Upholstered Booths: Each Table is a Small Room

A set of enclosed seats. The backrests of the banquettes are 1.2 to 1.4 meters high, exceeding the heads of seated people; the surface is dark, soft upholstered leather or thick woven fabric, with fine vertical dividing lines. Two sets of banquettes are separated by screens of the same height, so that once seated, one cannot see or hear much from the next table. The tables are small, dark wood or stone, with a low wall lamp or a candle on the side against the wall. Avoid: making the banquette backrests shorter than a person, having no shielding between adjacent banquettes, using hard wooden back chairs, making the tables too large so people sit too far apart.

一組被包起來的座位。卡座的靠背做到一米二到一米四高,超過坐著的人的頭頂;表面是深色的軟包皮革或厚織布,有細的垂直分割線。兩組卡座之間以同樣高度的隔屏分開,因此坐下之後看不到隔壁,也聽不太到。桌子是小的深色木或石,靠牆的一側有一盞矮的壁燈或一支蠟燭。避免:把卡座的靠背做得比人矮、讓相鄰卡座之間沒有遮蔽、使用硬質的木背椅、把桌子做得太大讓人坐得太遠。
