Sensational Statement

The last decade has witnessed an array of wedding trends, with the ever-changing landscape evolving drastically over time. Trends have surpassed the classic, all-white bridal features, with a substantial focus now shifting towards the architectural interior and design elements engulfing a room.

As this vast and varying landscape continues to change, there exists a requirement for wedding essentials, such as chairs, to also adapt and develop alongside these dynamic trends.

Wedding chairs have the power to seize the moment; inexcusably demanding a significant presence within any room. In virtue of this, choosing the correct chair ultimately determines the overall theme of the wedding in more ways than one. With a long-standing history of leading the hospitality sector through multiple decades of innovation, Bunzl McLaughlin has created the Compose Chair Collection, enabling the encompassing industry to become immersed in the importance of wedding chairs, allowing the sector to intrinsically implement such an adorned statement.

The name Compose was born out of a concept to create. Bunzl McLaughlin has introduced this innate offering to provide the industry with the momentum required to waltz alongside the wilful movements of the wedding arena.

Wedding chairs are often the subject of consistent reinvention and have taken many forms over the years. The Chiavari Chair is a perfect example. The origins of this chair date back to more than 200 years and originated in the town of Chiavari in the Genoa region of Northern Italy. Although the style has moulded over time to align with capricious trends, a distinct likeness to the original still exists.

However, as the style of wedding chairs alter over time and certain characteristics become clutched as the contemporary new trend, other factors aside from visual aesthetics need to be considered. The Chiavari Chair in particular has attracted criticism due to the level of comfort it offers. The wooden frame lacks a substantial degree of durability, detracting from the desired and practical feature of stackability.

Pertaining to this, the Compose Chair Collection has created a bespoke solution, maximising the potential of this chair.

Attributed as one of the most significant adaptions within the marketplace in the last decade, Bunzl McLaughlin has reinvented the Chiavari Chair, replacing the wooden frame with a lightweight aluminium frame, uniting an unprecedented wood-effect finish to mirror its wooden counterpart.

In addition, the enduring new frame enables venues to stack and store the chairs in a much more efficient manner, while customisable seat pads endeavour to solve an abundance of comfort concerns.

With the classic Chiavari reborn, this time with an innovative slant to accommodate its audience, Compose has succeeded in creating a flourishing range of wedding chairs, each encouraging bespoke alteration.

Hosting a collection of four pivotal chairs to choose from, over 100 fabric and leatherette options, amassed with 14 exclusive frame colours and the choice of a wood-effect finish on a robust aluminium frame, Compose has revealed a tailor-made solution, enabling any establishment to create a breath-taking centrepiece, effortlessly tying together the theme of the day.

The modern wedding has become less about tradition and more about achieving a tailored look that amplifies an illustrious identity. The year ahead will see an unrivalled level of maturity making its debut, where couples are already well-versed in regard to their own taste.

Creating a venue that immediately captivates and converts the audience is of upmost priority. Composing the perfect wedding chair, will not only heighten the instantaneous level of eternal guest appreciation, it has the ability to place any venue to the very top of a capacious bridal checklist.
