaurants and hotels?
Yes. The studio makes banquettes for hospitality projects, specified for the use of each venue.
Can the fabric be chosen for cleaning?
Yes. Fabrics are selected with the use and the cleaning routine of the room in mind.
How long does it take?
Ten to thirty days, according to the scale of the project, the number of pieces and the availability of the chosen fabric.
