subject: How The Chiavari Chair Can Save The Day [print this page] We all know how important first impressions can be. As your guests and clients enter the banquet room for the first time, you must expect them to pause and whisper a collective "wow," as it is only then that you know that you have succeeded. This is where the 'rubber hits the road.' We all know that the food quality and standard of menu must be really high, together with the way that the food is presented, the overall style and presentation, but remember that the ambience and decor of the room are the important elements that help with that first impression.
How can the venue owner be sure that the client and all the guests are going to be suitably impressed with the presentation of the room or event? While it is certainly true to say that you cannot please all the people all the time and different styles of party may well attract guests with a variety of discerning tastes, you have to be able to compromise yet still maintain the highest levels. The selection of furniture is paramount, especially when it comes to the chairs, as the guests interact and expect high levels of both comfort and presentation.
Many discerning venue owners opt for the chiavari chair, which has an outstanding reputation for style, durability and function. The chair was said to originate in the town of the same name in Italy, which as we all know represents the home of fine styling anyway. These chairs are said to be related to the Campanino model.
While it is important to select furniture that will store away relatively easily and which can also be transported from storage area to venue without too much backbreaking work, style and comfort are still the most important considerations. Any favourable impression that you guests may have upon first witnessing your venue room layout may well fade away if the chairs that they are sitting on are uncomfortable. This is not the case with the chiavari chair, which is able to combine comfort and elegance in equal measure. Furthermore, as these chairs are regularly constructed from a solid beech wood they are designed to last, be resistant and represent definite value for money for the discerning venue owner.
Striking a fine balance between cost, aesthetic appeal and durability is often difficult for the venue owner. While the choice of banquet tables does not present so many problems, as these are of course covered by appropriate linens and other tableware, the choice of banquet chairs is critical. If storage space is not necessarily a problem and budgets allow, different styles of banquet chair can be selected for and presented to different groups. One of the most spectacular options where such a choice is possible is the ice chair, which has to be seen to be appreciated and is sure to become a talking point among guests right from the start.
For an all purpose choice, suitable for the ballroom or an outdoor banquet and for any style or demographic group, the chiavari chair takes a lot of beating. They can appeal to and cater for groups of all types from the most intimate to the most exuberant to the most elegant.
