For Mio Oh Mio, the brief centered on adaptability. The dining room was designed to host everything from quiet dinners to private events, requiring seating that could be rearranged without visual compromise. QA Group fabricated a series of fully upholstered, modular banquette components, including curved and straight units, all finished on every exposed surface. Waterfall backs with vertical channeling continue cleanly across each piece, allowing layouts to shift while maintaining a cohesive look. The freestanding construction gives the restaurant long-term flexibility without sacrificing stability or comfort.

At Un Po Tipsy, the focus shifted to durability and function. A wrap-around banquette anchors the pizza bar and defines the heart of the space. Built in multiple sections, the banquette features horizontal bolster channeling, a fully upholstered top cap, and finished endcaps with self-welt detailing. Integrated seat storage was engineered into the design, a feature rarely incorporated into commercial banquettes due to complexity! QA Group developed a concealed hinged system with internal dividers, reinforced plywood construction, and custom foam profiles to preserve seating comfort while adding valuable operational storage. 

Lowlander Brewing introduced a completely different challenge. As one of the country’s early tank bars, the brewing tanks are on display and the bar itself needed to be both visually bold and easily serviceable. QA Group produced a system of individually upholstered bolster panels that wrap the tank bar, each mounted to a removable substrate. The panels attach with Velcro, allowing individual removal for maintenance without disrupting the surrounding structure. Vertical bolster channeling gave the bar a strong architectural rhythm while supporting real-world brewery operations.
