STOA

Linkable presentation system

BreakfastLunchDinnerBanquetsEvents

DFH began with a belief: that one system could suit any room and make food look its best.

Built in resin, timber, aluminium and stone, it takes on a different expression for each space, service and occasion. That system is STOA.

Precision in every link

Every brick locates directly into the next through an extrusion on its base and a recess on top, with no tools required.

STOA | Architecture

Bricks elevate. Links surface. Trays contain.

Bricks
Resin · Timber · Aluminium

The foundation of every STOA configuration. Linkable by design, they connect level to level from a single repeating form.
Links
Resin · Timber · Aluminium · Stone

The link is the stage. Elevated by bricks, finished in materials and colours chosen for the space.
Trays
Resin · Timber

Trays contain the service. A raised border keeps everything in place, through setup and through service.

STOA | Accessories and appliances

Appliances activate.

Appliances bring temperature to the line without interrupting it. Induction, heat lamps and ice wells are finished to sit with the rest of the display, so hot, cold and ambient dishes are served side by side.
