Russian furniture for HoReCa

A meeting on the expansion of domestic furniture supplies to the HoReCa sector took place within the conference programme of Mebel 2024. The event was organised by the Association of Furniture and Woodworking Enterprises of Russia.

The meeting was attended by the heads of leading furniture enterprises, as well as representatives of relevant associations. The meeting was moderated by Vadim Prasov, Vice President for the hospitality business at the Federation of Restauranteurs and Hoteliers of Russia. 

HoReCa furniture faces a serious problem, which is much more intensive use than in the case of traditional household furniture. Therefore, it should be much more durable and made of stronger materials. These are dense plastic, chrome-plated metal, natural wood, and high-quality textiles. Specialised furniture should be easy to maintain and as safe as possible. At the same time, the furniture should not be bulky and heavy.

At the meeting, leading experts, including representatives of different hotels and inns, discussed opportunities to increase volumes and expand the range of Russian-made furniture supplies to hotels, restaurants and cafes.

Reports were made by Olga Guzhauskayte, founder and CEO at the ART Mebel Hotel and Future Hotel Design, Karine Shmareva, Managing Partner at Intermark Residence, Yana Simonova, Operations Director at Atelika Hotel Group, and other speakers.
