Trade program / COM-COL seating
Banquettes, booths and chairs made to your dimensions and your fabric, with shop drawings, COM yardage and finish codes ready for your FF&E schedule.
Spec Seating (a line by EASEN Commercial Furniture) is a trade program for architects, interior designers and FF&E specifiers who need custom hospitality seating. We build banquettes, booths and upholstered chairs to order in our own production base in Lecong, Foshan, China, working from dimensioned shop drawings, your COM/COL materials and your finish schedule, and ship factory-direct by sea.
Wall banquettes are fixed upholstered benches built against a wall, specified by linear length, seat height, seat depth and back profile; this collection covers straight-run types and matching upholstered wall panels.

Site-specific banquettes are engineered to an existing condition - a curved wall, a column, a raked ceiling, a stepped floor, a radiator or a service riser - and are drawn from a site survey rather than adapted from a catalog size.

Booths and enclosures are seating units that define their own space - U-booths, paired two-tops, back-to-back booths, round islands and canopy booths - specified by seating count, footprint and clearances rather than by wall length.

COM/COL chairs are dining and lounge chairs supplied without a fixed cover so the designer can specify the fabric or leather; this collection is drawn to sit with our banquettes as one family.

Every custom item starts as a dimensioned shop drawing: plan, elevation, section, seam and welt locations, base detail, wall fixing and finish codes keyed to your schedule. Nothing is cut until you return the drawing marked approved or approved as noted, so the field never discovers a dimension for the first time.
We issue COM and COL quantities per item, calculated from the actual cut plan at 54 in (137 cm) usable width, with railroaded and up-the-bolt figures and your pattern repeat. You order fabric once, sidemarked to the line item, and it arrives at the factory matched to a cutting list.
Curved walls, structural columns, raked ceilings, stepped floors, radiators under the sill, access panels for services: the conditions that defeat catalog seating are where a drawings-first factory earns its place. We engineer the frame to the survey, not the survey to the frame.
A high-back wall banquette with twelve vertical channels per standard section and a continuous metal top trim that caps every channel in one line.
A 39 in (100 cm) wall banquette with a 45-degree diamond-quilted back, metal button at each intersection and a plain, unquilted seat.
A straight banquette terminated by upholstered arm posts at both ends, giving a run that stops at an aisle a finished, protected end.
A banquette with six half-round upholstered lobes forming a scalloped back, outlined by a slim metal trim that follows every curve.
A backless upholstered bench for window lines, with five loose cylindrical bolsters and a horizontally channelled front face.
A wall banquette with a lift-up seat and storage box below, fronted by horizontal upholstered channels and a recessed metal pull.
An upholstered wall panel system in vertical channel, diamond-quilt or horizontal-roll faces, with wood cap, base and optional coat hooks, matched to our banquette backs.
A long-wall banquette built in sections that install as one continuous piece: a single uninterrupted top trim, vertical seams at equal spacing and a base whose grain carries across joints.
Send plans, elevations, the FF&E schedule and any reference images. We confirm scope item by item and flag dimensions or conditions that need a site measure.
We return dimensioned shop drawings with construction notes, finish codes and COM/COL yardage per item. You mark up, we revise, you approve.
COM/COL is shipped to the factory with sidemarks, or we source contract materials on request. Finish strike-offs and a pre-production sample are available before the run.
Frames, foam and upholstery are built in our Lecong production base to the approved drawing. Items are checked against drawing dimensions and finish codes before packing.
Each item is export-packed and labelled with your item number and location. We quote FOB, CIF or DDP; your installer receives the drawings and fixing details.
What to check on custom banquette shop drawings before approval: dimensions, seat geometry, joints, fixing, services, COM, finish codes and access route.
A step-by-step method for calculating COM fabric and COL leather for banquettes and chairs: 54 in widths, railroaded vs up-the-bolt, repeats, worked tables.
How to read contract upholstery performance specs: Wyzenbeek double rubs, Martindale cycles, ACT guidelines, CAL TB 117-2013, BS 5852 and EN 1021, cleaning codes.
COM means customer's own material and COL means customer's own leather. The specifier selects a fabric or hide from any mill, the purchaser buys it and ships it to the manufacturer, and the manufacturer upholsters the item with it. Spec Seating (a line by EASEN Commercial Furniture) accepts COM and COL on all upholstered items and publishes the yardage or square footage required per item on the shop drawing.
As a planning figure, a plain-fabric wall banquette with upholstered seat and back uses roughly 0.7 yd of 54 in fabric per linear foot when railroaded, before welt and overage. Patterned fabric, up-the-bolt direction, channel or quilted backs and upholstered end panels all increase the figure. We calculate the exact quantity from the cut plan for each item and state it on the shop drawing.
COM and COL ship to our production base in Lecong, Foshan, China. Each roll or hide should carry a sidemark with project name, our order number, line item and quantity. We confirm receipt, inspect for flaws and shading against the approved cutting, and report any shortfall before cutting begins. We can also source contract fabric on request to avoid an international material shipment.
Yes. Every custom item gets a dimensioned shop drawing showing plan, elevation and section, seam and welt locations, section breaks, base and fixing details, finish codes and COM/COL quantity. Production starts only after you return the drawing approved or approved as noted. Revisions are tracked on the drawing so the approved version is unambiguous.
Yes. We offer finish strike-offs (wood stain, metal finish, welt and stitch details) and a pre-production sample of a chair or banquette section on request. The sample is built with the approved construction and, where available, the actual COM, so it can be signed off as the reference standard for the order.
Lead times are typically 30-45 days for standard designs and 45-60 days for custom work, counted from drawing and sample approval and COM arrival, plus ocean transit. Each quote states the confirmed lead time for that order. Allow additional time in the schedule for drawing rounds and for COM to reach the factory.
