When the word "kopitiam" is mentioned, people are instantly reminded of the coffee-fragrant smell and its aromatic cooked-meals that never fails to evoke an appetite in us.
However, what sort of a mental image would we imagine when it comes to these delicacy-filled places? Of course, it'd be something that often features marble-topped tables and wooden chairs, reminiscent a time of the colonial era. As we carry a theme that blends together the influences of the Chinese, Malay and Indian, it is important that restaurateurs and interior designs bring a cohesiveness of the idea home.
Therefore, here are some Restaurant Furnitures for Your Kopitiam-themed Restaurants:
1. A Classic Ipoh Marble Dining Table with Classic Wooden Half-Curved Backrest Chairs

In every classic Kopitiam restaurant, there is always the Ipoh marble dining tables and your next-door classic wooden chairs. Staying true to how things typically were, it brings out the traditional essence that customers are able to travel back to.
2. A Wall Mounted Bar Table paired with Stool Chairs

If you look into the traditional blueprint of how Kopitiams are normally like, there is always an addition of wall-mounted bar tables that is coupled with stool chairs. This rekindles back the nostalgic feeling that dates back to the late 19th and early 20th century.

Including wooden furnitures into your Kopitiam restaurant is an absolute delight. Most of the time, the tiles that are fixed into these restaurants have vintage patterns, and nothing screams historical resonance than adding wooden furnitures.
4. Classic Wood Benches with Upholstered Backs

What is great about featuring a classic wooden bench of this sort is that it ties to a time when old homes, train stations and cafes would use it, which makes it a vintage statement. With it washed-out yellow color hue, it adds up so well with the entire traditional aesthetic.

Choosing to use industrial chairs with bold colours is actually suitable because looking back into the usual distinctive decorations and displays of ceramic vases, tiles and traditional wares Kopitiams usually have, there is always that pop of colour with it. Adding a couple would not hurt, especially since it plays on earthy tones.
6. A Round Retro Backrest and Cushioned Seat Chair with Metal Frame paired with a Vintage Square Table

This plays on a lot of retro vintage. For restaurateurs and interior designers that are looking to up the ante, consider this ideal set up. You can still maintain the Kopitiam-theme to it as it is still part of the "vintage" playing field. But what sets it apart would be this more refined and modernize version of a Kopitiam.
