Best Commercial Grade Tables for Indoor and Outdoor Use
May 6, 2021As people resume business and leisure travel, designers for the hospitality and healthcare industries will need to focus on creating open space layouts that welcome small gatherings yet convey “control” and safety.

Tabletops that offer function and style are the key to creating these adaptive spaces that encourage gatherings yet accommodate new expectations around physical distancing, cleanliness, and safety.

Beaufurn Looks Back at This Year’s New Furniture Designs
December 15, 2020The design industry faced a challenging year, but not one without optimism and certainly not one lacking in great commercial furniture offerings. In retrospect, the new furniture products in Beaufurn’s 2020 lineup fit perfectly with key trends in the furniture industry, including designs that are eco-friendly, flexible, playful, and bold.
Of course, sustainability has always been part of our design process, and one we will continue to embrace in the future. We incorporate sustainable practices company-wide and utilize eco-friendly materials in the production of our products.
With the year ending, we are offering a retrospective on the new furniture products Beaufurn created in 2020 that were not just trendy, but beautiful and classic products that appeal to numerous audiences. Italian, French, and Belgian influence is evident in our clean lines, novel shapes, and varied color palate.
From our side chairs and barstool to our lounge chairs, our new furniture in 2020 will likely continue in popularity for years to come.
Virtual Tours: Design Trade Shows Re-imagine Hospitality
December 4, 2020Every year, we look forward to attending HD Expo in Las Vegas, then Neocon in Chicago, and BDNY in New York. There are other shows, of course, but these are typically the big hospitality showcases in which Beaufurn participates.
This year, however, was a year of not-so-typical trade shows and exhibits. So, we adjusted, pivoted, and reimagined how to showcase our hospitality furniture to thousands of “visitors” unable to physically visit these expos.
The design industry has had to reimagine how it showcases its products and creative services while in quarantine. The “new normal” is now design revealed through webinars, virtual tours, digital showcases, and online conferences.
College Furniture Solutions for 21st Century Challenges
July 8, 2020While most discussion around students returning to college campuses centers around online learning versus in-class instruction, there is also concern regarding how to keep students safe on campus in general — in college lounge areas, cafeterias, and dormitories.
College and institutions of higher learning will rely on federal and state guidelines to determine best practices for public health, they will need designers to help them change shared spaces and common areas to focus on less dense use.
