Flexible, adaptable and cost-effective solutions with this trend that enhances customer experience and optimises space.

Achieving an unforgettable customer experience is one of the main objectives of any hospitality business. Beyond the quality of the product or service offered, there are other factors, such as the environment or the spaces that are created, which contribute to repeat visits to an establishment. Therefore, especially in the hospitality sector, efficiency and aesthetics converge to achieve an important differentiation from the rest and, if there is an element that benefits the business by unifying both characteristics, it is undoubtedly modular furniture.

Functionality at the service of the customer

A clear example of this flexibility is modular sofas. This furniture allows an area to be transformed into a more private space for small groups or, conversely, into a large, open area for social events. In addition, extendable or sectional tables are also an efficient solution for venues with a high turnover of customers. A table for two can be converted into a space for eight people without sacrificing aesthetics or functionality.

Thus, the ability to transform confirms that modular furniture is not only ideal for improving the layout of a space, but also for creating a variety of atmospheres.

Customised design and timeless aesthetics
 

Furniture is not only functional, but also forms part of the branding and experience that establishments offer their customers. Businesses in the hospitality sector seek to differentiate themselves, and modular furniture allows for a high degree of customisation that fits the identity of each brand.

Materials, colours and finishes can be selected to reflect the personality of the establishment, whether it is a minimalist café or an upscale restaurant. In addition, many of these furnishings feature a timeless design that ensures they can remain attractive over time. A particularly valuable factor in the hospitality industry where space is frequently renewed and the durability of the furniture is essential.

On the other hand, the ability to add or remove modules according to the needs of the business means that aesthetic updates do not require major refurbishment. If the space is in need of renovation, changing a few modular elements is enough to give a new look to a space without a significant investment in refurbishment.

Exhibitors at the first edition of Guext, held from 18 to 21 October, will offer professionals an excellent opportunity to discover these and other trends in the sector. The fair, organised by IFEMA MADRID in collaboration with FELAC (Spanish Federation of Associations of Manufacturers of Machinery for the Hospitality, Collectivities and Related Industries), brings together a complete range of suppliers and services, all related to the Hospitality industry and connected to the distribution and customer network.
