Outdoor lounge chairs

An outdoor lounge chair turns your terrace into a place where guests linger. Leta Meubelen makes outdoor lounge chairs, armchairs and lounge sofas for the terraces of restaurants, bars and hotels, designed for commercial use.

Choose according to the atmosphere you want: a single armchair beside a side table, a two-seater for couples or a corner arrangement for groups. Material, colour, cushions and finish are tailored to your terrace and your indoor interior.

Which outdoor lounge chair suits your terrace?

An outdoor lounge chair is a low, wide chair with a deep seat, designed for relaxing rather than dining at a table. On a hospitality terrace, a chair like this sets a different pace: guests order another drink, stay longer and come back for the atmosphere.

The right choice depends on the space you have, how sheltered the terrace is and whether you mainly welcome couples, groups or business guests. A hotel roof terrace calls for a different layout than a café’s courtyard garden.

Outdoor lounge chair, two-seater or lounge sofa?

In this category you will find three types of seating. An outdoor lounge chair or armchair offers one person a comfortable spot, such as SIRIUS ROPE BERGERE, an armchair model with rope. Two-seaters such as PROYAN DOUBLE are suited to couples or two colleagues after work.

An outdoor lounge sofa with a corner element, such as MORLEY CORNER, forms the basis of a group seating area. By combining armchairs, two-seaters and corner sofas, you create zones of different sizes on the same terrace.

Hospitality lounge terraces: layout and atmosphere

A lounge terrace works best when it is clearly separated from the dining area. Place lounge furniture at the edge of the terrace, under a parasol or awning, or around a central feature such as a large planter.

Leave enough space between the seating areas so that staff can pass with a tray and guests can talk undisturbed. A low table for each seating group is essential; for this, see our side tables. For extra seating along the edge, add terrace benches.

Materials, cushions and maintenance

Outdoors, lounge furniture is exposed to sun, rain and wind. For each model, check which materials and fabrics are intended for outdoor use and how to maintain them. Rope and wicker give a soft, natural look that suits a summer terrace well.

Cushions determine comfort, but also the daily routine. Agree with your team when cushions go inside and where they can be kept dry. The simpler this is to organise, the longer your terrace will look well kept.

If in doubt, choose a colour scheme that matches the façade, the parasols or the awning. That way the terrace looks calm, even when not all the cushions are out.

Checklist: choosing outdoor lounge furniture

Use this decision checklist when furnishing a lounge terrace:

  • Target group: couples, groups or business guests.
  • Space: the number of seating areas and clear walkways.
  • Shelter: parasol, awning or open terrace.
  • Comfort: seat depth, back support and cushions.
  • Style: consistency with the indoor lounge chairs in your lobby or bar.

Aligning indoors and outdoors gives guests one recognisable experience, from lobby to terrace. Every outdoor lounge chair can be made in the same colours or fabrics as the interior.

Outdoor lounging at hotels, bars and restaurants

At a hotel, the lounge area is often on a roof terrace, by the pool or in the garden. Guests use that space from morning coffee to the last drink, so comfort and a well-kept look matter all day long.

A bar, by contrast, focuses on groups: corner sofas and two-seaters around a low table work better there than individual armchairs. A restaurant can use a few lounge chairs by the entrance to create a waiting area or aperitif corner, so guests get a taste of the atmosphere while still outside.

What is the difference between an outdoor lounge chair and a terrace chair?

An outdoor lounge chair is lower, wider and deeper than a terrace chair and is designed for relaxing, not for dining at a table. A terrace chair has a more upright seating position and stands at a table of standard height.

How much space does a hospitality lounge terrace need?

That depends on the number of seating areas and the layout. Lounge furniture takes up more space than terrace chairs, so plan fewer seats per zone and keep walkways clear for staff. Leta can help you plan the layout based on your floor plan.

Which outdoor lounge chair suits a hotel roof terrace?

On a roof terrace with lots of sun and wind, choose a sturdy outdoor lounge chair and agree on how the cushions will be stored. Combine armchairs with two-seaters or a corner sofa, so that both couples and groups can find a seat.

How do I keep lounge cushions on a hospitality terrace looking neat?

Bring cushions inside when it rains and at night, and store them somewhere dry. Clean them according to the advice for the chosen fabric. A set routine for opening and closing the terrace prevents cushions from staying outside longer than necessary.

Can I have an outdoor lounge sofa made in a corner arrangement?

Yes. Leta Meubelen makes outdoor lounge sofas to measure, including corner arrangements. Dimensions, shape, fabric, colour and finish are tailored to your terrace, so the seating area fits the available space exactly.

How long does it take to have outdoor lounge chairs made to measure?

Allow a lead time of 10–12 weeks from the moment the design is clear, so plan your order well ahead of the terrace season. At the showroom in Eindhoven you can view models and fabrics by appointment, which helps you make your choice faster.
