Nanoo nan01 table for sidewalk drinking and dining November 8
For commercial dining al fresco, bar and restaurant furniture like outdoor bistro tables are essential. One example of such a restaurant table that is suited to outdoor applications is the Nanoo nan01, from nanoo by faserplast. This small table has a top that can be folded and detached, making it easy to store away after a restaurant’s closing hours.
Several options are available for this table’s base: stainless steel, steel that has been galvanically zinc-plated, and hot dip galvanized steel. The tabletop comes in several colours and two shapes: round and square, and are available in two sizes. The table’s height is the same, though, for both the square and round versions: 74 centimetres.
Observations have been made about how sidewalks in major cities all over the world have added “eating-drinking locale” to their original job description and function, which of course is being the part of the street where pedestrians walk. Increasingly, though, much of that space is being occupied by eateries’ tables and chairs. Maybe this is because restaurateurs and bistro and bar owners try to catch more walk-in traffic by making their establishments look easier to access, and what better way to do that than to set tables and chairs out where potential patrons can see and use them? Besides, it would be easier and far cheaper for the owners of these establishments to buy and set up outdoor bar furniture and the like on the sidewalk than to expand their interiors or build new rooms inside their premises to accommodate more customers.
Of course, high-traffic areas like sidewalks require tables and other outdoor furniture made from materials that can withstand unregulated temperature (although a number of establishments have installed gas heaters in their outdoor sections). Plus, it would be better if these tables were easy to clean, maintain, and store away. It seems to me that the Nanoo nan01 table fits the bill.
