Behind the Build: How Modern Event Rental Fabricates Custom Bars & Lounges

When it comes to event rentals, not all custom furniture is created equal. Many companies rely on mass-produced imports, offering the same tired catalog of bars, chairs, and lounge pieces you’ve seen at countless events. At Modern Event Rental, we do things differently. Our Chicago-based team designs and fabricates much of our bar and lounge furniture in-house, giving event planners and brands access to exclusive, one-of-a-kind rentals that can’t be found anywhere else.

Why In-House Event Fabrication Matters

Most rental companies outsource their inventory. That means limited options, inconsistent quality, and little room for customization. By fabricating in-house, Modern Event Rental ensures:

• Unique Designs: From illuminated bars to modular lounges, our pieces are built to stand out—not blend in.
• Premium Quality: Our furniture is made with durable materials and finishes designed to withstand the demands of high-traffic events.
• Customization Options: Need your bar branded? Want your lounge upholstered in a specific fabric? Because we build in-house, we can adapt pieces to fit your event theme and brand identity.
• Tariff-Proof Pricing: While many companies face fluctuating costs due to imported goods, our U.S.-based fabrication helps keep pricing predictable.

Custom Event Bars That Define the Space

Bars are often the centerpiece of a corporate event, gala, or trade show activation. At Modern, we create bars that are more than serving stations—they’re experiences:

• Illuminated LED Bars with programmable lighting for brand colors or event themes.
• Modular Bars that can be configured in straight runs, U-shapes, or even large 12-foot circles.
• Custom Branding Options that allow companies to showcase their logo, campaign graphics, or messaging directly on the bar.

Each bar is fabricated to combine functionality with visual impact, ensuring guests remember your space.

Lounges Built for Interaction

In today’s event landscape, lounge spaces aren’t just about comfort—they’re about engagement. Our in-house team fabricates lounges that encourage networking, relaxation, and brand connection:

• Curved Modular Seating that adapts to your layout, whether for VIP sections or sponsor lounges.
• Premium Upholstery & Materials chosen for both style and durability.
• Exclusive Designs that give your event a signature look, differentiating it from generic setups.

The Creative Process

Our Custom fabrication team blends design vision with craftsmanship. Here’s how it works:

1. Concept Development: We start with a design brief or event theme.
2. Fabrication: Our Chicago shop uses high-quality materials to construct each piece.
3. Finishing Touches: From upholstery to LED programming, every detail is refined for maximum impact.
4. Event-Ready Testing: Before rentals go out, pieces are checked for durability, stability, and finish.

The result? Event furniture that looks stunning and performs flawlessly.
