Contract Furnishings
The contract sector demands furnishing solutions that combine distinctive design, resistance to intensive use, and reliable delivery timelines. Formal is a specialized partner in third-party manufacturing of metal furnishings for hotels, restaurants, bars, offices, commercial spaces, and hospitality facilities, offering complete service from design through final delivery.
Experience in Hospitality and Commercial Sectors
Our three decades of experience in metalworking have led us to collaborate with architects, interior designers, hotel chains, and furniture companies operating in the contract market. We understand the specific needs of this sector: furnishings that must maintain their aesthetic appeal over time, withstand continuous use, respect defined budgets, and be delivered according to precise timelines.
We manufacture metal furnishings for every contract environment: from hotel lobbies to common areas, from restaurant dining rooms to lounge spaces, from executive offices to retail environments. Each project is approached with the awareness that contract furnishings represent a significant investment and must guarantee excellent performance for many years.
Customized Solutions
Standard solutions rarely exist in the contract sector. Each project has its own specificities, its design concept, its functional requirements. Formal offers custom manufacturing that interprets designers’ visions and translates them into high-quality, tangible furnishings.
We produce metal chairs and tables for restaurants and conference rooms, stools for bars and reception areas, furnishing complements such as consoles, mirrors with metal frames, coat stands, service carts, decorative elements, and architectural structures. Each element can be customized in dimensions, finishes, and details to perfectly match the project requirements.
From Consulting to Manufacturing
Our approach begins with design consulting. We analyze technical drawings, evaluate feasibility, suggest materials and manufacturing processes that optimize the quality-price ratio without compromising the aesthetic vision. Our experience allows us to anticipate challenges and propose technical solutions that facilitate production while maintaining design integrity.
The prototyping phase is fundamental for contract projects. We create prototypes that allow verification of ergonomics, strength, finishes, and assembly before launching production runs of hundreds or thousands of pieces. This process reduces risks and ensures that series production meets agreed quality standards.
Materials and Finishes for Intensive Use
Contract furnishings must withstand much more intensive use compared to residential furniture. We use certified quality steel, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys, with thicknesses and treatments designed to guarantee robustness and durability. Structures are engineered considering real-world usage loads and safety requirements.
Surface finishes are selected to resist daily wear while maintaining their aesthetic appearance over time. We offer powder coating with high-quality enamels, chrome plating, satin finishes, polishing, and special anti-scratch treatments. Each finish is tested for resistance to abrasion, chemical cleaning agents, and mechanical stress typical of contract environments.
Series Production with High Standards
The ability to manage series production while maintaining high quality standards is one of our strengths. Whether it’s 50 chairs for a boutique restaurant or 500 furnishing complements for a hotel chain, each piece receives the same attention to detail.
Our mechanical operations are executed with CNC machinery that guarantees precision and repeatability. This means that every element in a series is identical to the others in dimensions, manufacturing quality, and finishes. Welding is performed by specialized personnel following standardized procedures that ensure robustness and aesthetic uniformity.
Rigorous Quality Control
In the contract sector, there is no room for compromise on quality. Every piece produced undergoes rigorous quality control that verifies compliance with technical specifications. We inspect dimensions, welding quality, finish uniformity, structural stability, and functionality of every component.
Before packaging, furnishings are assembled and inspected to ensure they meet agreed standards. This attention translates into defect-free deliveries, reducing returns and installation problems—crucial aspects when opening deadlines for hotels, restaurants, or commercial spaces are binding.
Logistics and Scheduled Deliveries
Logistics management is fundamental in contract projects, where delays can cause significant problems. Formal offers flexibility in deliveries, coordinating with construction schedules and project manager requirements.
We maintain warehouses for storing progressive production runs, enabling staggered deliveries that synchronize with work progress. Our transport vehicles guarantee punctuality in deliveries, both for large supplies and subsequent integrations. We also manage packaging with particular care, adequately protecting each piece to avoid damage during transport and on-site storage.
After-Sales Support
Our support doesn’t end with delivery. We offer after-sales assistance for any additions, spare parts, or extraordinary maintenance. We preserve technical data and specifications for each project, allowing us to replicate elements even after considerable time for expansions or replacements.
This continuity is particularly valued by hotel chains and companies managing multiple facilities, who can count on a partner capable of guaranteeing aesthetic and quality consistency over time.
Strategic Partnership for Contract
For companies operating in the contract sector, Formal represents more than a simple third-party manufacturer. We are a strategic partner who understands market dynamics, respects timelines, guarantees quality, and offers the flexibility necessary to manage complex projects.
Our reliability allows our partners to focus on design, sales, and relationships with end clients, delegating production to us with the certainty of receiving furnishings that perfectly represent their brand and satisfy the highest expectations. Collaborating with Formal means having an ally who shares the goal of realizing excellent contract projects.
