Client is Casa
Nestled in the heart of Napier’s bustling Ahuriri hospitality precinct, Casa isn’t just another restaurant—it’s a beautifully curated space where food, comfort, and connection come together. The name Casa means "home," and that sentiment flows through every part of the dining experience, from the heartfelt Italian menu to the full seats gathered around handcrafted tables.
Behind the scenes of this inviting space is a carefully considered design, brought to life with our expertly crafted restaurant furniture. At Casa, our dining chairs, bar stools, and restaurant tables play a starring role—bringing together style, durability, and comfort in equal measure.
An interior inspired by home, heritage and hospitality.
Casa’s interior blends modern rustic aesthetics with Italian-inspired nostalgia. It’s warm, stylish, and layered with thoughtful detail.
The colour palette sets the tone. Rich timber tones echo throughout the space—from the bar cladding to solid oak table tops—while deep olive green and tan upholstery on the seating provides texture and comfort. Matte black steel frames and exposed structural beams ground the look in subtle industrial charm.
Soft amber pendant lighting and backlit shelving give the space a golden glow—creating an ambience that feels inviting from afternoon aperitivo through to evening dinner service.
Furniture that feels right at home.
To complement Casa’s design language, we supplied a range of furniture solutions that offer versatility and aesthetic cohesion:
- The Barry Bar Stool and matching dining chairs feature ribbed upholstery in a mix of rich green and tan tones—evoking retro comfort with a refined edge. Powder-coated frames offer durability while maintaining a lightweight, minimalist silhouette.
- Solid oak café tables are paired with our robust Rita cast iron bases—a pairing that anchors the natural materials theme while standing up to daily use.
- A mix of bar tables and low dining tables to suit different zones within the space. The leaners create a more casual, social setting near the bar, while the standard-height tables support a slower, more intimate dining experience.
This layered approach to dining styles allows Casa to flow effortlessly—from lively bar drinks to seated meals—and makes the best use of their open-plan layout.
Design that enhances the experience.
The design at Casa isn’t just beautiful—it’s smart.
Strategically placed café tables and a mix of seating heights help define different moments within the venue. Large groups can gather comfortably, while smaller parties can tuck into corners under gallery walls lined with Italian imagery and culinary artwork.
A feature wall mural that mimics an aged Venetian archway adds character and authenticity, tying in beautifully with the olive-toned seating and artisanal table settings. This interior not only looks stunning—it encourages people to stay, engage, and return.
Why furniture matters.
What makes this space so successful is how every element supports the customer experience. The textures invite touch. The colours invite calm. And the seating? It invites you to stay awhile.
By combining stylish design with practical durability, our restaurant furniture helps businesses like Casa create spaces that are beautiful, comfortable, and ready to perform—day in and day out.
So next time you're in Napier, pull up a stool, share a bottle of wine, and experience the beauty of connection—Casa style.
