03 — Furniture, fixtures & equipment

FF&E — the experience, room by room

Furniture, fixtures and equipment for guest rooms, lobby, restaurant and outdoor — with flooring, soft furnishings and wall panelling supplied and fitted as one package.

Made, not just supplied

Emporia specifies and supplies the fixed and loose elements of a property together, so furniture, flooring and soft finishes are resolved against one drawing set rather than three separate orders.

Because Emporia manufactures under its own brands — including an in-house UAE linen factory — a soft specification can be sampled, adjusted and re-run without changing supplier. Fixed elements are drawn to the room plan and built to the finish schedule.

Furniture, fixtures & equipment

Drawn to the room plan and built to the finish schedule.

Guest-room furniture

The complete room — bed and headboard, case goods, desk, seating and the bench at the foot. Drawn to the room plan and built to the finish schedule.

Bed bases, headboards and bed-end benches · Case goods — wardrobe, minibar, bedside and console · Desks, desk chairs and occasional seating · Mirrors, luggage benches and room accessories

Lobby furniture

Lobby furniture takes more use than almost anything else in a hotel. Sofas, lounge chairs, ottomans and the tables that go with them, built to stay in shape under constant use and in materials that clean up well and last.

Sofas, lounge chairs and modular seating · Coffee, side and console tables · Reception and concierge desks · Screens, planters and occasional pieces

Restaurant furniture

Restaurant furniture has to stand up to constant turnover — banquettes, dining chairs, bar and counter stools, and table bases, specified to suit how the room runs and to last through daily service.

Banquettes and booth seating · Dining chairs, bar and counter stools · Table tops and bases, indoor and terrace · Buffet, station and back-of-house units

Outdoor furniture

Terrace, pool and garden. Frames, weaves and textiles are chosen for the coastal and Gulf climates these properties actually sit in.

Lounge seating, daybeds and canopied beds · Sun loungers and side tables · Terrace dining tables and chairs · Parasols, cushions and outdoor textiles

Flooring

Parquet, stone and carpet, supplied and laid as one package so thresholds, levels and transitions are resolved before anything reaches site.

Engineered and Swiss parquet, herringbone and plank · Marble, stone and porcelain · Guest-room, corridor and ballroom carpet · Thresholds, trims and skirting

Headboards and wall panels

Upholstered and panelled surfaces — the part of a room that carries its detail. Made to the joinery drawing and fitted to the wall as found.

Upholstered headboards, channelled and buttoned · Fabric-wrapped and acoustic wall panels · Leather panels, quilted and plain · Trims, beading and brass detailing

Soft furnishings

Sampled, adjusted, re-run — without changing supplier

Drapery, sheers, bedding and cushions. Emporia’s own UAE linen factory means a soft specification can be sampled, adjusted and re-run without changing supplier.

Curtains, sheers, blackout linings and tracks · Bed runners, throws and scatter cushions · Loose covers and upholstery fabric · Table linen for restaurant and banqueting
